My actual job description is activist and here’s what I tell people in despair all the time: do not underestimate how much harm you can prevent by being just a little bit annoying.
This is one reason I keep trying to remind people of the power that we have. That we have *always* had. Not because I’m in denial, but because I know history. I’m no sophisticated intellectual, but I do know we’re going to win even though the bad shit is really terrible right now.
Too many people on Bluesky think that relentless expressions of despair are a sign of intellectual sophistication.

when they spend $3,000 billion on data centers taking zero risk (our tax money will bail them out 100%, because they intentionally tied it up in a big chunk of index funds / retirements), that's not for users, it's a collective daydream about never needing to pay any expert to do anything ever again

This should be front page news. There should be hearings about it.
"For much of the 2010s and likely before and since, it appears the crime rate of CBP agents and offices was higher PER CAPITA than the crime rate of undocumented immigrants in the United States."

However bad you think the corruption and misconduct at ICE and CBP is — the reality is far far worse.

Meaning if you went through it all and listened to a new song once a day every day, you’d have more than 8 years of material
Great job everyone

Deleted a post about “what’s your least favorite song” because the vibes are bad enough already.
Instead: what’s your favorite song that has a long title, say at least 6 words long?

This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

Nathan Vasquez could’ve said this, and he didn’t, and that was a choice
Philidelphia DA Larry Krasner warns ICE: If an agent commits crimes in Philly, I will charge you. You will be arrested. You will stand trial, and you will be convicted in state or federal court and you will do your time. Donald Trump can't pardon you for a state court conviction.

Minnesota needs to know the number of children in federal detention, who they are, and where they’re being held.

Transphobes talk about wanting to "protect women and girls", but when was the last time you saw one jump in the way of a boss's attack and risk critical damage and possibly one or more status changes? Never, that's when. So shut up.

They get the axxon api setup to direct feed this shit into their facial rec system so they don't have to carry phones and can free up their hands for more canisters and triggers
All bodycams are going to do is facilitate a surge in prosecutions for “assaulting agents” and improve data collection about protesters so good work everyone who pushed for that big reform.

yeah seeing the "Minneapolis took off because the so-called 'activists' got out of the way and let normal people in" takes is really frustrating. that's not at all an accurate look at what's happening in Mpls or anywhere else. All these movements rely on cores of people who have experience.
Lots of regular degular, never-done-an-activism folks have been activated in recent months and are working alongside a bunch of seasoned, die-hard, been-tired-for-ten-years-or-more organizers, and you don't know all of those stories bc most people are moving with a bit of discretion in these times.
