I like how the news will be like “while the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

During the Sept. 30 raid one tenant protected a terrified girl and her mom. Remnants at the complex, including a detailed map of all the units, offer clues to what authorities may have known before th...

Apparently tech billionaires are setting up doomsdays bunkers cause they all believe AI that is powerful enough to destroy humanity is coming soon. Just in case you need a reminder that being a billionaire doesn’t make you smart

Apparently people have been getting their needs fully met from that thread I started as well as the multiple other threads inspired by Link.

If this doesn’t demonstrate Link’s impact and the value of BlueSky as a mutual aid network, I don’t know what can.

Keep it up y’all.

Fascism demands to be taken seriously and to be feared. That makes mockery a powerful tool. Is it how you "beat" fascism? I wouldn't go that far. But inflatable Reptar has surely poked a clearer hole in the story the White House is telling that the Democratic Party's multimillion dollar comms shops.

This video is everywhere because it's a hilarious visual refutation of Portland being on fire. You can't get a mass movement going without convincing the masses

so yes, this does do something actually

This literally does nothing. You are not beating fascism by dressing up in inflatable suits and dancing

Portland is leading the way. This is how you (non violently) beat Fascism. Humor and ridicule are key.

Similarly, I think we need a statement from @lisaforprogress.bsky.social that the city will offer no cooperation or assistance to ICE or any other federal occupying force should a Chicago-style invasion take place.

They are currently looking for someone to fill the role.

Since Link is banned, his mutual aid Fridays have gone with him. This was one of the most altruistic things I’ve seen anyone on this site do.

In light of this, I’m gonna try to fill the gap.

Drop your mutual aid requests under this thread and I will repost them for as long as I can.

@lisaforprogress.bsky.social would love a response to this question

Guy @guyjt.bsky.social · 4h

Doing drugs in public is already a crime. Camping in public is already a crime. Disorderly conduct is already a crime. Genuinely, respectfully, what more discretion specifically do you feel the police need?

Mayor Lisa Brown @mayorspokane.bsky.social · 1d

@spokanecity.org is committed to connecting people to the resources they need, while also creating an enforcement mechanism for those who continually choose to violate the law. I am also proposing we give officers more discretion to cite those who repeatedly create public disorder.

Also i am even more surprised the guy who made Idiocracy with it's absolutely cruel classist, ableist take also brings us this show that is much more humanizing of lower class white people and much more making fun of liberal snootiness

I don't get it really

Sometimes it still surprises me the guy who brought us Beavis and Butthead and the guy who brought us The Office (US) got together and made a pretty good cartoon show that had 13 seasons and is now back for a 14th and maybe more on Hulu.

Ares looks like it doesn't have anything to make it stand out over those and that's unfortunate.

Taliesin82 @taliesin82.bsky.social · 19h

The nostalgia for Tron is kinda funny cause while it was groundbreaking technologically it wasn't a great movie. It had some fun moments tho. I mean i'm even pointing fingers at my own nostalgia here. Legacy was similar in that it was great cgi, killer soundtrack, but middling story.
