If you post queerphobic bullshit like "Elonia Musk" or two male politicians kissing or whatever then I'm blocking you.
You don't need to make "ewww gaaayyy" jokes about these dipshits. You can simply point to the actual harm they are actively doing. You don't need to make gay jokes period, in fact.

every time I do a thread like this about a good election result I get a whole lot of “don’t get ahead of yourself, we still gotta make sure people are motivated for November” replies/quotes and while I understand the sentiment you know what gets people motivated?

Dems are now overperforming the 2024 lean of red districts by, uh, 30+ points in special elections
I’m not sure “apocalyptic” is sufficient to describe how the environment is starting to look for the GOP in November

RESULT: Democrat Chasity Martinez wins a special election for a legislative seat in Louisiana, 62% to 38%.
This was a district that Trump carried by 13% last year, so a big overperformance by Dems, but the seat was already Dem-held.

Bezos fired the foreign correspondents without even giving them a plane ticket home. They should be able to sue his ass for everything. In the meantime give to their fund here.
Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries.
One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home.

Nothing has stopped in Minnesota.
These agents and the people who send them want nothing good for Minnesotans, just pain. They make that clear.
They cut off our state's childcare funding, small business loan funding, agriculture loan funding. Instead they send secret police.

"What's an antler count?" idk it's probably called something else that I can't remember BUT it consists of a bunch of kids and a handful of adults, often Boy Scouts, walking through a forest preserve/wooded area in a line the way that people search for missing children...
My mom was pals with folks at one of the the local nature preserves, which ran programs for kids and had taxidermied stuff and various animal parts (talons, teeth, a big deer hide, feathers). (they also ran antler counts)
If we saw a fresh roadkill bird my mom would bag it & freeze it.

Is craftivism performative? Yes. That's the point. Resistance includes a public demonstration of opposition at accessible events with a low barrier to entry.
The red resistance hat pattern has raised $300k for the people of Minnesota. That's not effective?

Angela, the pussy hats weren't very effective. Knitting is cool, especially if you put resistance messages in it, but it's not resistance. It's performative. It's only actually effective if you're a spy and putting messages in or something. Otherwise it's a hobby, and the pussy hats were just silly.

Speaking of the Norwegian red hats everyone is knitting: knitters have raised over $300k for MN by buying the $5 pattern.
And symbols (like red hats) are a vital part of any resistance movement. They are used to unite members and serve as a visible display of opposition to the regime.
