Remember: fascism thrives on apathy.
The autocrats want you to tune out. They want to overwhelm you. They want you to give up.
Don’t give them want they want.
Stay in this fight. Remain vigilant. And let’s keep building.

Do you see the trend here?
Three wholly unqualified wealthy white men getting offered three of the most prestigious roles in government—but y'all still wanna lecture Black & brown people about "DEI & meritocracy."
Saying it again and again — every MAGA accusation is a confession.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.
We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

This is an excellent reminder. Be kind with yourself and kind with your people. It matters and it enables you to continue to do the work.
A thread about feelings stuff around Our New Political Reality™.
First of all, as always:
eat
take your meds
hydrate
tell your people you love them
let them love you back
The first three make an ENORMOUS difference in our capacity to grapple w/ All The Things; the last two are kind of The Point.

Hi! I'm a librarian in Tucson, AZ. Twitter has been giving me the vapors for a long time, so I'm here now. Here is an introduction to Bluesky that I found helpful for getting started: metricool.com/bluesky-soci.... Please share if you've found something you like better!
How to Use The Bluesky Social Media App
Twitter's co-founder Jake Dorsey has launched a decentralized, Bluesky Social, a micro-blogging app that resembles early Twitter.
