Authoritarians Want You To Quit
Don't withdraw entirely, but it's OK to partially disengage. The future will be tough, and you're in better position to fight if you stay sane. Here's how I'm adjusting.

I'm already feeling smothered so I'm pinning this article by @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social that I reposted earlier to remind me (and maybe others) of ways to stay sane.

You walk into this bar and show your ICE mugshot, you don't pay a dime.
Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera.

So I've seen the video supposedly showing Alex Pretti spitting on and kicking an ICE vehicle. Is it real? Maybe, but it doesn't matter. Nothing he did deserves what he got. The whole "he's no angel" thing makes me even madder.

The World Cup US location needs to be reconsidered immediately, no matter how many tickets have sold or how high demand is.
It is not safe for participants nor spectators. FIFA needs to do the right thing and Infantino needs to show some damn leadership instead of the bootlicking he has done.
