This man literally put everything on the line for what he believed in when faced with encroaching fascism. He's an example we should all learn from right now.

4 Lakota men were kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis. 3 of them were taken to what used to be a concentration camp for Native people, and the only people talking about it are other Indigenous people. I am angry but mostly numb, I am so used to this at this point. We are always forgotten.

🔥 From @statuscoupnews.bsky.social : “This is nuts. What the fuck is going on? I’ve never protested in my life… they tell you it’s immigrants — it’s fucking anybody. They’re just trying to scare people. I’m not paid to be here. I have to work in the morning. This is wrong.”

Exactly.
This is why we celebrate the Boston Substack Party, when the patriots wrote strongly worded pamphlets about tea.
Republican on CNN: You peacefully protest with a letter to the editor. You peacefully protest by starting a Substack or a podcast.

Exactly.
This also shows up in The Birth House by Ami McKay.
It is the 107th anniversary of Boston's Great Molasses Flood, which, despite the delightful name, was a major industrial accident of the sort that explains why we have safety regulations and inspections.

is this about Greenland or Minneapolis?
How about we not get into a fight with Scandinavian soldiers in a frozen landscape. Foreign invaders trying that while going "we're bigger than you, back down" has a bad record.

I see people talk about ICE by calling them the Gestapo, and while its not hard to see the comparison; they really aught to be compared to something homegrown. Because in truth, the closest thing we can compare ICE to is to federal slave catchers. The operation is the same.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

What happened to @rachelgilmore.bsky.social is not just about CTV caving to Conservative pressures. There’s a larger issue: #cdnmedia are pushing out any female voices, voices of colour and Indigenous voices that aren’t centre-right or right. Even then there is very little representation

All governments, not just Trump’s, are complicit in devaluing education. Easy to point fingers at him. To the rest of ye legislators who set budgets & priorities: when did you last even account for inflation in estimates of what education costs?

radical acceptance gets a bad wrap for being woo-woo but it's literally the most crucial skill for distress tolerance. it's fundamentally true that you do not have control over everything in life, and learning to accept reality as it is is the first step to making peace with that and moving forward.
