Retiree across the street, who now drives for Uber, just pulled his car out of his driveway. It is still snowing, there is currently about 10 inches of snow on the roof of his car, and he is about to leave to pick up someone needing a ride. Absolutely nothing good about any of this.

There goes the first ATV. So much for my peaceful and quiet snowfall.

The snow at 1pm. It had not started snowing yet at 6am. This storm may actually live up to expectations.

My professional and personal opinion is that it is normal and healthy to be losing one’s shit at this point.

Personal fantasy: Subjecting every member of the current regime to take the 1979 AP American History exam. And then publicizing the results. That alone, wouldn't change a damn thing, but it would amuse me.

Sports analogies are not my thing, but this makes all kinds of sense.
Establishing the run against authoritarian rule, as @edsbs.bsky.social says, requires the little things, the acts of resistance and kindness and community that eventually add up to something much larger and transformative.

Figuring out how to layer my clothing appropriately, if I am going to stand by the side of a highway with a sign, I WILL be dressed appropriately. I'm taking my role models from Minnesota.

A number of people from out-of-state have been opening tabs at small businesses—coffee shops where people on patrol can grab a drink and warm up, bars where people can be in community, etc. It’s been a deeply appreciated form of solidarity and helps the businesses closing tomorrow.
how (if at all) can we support the minnesota general strike on friday from afar?

Basically, lead or GTF out of the way.
it doesn't matter if you don't want to have this fight, it doesn't even matter if it's not politically optimal to have this fight
the fight is here and sitting it out is not an option
if you can't see that get out of the way

'Why aren't they in the streets' is answered almost every day in my small town by people in the streets! Rather than asking 'why aren't they in the streets' it's worth asking 'why isn't your media showing them in the streets' and 'who is served by downplaying resistane in its myriad forms.'
The idea that there are no protests in the US and no one is standing up to Trump is proving incredibly hard to kill over here in Germany. It’s become dogma, utterly detached from empirical reality.
I wonder if the people who keep talking like that understand they’re perpetuating regime propaganda.
