DON'T talk about it to your peers.
DON'T tell your parents.
DON'T post about it on social media.
DON'T go into it thinking you're gonna be a folk hero.
DO what you can, with what you have.

I feel like a subset of people online conflate “protesting and activism” with “posting about things online”
A reminder that involvement in protests should not be posted, and just because someone isn’t posting about an issue doesn’t mean they don’t care about it.

Bluesky idea: if people who didn't agree with you change their opinions so that they do agree with you, why not be happy that you are making progress - rather than complaining that they are "only just catching up"?

During the Soviet era, at times of govt instability, the state broadcaster would typically preempt scheduled broadcasts by airing performances of Swan Lake
And, tonight, the network's flagship news program -- 60 Minutes -- ran a clip show of old celeb interviews to "celebrate the movies" rather than put together an episode focused on what's going on in Minnesota.
The person who publishes the Free Press — where the words “Minneapolis” and “Minnesota” never appear tonight — also runs CBS News.

I hate to be cynical, but while I’m not doubting that Trump told Cruz to fuck off, its framing here seems more like Cruz is aiming for a sympathy vote from “moderate” conservatives.
Sorry Teddy, you don’t get to have it both ways. You’ll have to deal with the consequences of your actions.

The gun is irrelevant. If he hadn't had a gun they'd make up another reason. They lie, so there's literally nothing you can do that won't make them invent an excuse for their public street execution. They lied about the last one. They lie about the ones they sent to El Salvador. They lie.

No matter what happens with Trump, the old world order is over.
The United States demonstrated it's only as honorable or trustworthy as the people in office wish to be, and no one in the entire US government will limit an irrational or malignant actor unless it's for partisan reasons.
We're done.

If you have read even a single history of fascism, you are already aware that one thing that its rise has in common in every case is an opposition party that refuses to intervene for fear of looking weak or putting the left into power
