#CFS, Novid. I avoid TV and all mainstream media. I volunteer at a place that gives away thousands of donated books monthly, so yeah, I read a lot. I'm interested in Covid safety, cats, alt med, self healing, and climate change.
Best thing I've seen today!
Sometimes I think it’s going to be the librarians who will save us all.

I love and admire Ben for many reasons, and one of them is how perfectly he is able to distill the pathetic-ness of the right and instill hope and solidarity in everyone else around him.

This is actually brilliant. The point isn't to win, because you're not gonna win. The point is to run and tell the truth, and mess with their narrative.
I've seen this go by a few times on TikTok now and I have to say, I love this idea. We need a way to convince people to keep running even if they don't win, maybe building the loss into it as a troll move is the secret.

you can win without billionaires supporting you
you can win without party leadership endorsing you
you can win unapologetically standing with every persecuted minority pundits say are too politically toxic to touch
we could do everything about this process differently if we wanted to

Can’t stop thinking about all the robber baron fucks that held secret meetings and spent MILLIONS AND MILLIONS in bribes and campaign investments and attack ads and media manipulation trying to tank Mamdani currently having the dawning realization that their money is completely and utterly useless.

A valid point. Most of the people that settled Australia were convicts, tried and found guilty by English courts of stealing bread to feed their hungry family. Perhaps that is why we are so prone to reality at times.

I love Rebecca DOWN. Known as Dollar Tree Dinners.
Her “Meal in a Bag” is meant to provide ppl with a complete meal that is $8 or less, is shelf stable, & can be made without access to a full kitchen. I love this as a direct aid option. Good for neighbors & elders who can’t/wont go to a pantry.

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

Frog power is rising.
Whoever came up with the idea of mocking this gratuitously cruel regime with cute, nonthreatening plastic frogs really hit a gold mine. The clever imagery has made it all the way across the Atlantic.

I love how we're remembering to be silly.
I’ve seen just one counter-protester at No Kings San Diego. He’s got a Trump 2024 flag and this guy has been following him around for probably an hour playing Benny Hill and circus music.

Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.

I learned this weekend the value of de-escalation when our weekly protest was involved in an incident. This is valuable info that could literally save your life. And everyone can use a brush-up on what their rights are, especially since no one else will protect you except YOU.
