more than the self-referential mirror of seeing each other, they show our dissent to the world, show liberty as more than only an idea, and spread its light so that others will join. they're conspicuous evidence of other ways that exists; nonlinear paths that reaffirm and develop those ways of being
Protests aren’t the only tool in the anti-authoritarian toolkit, but they’re incredibly important. Protests help us see each other; they make it feel safer to refuse to obey the dictator, and make it more possible for us to organize mass non-cooperation.
It’s an essential step in the process.

One of my favorite things about Bluesky (or at least my little corner of it) is that people are always sharing resources for taking action.
So here's a pinned thread collecting those resources, some made by me and some made by others.

"I had not touched a cat in 15 yrs when an orange kitten wandered over to sit w/me in the grass one day. I was left without adequate words to describe that experience. It reminded me that I am alive. It instilled in me a raw, unbridled happiness that I had never felt before, not even as a child."

Has anyone explained what was happening for the 45 minutes between the 8:15am traffic stop and the first UVA Alerts text, which my phone received at 9:03am? That is such a long gap had there been an imminent threat.
