As a social movements scholar, I absolutely love the diversity of tactics being developed by each city, reflecting their local flavor
Portland kept it weird with inflatable costumes
Chicago protected its street vendors by buying up their food each day
Charlotte chased ICE agents into the woods

Sometimes you send something you found online to a friend because you want to brighten their day, and sometimes you send something you found online to a friend with the precise attitude and bearing of a cat very carefully lining up their paw with the back of another cat's head.

Minor digression, but one thing I am going to need everyone to start internalising now is that there is not going to be a moment where Trump stands up on stage and says “I declare Civil War”
that is not how it works. These things get named by the outside and after the fact

So many things, from annoyance all the way up to fascist oppression, could be prevented if people could accept the fact that other people have different desires and ways of being in the world and that that's a) completely fine and b) not anybody else's business.
So I don’t want a bathtub. Men literally refuse to accept this. So now my part time job is arguing with those men about building me what I want versus what they think I should want.

A 1 yo with a bruised cheek is NOT ok. Not because she's incapable of giving herself that bruise, but because she was alone with amoral strangers and has no way of communicating her experience.
