The Oswalt post calls for violence against an individual, which is against the Bluesky community guidelines. Removing it is appropriate, I think. Lots of ways to express outrage without calling for violence.

"In total, the experiment was run 216 times, and in 79 cases the test subjects accurately detected the buried objects without touching them, and correctly stated that there was "no object" 58 times." How is this different from random chance?

This is how he got elected: media pontificating on his every little brain fart as if it’s a thing. It drives clicks and it’s great for business.

Also, people stepping up to help their neighbors. They pushed the goons back. This is what nonviolent resistance looks like. It’s effective.

Not sure he’ll last that long, given the way he, himself, is tearing down the structures that got him into power. Thinking it’s only a matter of time before what’s left turns on him.

Why would he bother? This is a mess of our own making. No one can save us but ourselves.

Yes, 10 years ago there was no other viable EV. Say what you want about Tesla now, it kickstarted the EV revolution. And early adopters got burned. Looks like the brand will have to tank and restart w/o the fascist in charge to survive. The crash is coming.

The cruelty is the point. But they’re also shooting themselves in the foot. Even the guy with the funny mustache knew enough to keep his supporters happy with jobs and food. This will not end well for the regime.

I don’t understand why this isn’t being done everywhere. Is it because cops tend to be MAGA? What about mayors and chiefs? Why aren’t they demanding this?

Find your local rapid response group and get trained up. We can and will continue to resist in growing numbers.

Weekend strolls during off hours that inconvenience no one aren’t going to do it, I’m afraid. We need mass strikes and boycotts with clear demands.
