So, this interaction came up in my feed just now: /2

Republicans saying they are in fear in DC. Reply that Republicans are scared of everything and its a culture of false victimhood and this is why US Protests work.

Gavin Newsom: “What more evidence of authoritarianism do you need? These guys aren’t screwing around. We can no longer screw around. It’s all at stake. People need to wake up. We can’t continue to play by the old set of rules.“

The first time he communicated with me, he advised, "You'll feel differently when you get older." I'm 63.

The first time Tom communicated with me he asked, "Judging from your post, I assume you're new to the internet?" That's art, folks.

@cnn.com Why are you not using the name Department of Defense? There was no Act of Congress to change the name. In your blurb that you will hold all to account, you've already failed to do so!!

From "Rawstory"? Yeah, I'll believe it when I see it.

Hey, southern Alberta! Have a look at this video...
If you know the driver, call RCMP.

Robson Fletcher @robsonfletcher.com · 1d

Police in Airdrie, Alberta (just north of Calgary) say this driver hit a 17-year-old girl in a marked crosswalk, got out of the vehicle, and appeared to get upset at the teenager before driving away.

They released this video and are now trying to identify the driver.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

If I were starting a civil war, I would send National Guard troops from one state to another.

As a retired journalism professor, I believe every newsroom in America must now develop Civil War Protocols: how it will conduct the profession of journalism when Donald Trump declares martial law and systematically ends our democracy. If your newsroom isn't prepared for this, it's rank malpractice.

"Illiberal Democracy" is right up there with "Alternative Facts".

Keep telling yourself that. It's a great excuse to sit back and do nothing or have performative protests on Saturdays.

A one day strike will do four fifths of sweet fuck all.

I'm in Canada and I'm gobsmacked at how little pushback there is. I've been saying for months to arm yourselves, stock your larders and strike. Don't go to work or anywhere else and only buy essentials. If somebody tries breaking in, shoot their ass!

Shoe 👠 🇨🇦 Always Choose The Bear @shootsfromhip.bsky.social · 4d

Or maybe this is "illiberal democracy" and not fascism...

The fact is that far more crime & child abuse have been committed by zealots in the name of god, jesus, & mohammed than have ever been committed in the name of satan.

Many people don't like that statement, but few can argue with it.

Does this look like democracy to you?

Greta Thurnberg has more balls than the majority of Americans today. Why the fuck are you putting up with this shit?? Arm yourselves, fill your kitchens until they won't hold any more food and then STRIKE!!! Don't buy anything but essential items, don't go to work or anywhere else.

STRIKE‼️
