Quick reminder that ICE agents are abducting people off the streets.
No matter how many videos of this we see, it should NEVER feel normal. Be outraged. Take action peacefully and effectively. Here's a good article on some ideas to do that: thewhitepages.net/p/thirty-lon...

Thirty lonely but beautiful actions you can take right now which probably won't magically catalyze a mass movement against Trump but that are still wildly important
Why? Because others will see you do them, and it will make it easier for them to take their own (slightly less lonely but equally beautiful) action by your side

Game 2 today!! I fully believe our enjoyment of sports is in some part about finding that a narrative for overcoming difficulty in our lives. It’s the reason I became a #Cubs fan as a kid. youtu.be/d721m7EEif8?...

I don't watch Jimmy Kimmel on the regular, but this was such a great follow up to the events of the last few weeks, starting with his emotional response to the murder of Charlie Kirk at about 6:30 into the video. youtu.be/c1tjh_ZO_tY?...

Charlie Kirk had horrible views on society, politics, and morality. And people whose views we find abhorrent do not deserve to be shot.
We can say the first part without implying disagreement with the second part.

It is too easy to get guns in this country. Full stop. Republican red herrings after every one of these school shootings betrays a moral weakness that refuses to deal with the problem right in front of us.

Trump is defunding the police after getting voted in to office by voters who wanted him to do the opposite. Trump is empowering the federal government in ways that are entirely contrary to what those voters wanted. What a turn of events. youtu.be/MR0_RIK5Sw8?...

While I want to stay informed about the shitshow that is going to be the next four years, I am going to have to start rebuilding my feed to exclude much of the political posts. For me, it’s truly maddening (and rage-inducing!).

Trying to figure out how to make sure #Bluesky doesn’t turn into the scrolling death feed that I ended up with on TwitX. Just a couple days back here again and following fellow resisters I’ve realized that my mental health is taking a blow.
I’ll let y’all know what I figure out.

I don't know if we'll ever get a complete answer to this, but it is THE question I can't shake.
I will never understand how a billionaire, the richest man on Earth, spent millions to buy an election for ANOTHER billionaire, and told us that his policies would cause all of us non-billionaires “temporary hardship...”
...and the public didn't tell BOTH OF THEM to fuck off.

So the first thing the new Administrator for the Environmental PROTECTION Agency says is, not something about protecting the environment, but about "dominance". Not a good start, but not surprising either.
