#MakeGoodTrouble
Pinned
Enough with the portentous Death of Democracy whinging.

Enough with filling out your Autocracy Bingo Cards.

Enough with mournfully quoting Hanna Arendt.

Get together, get active, organize, #MakeGoodTrouble, fundraise, lobby, litigate, protest and fight back.

There are so very many things that are fucked up about how things are in Minnesota right now and it is hard to tell what the outside world knows about.

The street blockades may seem odd . . . if you haven't seen the way ICE & CBP drive.

@cbssundaymorning.bsky.social Wow!

Kissing, The Eagles, and a dog show!

Having Bari Weiss breathing down your neck sure hasn't kept you from hard-hitting coverage of the real issues faced by Americans, or the threats to our democracy.

There are protests going on everywhere across the middle lands of the Coyote Continent every day. You can find them at mobilize.us.

Angry Orange Grandpa's regime provides humans with new *reasons* to protest every day:

one reason it would be pro-capitalism and pro-innovation and yadda yadda to institute a wealth tax so no one could be worth more than like $10b maximum is its very obvious that once these guys reach truly mind-melting levels of wealth they get lazy, decadent, druggy, and just generally washed-up.

“Piles of Shame” isn’t just unpainted minis, pals..,
At the bookstore I overheard a teenager saying to her mom "I probably shouldn't buy any more books until I've read the 13 unread books I already have" and I just thought to myself, oh, you sweet child, it's already too late.

This is bleak: Jes Staley, currently CEO of Barclays, reassuring Epstein that popular revolt against financial elites is unlikely because capitalism and pop culture have defanged social movements, leaving people more invested in consumption than justice.

Bitterness and cynicism are a form of surrender, when anger at injustice remains but the will to confront it is dulled by resignation. As true warriors, let anger at injustice be bright and righteous, and let it drive us to confront its cause, stand in its way, and cast it down.

I used to draw characters playing instruments long ago and I thought could try drawing that again. And that idea coincided with my wanting to draw an American badger 🦡🎸

From writer @stephenmarche.bsky.social, proud Canadian, on what the current despot rule of the US has meant for Canada and the world.

If Dems get House and Senate majorities, do the start impeaching the small fry first, or go right for Trump?

Nailing Miller, Noem, Patel, Vought, Bondi, and etc, first would mean a Vance presidency wouldn't have them on hand to do evil shit for him. He'd have to find new talent."

Caught a whiff of skunk spray on this morning's dog walk.

Not a pleasant spell, but it really seems to light up parts of your brain you're not normally aware of.

I figure that's how my dog experiences the world all the time.

I haven't read a mass market paper back in years, but I'm sad to see them go. My first Poe was a mmp my mom bought in a drugstore. We were so broke, all I could afford were stripped mmps with no covers for a dime each. But they changed my life. RIP mmps

Trying to decide if I should volunteer Daphne for a "Kiss a Blood Donor Dog" event on Valentine's Day. It would be at a local pet supply outlet.

If you ever visit NYC, take the time to see the Museum of the Moving Image. You need to treck out to northern Queens, but it has many great exhibits, but especially for the large wing about Jim Henson's career.

It feels like a . . . would writing "holy" be sacrilegious? . . . place.
