Seriously, do not buy, stream, or otherwise support of promote more Harry Potter bullshit. It is no longer theoretical - Rowling is funelling those wizard bucks into getting the law changed to actively oppress an already-vulnerable minority.

If you saw someone being sexually harassed on the train, would you know how to help? If you saw transphobia at your local coffee shop, would you know how to intervene without making things worse?

Let me teach you effective bystander intervention - for free!

May Day Reminder:

The Federal Minimum Wage - in the richest country EVER - is still only $7.25/hr.

UNACCEPTABLE.

On occasion, when people have said “X is as bad as the Holocaust”, I have replied, “X is very very bad but I don’t think you understand the Holocaust. Can you explain why they fed the inmates at Auschwitz?”
CW: The Holocaust

When Hitler began programs of mass death, the Nazis *immediately* ran into problems of implementation.

It took *years* to build the infrastructure, and they only started once they realized that they physically could not just shoot every person they wanted dead.

In fact, we need people not directly at risk to speak up loudly. If you are trans, it doesn’t have to be YOU putting your face out there for trans rights all day. It’s everyone else’s job to stand up and fight.

If you’re a US citizen, you need to fight for vulnerable immigrant friends and coworkers

There are a lot of bad things happening all at once, and it’s overwhelming to think about how to meet moments like this.

Jean says to focus on 1 or 2 things that you care about, understand fairly well, and are either local or involve a topic where you’re likely to have influence and find community

What an idiot. I will guarantee that almost 100% of autistic kids probably won’t do 14 years of heroin, attempt to scavenge a bear carcass for dinner or have worms in their brain.

The trick is to avoid stressing the billionaire out too much; otherwise the meat will be ruined by the cortisol and lactic acid. It will spoil quickly and be tougher. For this reason, guillotines are not advised if you intend on eating the billionaire. Low-stress handling is key.

Block everyone who says this is all worthless etc etc. 4 GOP Senators is more than we had before. By the time the House can bring it to a vote via discharge petition in a month a lot more GOP congresscritters may be worried about their jobs. Do not concede the fight in advance.

Honestly you can spot the fed in your group chat because they're the one pushing for more violence and more publicity simultaneously

Yes, even your signal chat. As soon as it goes beyond people you know face to face, just assume there's a fed there
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: just like every gun is always loaded, there is a fed in every chat
Anecdotal, but I'm definitely noticing an uptick in advocacy for violence here. About which I'll say only this: Promoting violence on social media is the work of trolls and fools, those eager to bait others into implicating themselves in the age of surveillance or fools rushing to the gulag.

The person who punched Richard Spencer and instantly made him a meme never got caught. Just threw one punch and skipped off into immortality. I think about that a lot.
one of the most important things to learn, if you're out there doing things:

you don't get to talk about it.

you don't get to brag about it, you don't get to tell your friends, you don't get drinks bought for you in the bar off the story.

it's *always* shut the fuck up friday
