I feel like we need to build our own systems in society to provide for people's basic needs, outside of the govt. we need to stop trying to rely on the fickle administrations of the govt to give the most vulnerable among us food, shelter, healthcare, etc. and just have the community provide it
Trump won't be impeached and he won't be removed from office. We're all going to be forced to watch in horror as he completely destroys America's standing in the world, its economy, and the stability of the world order.

There's nobody that's going to step in to stop this. No one can.
are we at war with the US government? because it sure feels like they’re at war with us
US Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem speaks at a podium with a Nazi slogan engraved on it that translates as ““One Of Ours, All Of Yours”.” Its origin lies in the assassination of a Nazi officer in a Czech village, which was met with the massacre of the entire population. She defends ICE.

One of the most critical skills to develop when you’re new to activism is knowing the difference between people who are teachable vs people who gleefully refuse to engage with reality.

We need to change as many minds as we can, as fast as we can—AND we have no time for minds that refuse to change.

can’t believe I’m approvingly reposting Will Stancil, but I guess that’s where we’re at
An open movement, that’s huge and universal, will be more effective than a closed movement that is tiny and paranoid. If we let a fed spy into rapid response, who cares? For every one of them we get 300 neighbors. All they can do is listen as we swarm them.

Blueanon accounts that just reply to every goddam post with memes and photos of Trump, fuck off forever.

both the post and reply here are very real, tbh. it’s super okay to want to use social media as an escape sometimes, and it’s also important to not do that so much that you aren’t living in reality. the problem is that Bluesky allows you to do both and each user usually only chooses one of them
A favorite genre of social media interaction:

REPLY: No. Things are very grim right now. You must suffer at all times.

French judge explains how Trump sent people from the US Embassy to try to intimidate her during Marine Le Pen's trial for embezzlement — and details how he has used similar fascistic tactics to intimidate other judges around the world who rule against his alt-right friends.

I’m increasingly of the view that Bluesky will never be the replacement for Twitter (short-form reactions to real-time world events) while it also tries to be a dialectical discussion platform (the closest example of a good one is Kialo). there has to be a different platform for actual discussion.

Unrelated ag fact: there are stingless Melipona bees that make honey!

Sometimes people think "I should raise those! Why do we even bother with honeybees, if we can just raise bees that don't sting?"

Then they try raising the stingless bees, & find out why almost nobody does that
They don't have capacity to terrorize more than 2-3 cities at a time.

Which means they rotate teams to new cities without relief.

Which means consistent resistance by fresh activists in each new city will break them over time.

Which means if you're city's not occupied, rest up and get ready.
"The Department of Homeland Security plans to pause operations in Chicago — where Gregory Bovino, a Border Patrol official, has led controversial arrest efforts — to support the immigration enforcement operation in Minnesota."

is there a general consensus in the #atdev community on whether we’re working towards a future where
1. some random app will trigger Germ or whatever app you prefer and you have actual convos in there
or
2. some random app will somehow use Germ’s flow to deliver messaging within the random app
?
Germ is like a Signal that is built for integrations. Signal has made clear they do not want to interoperate anywhere. Our priority right now is bringing your ATProto network into our app, not bringing our app into your app. But it is possible longer-term and clearly of interest to the community

this was also consensus opinion for center-right types after george floyd’s murder five years ago. the state media apparatus will be working overtime the next few weeks to reprogram them
Really worth watching this interview with a bystander who witnessed the ICE shooting in Minneapolis: "I'm pretty right-leaning. But seeing this, this is not how we're supposed to be doing things in America.”

I think the nuance here is that on the Bluesky version it’s not just one but 240 people (in this instance) replying to this person saying they suck, which, granted, usually does feel like hell. you’d have to be crazy for it not to feel like hell.

Apple just released the ability to identify yourself as an adult in one of the most recent iOS 26 updates. you as a user should go opt in right now, and Bluesky should start using this feature as soon as possible. it would show US regulators we don’t need KOSA to protect kids online
