A small but concrete task for today:

Sameer Project told us on 12/25 that it costs $38 for 1 blanket, which can help keep a family that is in their 3rd winter in genocide (😢) warm.

Can anyone join us today in donating the cost of one blanket to Sameer? Can you get 1 other person to join you?

You can do a lot locally with a dedicated group of 15 to 40 people. Regular people should be thinking at that scale rather than at the scale of thousands.

this is a good reminder of how things that are shitty but have been accepted as normal and inevitable can actually turn out to be abnormal and evitable with some science, time, education and political will

A lot of people are sick right now.

Flu and Covid are raging, but the good news is a well fitted respirator can prevent both!

A good mask like an N95 is very effective at stopping flu and Covid.

My article looks at how to choose one, how to fit test, where to buy & more.

Mask up & save lives!
We’re Witnessing the Fall of Public Health… and Your Best Tool is a Mask
Measles in Texas, bird flu in Louisiana, tuberculosis in Kansas and Covid everywhere. Public health has been dying a slow death for years, we can’t count on it anymore. What can we count on? A mask!

Most debates/comments about blocking, muting, and reply settings on this app are about boundaries and the basis for setting them

Women of color setting boundaries to reduce harassment are not the same as white dudes setting boundaries so they don’t get called out on racism or sexism

“It doesn’t matter if you’re minding your business, fighting back, or hiding somewhere quietly—tyranny comes for everyone.”

Columnist @williamcson.bsky.social rejects the fear-motivated calls for obedience to President Trump's police occupation of Washington, D.C. No, you cannot hide from fascism.
Another way out: Hiding and obedience won't stop fascism
By being obedient to the point of giving up all self-determination, we’re poised to return to what many before us fought to overturn

Article 1, Section 9 & 10 have been removed from the official Govt website on the US Constitution. Among numerous points:
•Section 9 forbids suspending The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus
•Section 10 forbids ex post facto laws

This better be a joke. Ignoring these is full blow dictatorship
