They want hate and division… so fight back with love and kindness

Fight back with community care

Donate to mutual aid. Set up a community fridge or library. Volunteer your time. Set up a neighborhood ICE watch. Wear a mask

Embody the protesting frog or the dancing rainbow unicorn.

We got this.

Re signgate:

Maybe this is why it might not be the most productive thing to assign a political bent to a company based on vibes (or even soundbites)

People are not necessarily the same as their employer’s policies.

(Unfortunately obligatory caveat: this isn’t a takedown; it’s not a zero sum game)

I know it seems impossible, but you can use a service or consume art without putting your whole lot into supporting it so you don’t have to backtrack or look bad when it turns out they’re actually not sliced bread #2 (obligatory wrasslin’ reference).

The need to prove bonafides must be exhausting.

The Kender are my new favorite fantasy race. Very similar to The hobbits yes I looked it up but they have extra powers and features that make them a lot more fun!

Looking for resources to help protect communities from ice. Here’s what I know of so far.

ICEBlock is one I use and seems to still work but it’s been removed from the App Store.

Iceout.org is one I recently found but I can’t comment on how effective it is since I’ve never used it locally.

Well nukes and internment camps have never directly impacted ~me~ negatively at least based on my limited understanding of historicity and not paying attention, so

The whole empty, centrist Dem scam is collapsing in real time.

This is a leg sweep, followed by a quick boxing of Schatz’s ears. These hacks need to go away. They are killing us in so many ways.

An exchange from Twitter where Brian Schatz is bemoaning ICE and Adam Johnson points out Schatz voted to double their budget just last year.

If you ask why Americans aren't doing more to protect their own democracy, you get a bunch of replies like this.

"We can't, because..."

"Don't blame us, because..."

"There's nothing we can do, because..."

Claire Grasso @grassoisgreener.bsky.social · 3d

Like there are so many reasons why a comparison between the US and Italy or anywhere in the EU is not apples to apples. I want to believe people just don’t realize how precarious American life is when they ask this because otherwise I have to assume it just feels better to victim-blame than help.
