I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

When the 4 Non Blondes said “And so I wake in the morning and I step outside, and I take a deep breath and I get real high
and I scream from the top of my lungs WHAT’S GOIN ON?!”
I really felt that.

Somebody yelled at me for posting about Ganymede instead of /the state of things/ last night.
I know we’re (almost) all on the same page here, but a Bluesky without cute cats, science facts, and dumb jokes would be bad for everyone.

I know this sounds weak, I know it.
But kindness is one of the few things we carry that can make a difference for each other.
We can’t undo all this hate, but we can still make life a little easier for others.

Today, Pres. Trump gave a sweeping legal reprieve to nearly 1,600 defendants who attacked the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, including those convicted of violent crimes & seditious conspiracy.
More than 150 police officers were assaulted during that attack. Some eventually died.

The greatest act of rebellion today isn't fighting the system - it's having dinner with your family without phones. Modern warfare is won at the kitchen table.

It’s not just that the billionaires control the economy.
It’s not just that the billionaires increasingly control our political system.
It’s that these oligarchs also control the media and the information the American people receive. This is a very dangerous situation.

I’m worried that the exodus from Meta and Twitter is what they want. To isolate us from each other.
Isolation is a big part of autocracy. It makes people easier to lie to and abuse.
I don’t have a global answer, but I am working on building a social media space for our podcast listeners.

Tbh, I hate to admit it, but I KNOW I could depend on the ppl who have the crazy bumper stickers that make me uncomfortable in this kind of situation. I always think of them in one dimension, but I do think they would turn coat if their way of life was threatened as hard as ours has been.
