also I spent the last year with an iron grip on the politics channel in our discord, specifically because I was not going to allow the story to become "we're all fucked, there is nothing we can do"

we all had days of fear, of exhaustion, of just being too run down to hope... but NO DOOM.

It all sounded very woo-woo to me. But the science backs it up: if you think you won't succeed, you never even try. Your brain is building a hallucination of your world all the time. If you REALLY want to focus on something you can control, the stories you tell about the world and experiences are it

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland.

Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends.

It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

US Government accounts have arrived on Bluesky.

Block on sight.

Protect your digital space.

Be aware that the DHS account in particular is known to quote dunk on regular people to encourage their followers to harass them.

The detach quote function will come in very handy here…

A very good thread on masking, especially in these hellish times when the systems meant to protect us are being spitefully destroyed by evil little power hungry gremlins. Mask up! Protect yourselves and your community! 😷😷😷
if you are rightfully concerned if not frightened about the continued dissolution of U.S. healthcare infrastructure, would you take an action every day to resist it?

Good morning.

The government is shut down because Trump wants to act like a king and steal from you.

Democrats have no obligation to support a budget that funds the destruction of our democracy - and DOUBLES health premiums to fund a tax cut for billionaires.

If you still need to share a link to a tweet, but don't want to send people to Musk's cesspool - replace "x" with "xcancel" in the tweet link.

For example x.com/dril/status/...

becomes xcancel.com/dril/status/...

People will still see the tweet, but without going to Twitter.

According to Oregon, Trump got the idea that Portland is on fire because Fox News illustrated a September 5 story on protests of ICE with video from the George Floyd riots in 2020.

If you're in Portland, go take some video of how nothing is going on there.

Every single one of these clips was taken today in downtown Portland. Portland doesn’t want or need a federal takeover. If Trump insists on sending federal “resources” he can start with funding health care, bridges, affordable housing, and wildfire protection to name a few.

The thing about organizations wanting people to RSVP for protests because contact lists are useful to them is absolutely true and it also has absolutely nothing to do with whether it's in your best interest to RSVP for a protest (it is not in your best interest).

From _The Complete Time Traveler: A Tourist's Guide to the Fourth Dimension_, by Blumenthal, Curley, and Williams. It's a humorous look at everyday time travel, published in 1988 (and 2038?). But even back then, the authors had Donald Trump's number. #timetravel #humor #2038 #1988 #alaska
