The Trump regime’s internal security enforcers murdered an American citizen in broad daylight.
The regime is illegally blocking the release of evidence of Trump’s extensive collaboration with Epstein. They’re agitating for war with France and Germany.
It’s completely insane anyone supports them.

losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people
really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

If you distrust Anthony Fauci, a medical doctor and scientist who spent 40 years as the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, but you trust RFK Jr., a lawyer and drug addict with no medical degree or training of any kind in medicine or science, you might be a moron.

Excellent article by @nolore.bsky.social on activism, organizing, communication, navigating conflict (tip: bring in older activists to help with this), avoiding purity tests, and the importance of good debate, among other topics, with concrete suggestions and strategies for all of the above.
An activist's manual.

The best part of vacation from a job where I have a very hard boundaried schedule (like—if I’m not so sick, I’m making it work) is cancelling a day’s plans/schedule and watching the trashiest TV. A mental-health day to re-up while on vacay. Yess!

I’m sick to death of people saying we’re “descending” into fascism. The fascism is ALREADY here. THIS IS WHAT IF FEELS LIKE.
And if you’re not feeling it, it’s probably because you’re one of the “good Germans.”
