I saw someone else's version of this list without alt text. Every community includes low vision, blind, and otherwise disabled folks who make extensive use of screen readers, so I've created a revised version that includes alt text.

There are more people organizing and pushing back against the regime today than there were in the first term. There are more people in more places (rural towns and big cities across the country). I think it's really strange how resistant some people are to these facts. I wonder what's going on.

BREAKING: 30 young people were just arrested after blocking an ICE detention facility near Alligator Alcatraz.
ICE is kidnapping our neighbors on behalf of fascist billionaires. It's time for every single American to stand up to their intimidation tactics. Let's shut it down.

As we sometimes say in Quaker meeting: This Friends speaks my mind.
AI/LLMs are marketed as great tools to solve problems, get advice, create images & punch far above one's "weight class" to effectively communicate & persuade others.
They are in actuality anti-reality, anti-truth, anti-human multi-modal force-multiplier distortion weapons aimed directly at society

While most songbirds have left the Rocky Mountains for the freezing times ahead - one special exception remains. The antics of American Dippers are so enjoyable, they make up for the lack of many other #birds.
