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.

The reality is America is a huge multicultural multilingual country, not a white ethnostate, and venomous white supremacist MAGA crybabies lose it whenever that reality becomes unignorable. We should always seek to increase, not decrease, their discomfort. www.the-reframe.com/hating-the-g...

I have successfully completed running the Leverage RPG. The Crew stopped a bank VP’s scheme skimming from mortgages whose officers he had blackmail on, culminating at a Super Bowl party. Playing this now has been a years-long goal. @rdonoghue.bsky.social @johnrogers.bsky.social @rustysellsword.com

There is a huge Knit-In on Mar 8 in DC hosted by my friend @knittingcultlady.bsky.social. I am not able to go, and would love to put together a satellite event here in PDX.
Is anything in the works already? Can folks connect me to Knitters Against Fascism?

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.

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.
