I've lived in so-called red states all my life. Most of my loved ones live in them. I've seen countless innocent people suffer in them.

If you're slinging the "they got what they voted for line," whether saying it yourself or amplifying someone who does, you're getting removed from my TL.

quoting someone to complain about their replies being restricted isn't making a good case for opening replies, it's making a case for restricting quotes

As you fight ICE in your neighborhoods, always look for potentially positive outcomes to counterbalance your anger and despair. For me this continues to be meeting more neighbors, talking to more neighbors, and finding that others close by have also been fighting in ways I was unaware of.

but I'm mad that even more AI slop is making the rounds than I realized

There’s a video going around of an opossum eating candy and getting spooked by a Halloween decoration.

It’s generative AI and it fooled me too and I’m sore about it cause how dare you drag opossums into AI slop.

Tenant power is vital to community defense.

I can't recommend highly enough that you get connected to your local tenant union (or ATUN if your area doesn't have one yet), talk to your neighbors and buildingmates, get to know one another.

The building may have been selected for the raid bc bankers and realtors wanted it empty. A Brazil (movie)-like collaboration btwn bureaucrats, capitalists, and fascists that I don't think we're ready to deal with.
