The person in this costume has been doxed by Andy Ngo and should be protected at all costs.

Now I wonder if those exoskeleton devices that let you run everywhere can cure my depression 😭

Or maybe that’s just virtue signaling and the virtue is “be as much of a maximally inflammatory asshole as possible” haha

p0usr.bsky.social @p0usr.bsky.social · 33m

Agree 100% with this, although I’m curious if anyone has done analysis on how conservatives are basically doing the inversion of virtue signaling at this point (“vice signaling”?)

An ever-growing segment of the right seem to stand for nothing other than being as maximally inflammatory as possible

the virtue signalling vs. not discussion just strikes me as a social drama that makes sense within the class of people that don't think they have anything else at stake in these discussions other than clout, some of whom also can't imagine any other way of relating to these discussions

Right like inflation got under control but the prices just… stayed there

And corporations were happily announcing record profits

If that doesn’t suggest you should maybe reconsider whether getting Covid a bunch isn’t a good idea, I don’t know what to say.

Preorder Read This When Things Fall Apart @mskellymhayes.bsky.social · 8h

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

There’s a really, really dark but highly informative Reddit thread where people share their personal experiences of some of these encounters nationwide: www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/...

If they’re all true, the media is not telling even half the story

I watched a video captioned “You can Dougie to anything if you aren’t a coward” and then he proceeded to Dougie to Linger by The Cranberries

Definitely don’t see how 3.5 more years of this on a QUADRUPLED budget is going to work

Are MAGAs sick enough to actually get a kick out of this shit? Or this past the line even for them?

We have to bring back the original definition of “stay woke” because how are people THIS asleep at the wheel ughhh

Hinkle and Fuentes got massive audience boosts the last few years over this bullshit too. Need people to lock in here and be vigilant

Best to not actually pick up any alleged tear gas or smoke grenade or projectile. Too hot. And there’s been a lot of use of flashbangs. The misfire rate on them is not zero. Only a matter of time before some damn fool bleeds out because they lost a hand

I just got off a call with a group of young people who were seeking some guidance for a project they have launched in their community. Folks, I can tell you that we are blessed in this generation. They are smart and importantly so damn compassionate. ALSO, they know more than we did at their age.
