It’s nice to revisit the memories of what it was like having a president with integrity and decency.

THIS!! There are many ways to protest and resist, even if you can't show up, for whatever reason! #HandsOffDEIA #HandsOff #HandsOffProtests #StrongerTogether💙🫂💙

A blue poster with small graphics of fists raised, a hand smashing a swastika and groups of silhouetted protesters says the following:

Virtual Protests
Are Part of the Fight
for all of us who can’t safely show up in person.
They create space and solidarity for:
- Communities who face disproportionate policing & risk at protests
- Caregivers of young kids
- Elderly folks
- Chronically ill individuals
- Immunocompromised people
- Disabled people
- People without reliable transportation
- People in rural areas
- Survivors of domestic violence
- People navigating mental health challenges
- People with anxiety, PTSD, or agoraphobia
- Low-income individuals who can’t afford to miss work or travel
- Queer and trans folks in unsafe or unsupportive environments
- Undocumented individuals or those with legal vulnerabilities
- People under surveillance, probation, or parole
- People in areas where protest is dangerous or heavily policed
- Shift workers and those with inflexible jobs
- Caregivers responsible for others
- Anyone who just doesn’t feel safe in a crowd

Show up however you can: online, anonymously, with art, with your words, with your vote.
Not everyone can march—but we can all resist.
Virtual Protests
Are Part of the Fight
We see you. You belong here.
#HandsOffDEIA

Ben Meiselas posted Obama’s speech at Hamilton College in Meidas Touch. Obama’s calm, reassuring manner and powerful words help me feel hopeful about the future. It’s well-worth hearing! #Obama

No, I’m not talking about the massive Christmas cold front about to plunge the East Coast into the proverbial depths of winter.

From SEMAFOR (below): The Chinese Communist Party has now admitted that it was using the Musk Algorithm to spread disinformation—and that the rise of Bluesky is a major threat to it. This tells us everything we need to know about what Twitter was and is—and who the new co-POTUS Elon Musk was and is.

Blocking Nazis, trolls, and fascists doesn’t make it an “echo chamber.” People need to stop gaslighting us into thinking we have to listen to Nazis and debate trolls in order to be informed.

They're such whiny victims, even when they have all the power they still complain about being supposedly victimized, so now they're trying to rig the rules of broadcast TV to protect themselves, and promote themselves, further.
