The state relies on us creating a dichotomy between "good protesters" and "bad protesters" and it relies on a misinterpretation of nonviolence in order to get us to do it. When we resist a fascist state, we must resist the fascist state's logic.

“lol. We workout together so it’s all fine. Sorry about your rights.”
How fucking detached can you be to say this shit out loud, let alone believe it.

A lot of delusion happening in that Schumer NYT interview, but this gets to the heart of it: he believes his Republican colleagues will come around and everything will be ok. Absolutely delusional.

Bryan MacCormack, the executive director of a New York-based immigrant rights group, was pulled over by CBP with two undocumented passengers in the vehicle. He knew his rights, refused to acknowledge their "warrant", and despite CBP threatening him, the agents eventually were forced to let him go.

alright you wanna know how to support trans people?
hire them. It's REALLY hard already for visibly trans people to get jobs, even before this shit.
Support places that have trans people working front of house, and make sure owners know that's part of why you're there.

Something I keep coming back to, and has been highlighted by the recent meta and TikTok, and less recent X nonsense… is that now is the time to focus on finding and strengthening your offline community.
As an anxious introvert, I know this can be hard. But we need these connections more than ever.

this sort of naked cynicism is jarring, but you’re going to see more of it because this is how kleptocracy works. it makes groveling and sycophancy the rational choice, because it will very often be rewarded.

none of this shit matters in the slightest. they are not holding Trump or his minions accountable. Hegseth is getting through. You fuckers and your newspaper are half the useless slime that brought us here and I hope you feel the shame in your bones
FYI, folks from Bluesky. Reporters at The NYT, among other news organizations, are now generating a giant wave of accountability stories about the new Trump era. Reading these stories, sharing them, is a form of accountability as well. It is a form of participatory democracy too. Substance matters.

Cannot stop thinking about how Octavia Butler wrote a book in 1993 about climate change. It opens with deadly fires in LA in 2025. In the story, a fascist President has just won office with the campaign slogan "Make America Great Again."
She was a modern day Nostradamus. If only we'd listened.
