I’ve been trying to convince friends and family that the time of remaining “non-political” and putting their hopes on unicorns and rainbows flew out the window a looooooong time ago. Get out there and resist! So far, it ain’t working. I don’t get it.

Naturalized citizen here. Yes - a United States of America citizen. I used to travel but once I reached the point of wondering if I should carry my proof of naturalization (and then worrying that “they” may accuse me of forging it) in addition to my passport and driver’s license…

They’re busy being “non-political” and “shutting out the bad news.”

Lately I’ve been daydreaming that I become Arya Stark, doing that thing she does with the baddies. Usually happens after I read the news.

Pro-tip: Don’t try to take on Gavin Newsom’s press team. Especially if you’re a dumb dumb.

A series of posts on X and an article preview. The first post by Laura Loomer (@LauraLoomer
) from 3 hours ago states, "No. COVID jabs kill. You wish." This is a reply to a post by Governor Newsom Press Office (@CAgovernor
) from 7 hours ago, responding to @LauraLoomer
and @LoomerUnleashed
with "vaxxed?" followed by a second reply 29 minutes ago saying, "maybe the dog food made you sick again?" The conversation includes 219 replies, 253 retweets, 1.8K likes, and 122K impressions. Below is a preview of an Independent article by Ariana Baio, dated September 20, 2024, at 4:05 AM PDT, titled "Inside the pro-MAGA pet company that convinced Laura Loomer to eat dog food," with a 3-minute read time and 14 comments. The article image shows a person holding food near their mouth in a room with shelves and decorations.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

The more Mike Johnson delays an Epstein vote, the more my suspicious mind wonders if maybe his good name is in one of those files?
Mikey?

I don’t agree with everything Gavin Newsom says/does but he is my governor from my state and he is one of the few putting himself out there to call out the squatters in the White House.

California doesn’t go down without a fight.

Tell your friends in the starter pack to post on Bluesky. Several have tens of thousands of followers and post one every three months if at all. Why should I follow them if they are still only posting on x
