"Sorry I'm late. I had a lot to learn."
I love the spirit of this. I feel that it's important to welcome and include newcomers to the resistance movement. Resistance is not like the fandom of an indie band. No need to prove that we're cooler than the newbies. No need to shame or disrespect them.

Let's talk about "vice signaling."
This is a term I learned from following @kevinmkruse.bsky.social.
We've all heard of "virtue signaling," but I think it's important to talk about performative cruelty.
What are your thoughts?

Please note the term "vice signaling." This looks useful.
This administration is filled with the absolute dumbest, meanest, cruelest pieces of shit.
And they're so *proud* to be dumb, mean, cruel pieces of shit too. They delight in it. They brag about it.
It's vice signaling as a way of life.

I'm old. Medicare is one of my health insurance providers. This means that sometimes I receive email from Medicare.
Imagine my disgust at receiving an email from Medicare about mental health that includes this tagline: "Stay Healthy with Dr. Oz."

Debunking myths about Mother Rosa Parks, an icon of the Civil Rights Movement and (as we knew her growing up) a great Detroiter. 💐
Today is the 70th anniversary of Rosa Parks' arrest. Six myths: 1) She wasn't old or tired. 42 years old that day, she had a "life history of being rebellious" & had spent two decades helping to turn the Montgomery NAACP into a more activist branch alongside ED Nixon and Johnnie Carr.

Reminder: now's a good time to clear out stuff you don't use anymore. Everybody's broke & buying stuff for the holidays. Drop good stuff to thrift stores/ buy nothing/fb marketplace BEFORE the holidays hit.
It's good for climate & just being nice to each other.
