- I truly think people don’t realize how many universities and colleges — especially public ones — may shut down if restrictions on and withholding of federal funding persists for even one presidency We are facing the demolition of American higher education

- They want this. Their goal is genocide, that's what all of this adds up to.
- "You are exactly right in your call for negotiation,” he wrote. “Indeed, this is the purpose of direct action. Nonviolent direct action seeks to create such a crisis and establish such creative tension that a community that has constantly refused to negotiate is forced to confront an issue.”

- I admittedly skimmed, but my first impression suggestion would be to score each answer from "never / sometimes / mostly / always" and give each of them a numeric value, with a score range at the bottom that explains/relates the value to a likely experience range. It'll be more accurate & useful imo

- Thank you to @maddow.msnbc.com for promoting @bsky.app on air and complimenting it. Her on air support is truly important

- Can't be an "opposition" party if ya got no will to stand for any goddamn thing
- I saw a post that said if you look at Biden & the dems this past decade as a response to Bernie Sanders rather than a response to Trump, it all makes a lot more sense

- Hahaha I'm too old to get the reference 😅 But fr though. Infuriating.
- Capitalism is organized crime in a suit and tie
- Fun fact, there was a lightbulb cartel that utilized planned obsolescence to shorten the lifespan of bulb tech, creating needless waste, entirely for profit. The cartel was incorporated by US companies in the 20s.

- Their tactics this time around are designed to sow confusion, overwhelm, and suppress resistance. It's difficult to respond because shit is happening too quick to effectively respond to. That means we need to locate this pattern in history and get prepped for what's coming, so we can resist ASAP
- This is what Musk & Trump are up to

- The people who complain that everything is a waste of time and money if it helps others sure do spend a lot of time and money trying to prevent well-being and efficiency
- What will you do to protect this world? The soil, the creatures, the fauna, the people? What is more precious than life itself?

- Most Zionist Jewish people I know act this way about antisemitism. They only care when it comes from people who are brown or critical of Zionism/genocide
- The US desperately needs a more evolved version of the Occupy movement. (No tents, please. Endlessly defending a bunch of floating signifiers is not the answer.) Alignment around our interests against those of the ultra-wealthy is the only way we're going to build the kind of power we need now.
- How do you expect people to occupy anywhere with no cover? The only other way to occupy would be to take over and barricade buildings, strategically.
- We literally have science fiction on why this is a bad idea.
- Certainly it's not predicting white collar crime or financial/corporate crime, lmao

- They chose to abandon us -- for money, and to avoid "conflict." They chose to comply with exclusion and discrimination. They'll lose a lot more money and gain a lot more conflict for those choices than if they stood for their values. It shows where their priorities lay. Choices have consequences.

- Most of the spineless liberals I know are not religious. They're just so conflict avoidant that they'd rather abandon their values than their temporary comfort. If you make them uncomfortable, you're fodder. It's utterly antisocial, colonial death-cult ideology shit
- It is hard for me to understand their spineless compliance even though it literally breaks all their rules lmao. They don't care about rule -breaking, they'll just do anything to avoid having to fight for anything, to avoid the potential for any kind of conflict.
- Star Trek did say the 2020s were gonna be a little rough
- DS9 calling it like The Simpsons
- Because in the United States, it’s legal to feed chicken shit to cattle. That’s why. That’s literally the reason www.telegraph.co.uk/global-healt...
- There's two separate strains, D1.1 in birds and B3.13 in cattle, which now has a second subvariant, and is less lethal in humans.
- Gender-neutral IDs remain valid in Massachusetts, despite federal ban 🌈
- Immunology testing is yielding results, pending review atm -- and neuropsych has revealed cervical spine degenerative nerve, disc, and bone issues, which were not there prior to 2022/2023. You do not want to get Long-COVID, I promise.

- I'm very sorry. That paper has zero integrity. You deserve better.
- It's not just a coup. It's a coup being executed by white supremacists and Christofascists. And Darren Beattie isn't merely some new minor functionary—he's been given what's considered one of the ten most powerful jobs at Foggy Bottom. He wants us to abandon Ukraine to Russia and Taiwan to China.

- US cops are a completely different breed than the UK or EU. The US is a cop culture, to a pretty extreme degree. Deeply connected to the KKK, full of rapists and domestic abusers, racketeering, gang murder. Running amok. Armed with military equipment.
- People are afraid of the inevitable massacre of protestors on the horizon. Also, most of the people who are front-liners are queer/trans/disabled/poc, being targeted by all the hate policy, trying to get safe first and foremost. Gathering ourselves. Connecting. Preparing.

- Meanwhile you're not allowed to treat the job as just a way to get money. You're an unserious employee if you don't care about the company's well being, but it's ok for them to be unserious about your well being. Mmmmhm
- It's been, one week since they did a coup

- Yeah tbh i think "neurotypical" is a misnomer -- i think the majority of people are "ND" and "NT" is the minority, using language of supremacy to hide their lack. NT ppl seem to have difficulty learning and adapting, so being ND seems better for baseline survival ability lol

- Yeah no. We do not have to hide. Queer people have ALWAYS been on the front lines of liberation. "We as a whole didn't do enough" is a shit excuse to continue to allow us to be targeted while ignoring that the "we" you refer to is those in POWER and with the privilege to enact change.

- Look at the percentage of the voting population that voted for him, then compare to total voting population *and* total US population over 18. You'll see that a minority percentage of the population voted for him.

- Yeah they let COVID rage and now they have to deal with the immense toll of Long-COVID disability. It's not that we can't work, it's that we can't get hired or keep a job because workplaces are extremely hostile to people who need accommodations, who can't work for 40 hrs or in 8-9 hour shifts

- That's why his concise explanations slap 🫡
- Reminder: They're trying to demoralize you, and they're doing a great job of it. Part of resisting is making time for joy despite the attempts to make you feel this is not the time for it. Love your people. Dig the art that speaks to you. Go to the places where life flows into you. You deserve joy.
- [Not loaded yet]
- Birdsong, bugs, foraging, identifying things all give me so much joy no matter how shitty things are. It's so easy to find joy if we step outside (of ourselves) even just for a moment 🥰
- You’re right. You mean like all those people who seem to think they can identify as any gender they want even though there’s only two? Or how about those people who think there’s no gender at all? Or those who think they can be a pink can or a frog or a fox
- Why do you want to control other people's lives and dictate their personal decisions so desperately when it has literally no impact on your own life and freedoms? Get a life of your own outside of Trump and shitting, my guy. I wish you only the worst 🫡
- Time to turn off the taps. Not a single bottle of American wine, beer or bourbon should be sold anywhere in Canada. From here on in I will only drink "freedom" wines from Canada, France or Spain. As for the beer? It's shit anyways. True. North. Strong. Free. @strongasfuck

- It is pretty wretched! I drink very occasionally, and really for the taste bc I'm so sensitive now. I'm surrounded by hyperlocal microbreweries and multiple local distillers, so I'm spoiled 😇 Literally there's like 10 within a 15m drive. Ginger beer, kombucha, vodka/gin, beer, cider... U name it
- [Not loaded yet]
- IMO there's too many people to agree with, and who are willing to be wrong and engage in real dialogue on here to bother this these. I just block and move on tbh.
