“But perhaps the greatest of these sins is convincing ourselves that posting is a form of political activism, when it is at best a coping mechanism—an individualist solution to problems that can only be solved by collective action.”
Really smart and good piece by @janus.bsky.social about steps you can take during this time to build power that are not posting

You Can’t Post Your Way Out of Fascism
Authoritarians and tech CEOs now share the same goal: to keep us locked in an eternal doomscroll instead of organizing against them, Janus Rose writes.

reminder: this is the point of the barrage of batshit appointments
if you are a tiny bit freaked out by each of them it will add up to “too freaked out to do anything about anything”
pick ONE thing at a time to be upset about, decide what action to take on it, then follow through, repeat

the 278 unbelievable things happening per day are a planned emotional DDOS attack; the shitbirds are counting on you perpetually being too glued to the latest thing to do anything about the previous thing
suggestion: pick one action to take per week, in advance, and do it no matter what news breaks

At least three lawsuits have now been filed in federal court in Washington, seeking to shut down DOGE until it complies with federal transparency rules related to governmental advisory entities.
NEW: Watchdog groups have sued the Trump admin to ensure DOGE complies with transparency laws.
The suit alleges DOGE violates the Federal Advisory Committee Act because DOGE's "meetings are held in secret and without public notice, and records and work product are not available to the public."

Did the incoming Trump admin have to disable the sex offender registry before today’s event? The sheer level of creeps concentrated in one place… I hope the staff ordered extra cocktail napkins for the women to cover their unattended drinks

Understand this: if you outlaw the million or so trans people in America, all you’ll get is a million outlaws. We will not disappear and we will not be bullied out of public life. We will fight with everything we have and until our last breath because our very identities are at stake.

To my nonbinary, agender, genderqueer, and otherwise off the binary friends & siblings: You are loved, you are valued, you are important to our community, you've been here longer than the tyrants, and you will still be here when their bones are dust and the names of their false gods are forgotten.

Y'all, I need medical treatments in the near future, and medicaid in my state doesn't cover them. I need your help affording treatments. And this is right when I'm at a point where I could glue life and fuel the channel with this new job ... but I can't get to it. I need support.

The people scouring Zillow for predatory, scumbag landlords in LA raising prices because of the fires inspired me to take a look for myself. Not only will you find people blatantly raising prices, you'll also see the ones who already got caught trying it lol.
