TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

The Regime's goal is to grind everyone down. Plain & simple. Our goal is to refuse this by taking turns to fight where and how we can. When one group needs to bow out, then another group needs to step in and so on. We don't all have to do everything. We can all do something though. Stay in the fight

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

The reason we're releasing this in theatres is because it's incredibly fun to watch in a room full of people. People lose their minds at it. We want people to watch it together.
So! Do you run or know somebody who runs an indie theatre?
If so, contact us, and we'll let you screen it for free.

“The people who got us here are not the ones who are going to get us out of this.”
The people who continue to cave, hide & do nothing have shown who they are. Act accordingly.

In North Carolina right now the Democrat running for Senate - in a state Trump won *three times* (I hate it too) - is leading by 6-8 points.
'Oh, but they'll cancel elections' - then force them to cancel elections and radicalize the normies and then march with the radicalized normies.

On the topic of “our” duty to persuade abusers, a tale:
——
THE FINGER-TAKER’S SON
Whenever the king became displeased with one of his subjects, he would send out his soldiers, and before long the offender would find themselves in the basement of the king’s finger-taker.

Sesame Street will be putting a huge collection of episodes on YouTube starting in January 2026
This is a fantastic way to educate children
It’s a form of resistance.
Shows like Sesame Street teach love, tolerance, acceptance & more.
These lessons are crucial for the long fight ahead.

Why are Christian extremists always looking at everything through a lens of sex rather than love?
Christian extremists in LA raise a stink over a kid's book. Why? It's "pornographic." Because it says some kids have two mommies. Well LA school board president Goldberg has a few choice words about =that=.
Wow. Just wow. Madam President, take a bow. 💐💐💐 #lgbtqia+

"The Republican Party wants to pull YOUR teenage daughter's pants down in the middle of gym class if they think she's too good at lacrosse, this is vile and depraved and only the start of their intrusive government overreach" should be the party line and I don't think it's a heavy lift
why do transphobes have a fucking monopoly on "having some concerns about fairness", can i have a concern about the fairness of normalizing kids getting their genitals inspected by strange adults for reasons entirely unrelated to health or hygiene as a prerequisite for peewee soccer?

🔥 The Veteran Sit-In at Union Station is already breaking the regime’s grip. The Guard was posted there EVERY day—until today. Why? Because fearless vets schooled them: you don’t have to obey unlawful orders. You have a CHOICE. And today, they chose not to stand against the people.
