There is absolutely no reason to follow me. I hardly even post pictures of my dog.

Isn't their argument that mandatory DEI work training videos are what drove everyone to Nazism? Maybe they're trying to push everyone back to Woke

Maybe we should change the ICE behavior so they are not unsafe to be near, instead.

It's a choice, it's not inevitable or universal. But the systematic rewards for doing it and punishments for not are very strong.

Rosa @rosaluxlux.bsky.social · 18h

Exactly!

I already thought this but 4 days biking in New York have fully convinced me that a one way street that has one fully utilized parking lane, one through lane, and one bike or bus lane is the ideal street configuration.

The problem is the percentage who approve of police riots, which is thankfully going down

The problem is that a key part of being American/white is adopting anti Blackness. It's the ticket in and once you grab it, it's hard to let go of.

Rosa @rosaluxlux.bsky.social · 1d

Wow, thank you, I didn't know any of that

Rosa @rosaluxlux.bsky.social · 1d

There's already a pretty good movement of grown-up 90s homeschooled kids out there arguing against all of this

He's actually an autonomous adult who gets to make his own decisions

Not mine but there was a whole generation of AIM activism before my kid got there.

The problem with "ask AI" is that there's nothing behind it. Your friend who gives advice, you can look at who they are and what they do and evaluate the advice based on that

The person I cannot get out to anything is my 20 year old son who just wants to put his head down and not engage. He's on the right side politically but He watched his friends and classmates and their parents get shot and tear gassed in 2020.

My mom, oldest Boomer, who was a Republican up until 1992, and a very right Democrat since, has been going to Tesla protests and hanging out bracelets to people who thought they were the only Democrat in her old people suburb.

So are they letting food and building supplies into Gaza yet? The most recent news I can find is a week old and the answer then was "not yet"

Rosa @rosaluxlux.bsky.social · 3d

There have always been "how to act in a relationship" advice columns and books. The difference is you can read reviews and ask friend what they think of those.

Yes exactly, you can't do it with that mindset, so get out that mindset. I'm telling you this is not impossible to do because I live in precarity paycheck to paycheck & still give mutual aid. You don't not give now because you may one day not have. If you have you can give & I'm sorry, people do.

Kinda hard to do that in a dog eat dog capitalistic society, though. As honorable and noble as it sounds. You may be comfortable today, but who knows about tomorrow? Especially if you have kids.

Rosa @rosaluxlux.bsky.social · 3d

I've been encouraging people to call the Dakota County Attorney and urge charges.

Rosa @rosaluxlux.bsky.social · 3d

Very specifically in this case. The officer who declined to evaluate needs to be in jail. Along with every guard who faked a wellness check

A group of hundreds of faith in coalition who started at a Maywood church just arrived at the detention center for a eucharistic procession.

They want to offer communion to detainees inside, but won't be able to get past the barricades and fence on Beach Street.

What happens to the candidate who is outed as changing their order during campaign season?

“Frog, can you be as wonderful as this?” said Toad as he danced all over the stage.

There was no answer.

Toad dances on the stage, a marvelous performer.

They've charged Christian activists for leaving water in the desert and giving rides to hitchhikers.

Reinstate Link as a gesture of good will

Apologize

Hire a comms person

Hire a team of consultants

Tag in the multiple orgs who backed you

This is not hard

A great way to turn the temp down here as @jay.bsky.team @pfrazee.com and @aaron.bsky.team want would be to stop communicating site policies and practices with individual users or on their timelines and hire a comms person who is a professional communicator to do all the front facing interaction.
