Violence is a feeling in its perpetrator. It is soul killing and never necessary to do harm with glee.

It is possible and may be necessary to act decisively to interrupt the fuck out of this broken system. But with thoughtful discipline rather than giddy release.
For those preaching violence is not the answer,

Violence is never an answer, it’s a question
& on rare occasions the answer is yes?

a common statement, First time I heard this was from my 1980 hockey coach when we our team was taking cheap shot after cheap shot & the refs had arm paralysis.

Can we just stop debating bullshit. Spies are being confirmed, the price of everything is about to blow up, and illegal raids are raping social services.

Don’t call it the Gulf of Blahblahblah and move on.

if you’re gonna be distracted by bread and circuses, at least focus on the missing bread.
We’re not going to call it the Gulf of America. Some thoughts on the latest episode of “The Jim Acosta Show.”

I have a feeling that as bad as we think everything is going, it's actually going even worse.

I have never in the history of ever have i given money or support to the republican party. Still they spam me. Today i got this text. The link was either ominiousor banal - asking if MAGA is prepared to “support” him… and of course, for money.

In Buddhism, there are four things that are always good:
Compassion
Equanimity
Loving-Kindness
Sympathetic Joy

Trump tears through the fabric of society, it’s easy to misplace these 4 immeasurables.

So here is a video to give us some sympathetic joy

Want a great slogan for midterms?
"If you FAFO and are struggling because of Trump policies, we understand. The Dems are here for you. Tell us how we can help you "

You get the point.

FAFO will be the theme. Be the solution.

Today in activism, this is the email address where the administration is demanding that federal employees turn in resistors. It would be a shame if it was filled with spam and subscriptions.

What it looks like to realize the antichrist is not just a scary fable.
When Trump³⁴ breaks his oath of office, realize he didn't actually have his hand on the bible while taking the oath

Yup

And Kamala Harris, who had previously sworn in all the newly elected senators, saw the entire thing going down

Good night BlueSky and remember: “Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can.”

My strategy at this point:
1. To do what I can to help those were most at risk. We are preparing for our land for refugees.

2. To stifle my desire to gloat and compassionately and strategically turn disillusioned MAGA back into true patriots.

What’s you strategy for resistance?

As my California animal sanctuary prepares to pivot to human sanctuary for “enemies of the state” we pray that peace and the privilege of being a blue state rather than a blue country at war will last as long as possible.

Trump salivates at the thought of bombing LA, SF, Portland or Seattle.
