As a gay man, I have such difficulty understanding the frequent desire for men to tap each others asses in the predominantly hetero sports world. Not that I'm at all complaining, of course, it's just curious 🧐

What can you do?

Don’t give up hope. Dictators feed off your hopelessness.

Don’t quit. Dictators want you to give up.

Punch back. Dictators are bullies, and bullies are cowards.

Stay tethered to the truth. Dictators need you to believe their lies.

Resist. Stand with others.

The AP should stop covering Trump events. Instead send those White House reporters out into the field to report on the harms and repercussions of his policies.

The U.S. public never needed coverage of pseudo-events anyway.
Associated Press: “Today we were informed by the White House that if AP did not align its editorial standards with President Donald Trump’s executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, AP would be barred from accessing an event in the Oval Office.“

Do not comply in advance.

Do not comply swiftly, do not comply easily.

Do not comply without delay, without mistakes, without unfortunate errors.

Now it makes sense why I always mix up this man with the man who suggested slavery wasn't all bad because the slaves learned very useful skills.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that President Donald Trump’s call for the ethnic cleansing of Gaza — widely condemned by international officials as incitement to commit human rights violations — is actually “very generous” toward Palestinians.
Rubio Says Trump’s Plan to Expel All Palestinians From Gaza Is “Very Generous”
The secretary of state’s remarks came as Trump faced widespread backlash for his proposal.

I’m on my way to the Treasury Dept to demand answers. Billionaire-in-Chief Elon Musk has been given illegal access to Americans’ private info, including Social Security numbers.

Zero people voted for Elon to run our government. This is about oversight and transparency.

Musk doesn't want the names of his little group of Fagan-esque It urchins getting out, probably so they don't get doxxed.

Here are their names

I wish people who want to be defeatists would start by defeating their own urge to spread their spirit of surrender. It's not helpful and it's not an accurate assessment of the present or the possibilities. Yes, we're in a hideous crisis. Yes, there's lots to do and lots of people trying to do it.

You don't need permission to resist.
You don't need approval to resist.
Your resistance doesn't have to solve the whole problem.
You don't have to give more than you have.
Just do what you can, when you can.

Law only works if people pretend it exists. When we take Trump's word for it that he has the authority to do something it *gives* him that authority.

It is important that journalists stop reporting what Trump or Musk says as law.
