Just getting through The Slow Apocalypse™, like everyone else.

Started life in a San Francisco commune in the height of the 60’s. Raised by social activists, beat poets, drag queens.

Now just a boring web developer living with a husband & t̶w̶o̶ five cats.
It’s not good, but not ALL bad.

“…the way she structured the stay means that she was able to try to control timing of the Supreme Court’s (forthcoming) review—and to create pressure for it to happen faster than it otherwise might have.”

190. SNAP WTF?
A very quick explainer on what (and why) Justice Jackson issued an "administrative stay" in the SNAP case late on Friday night, and on what's likely to happen next

It’s time to call the Supreme Court for what it is: Trump’s Supreme Court

The human misery and massive death toll that came from ending USAID was entirely predictable. Elon Musk relied on conspiracy nuts rather than employees and development specialists. Rubio, who previously defended the agency knew what would happen. They chose this. open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...

That’s who will do the underhanded, illegal things they want to do. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Of course. I never thought this conversation was about people who anticipate that.

Yes, absolutely!

I get it. That’s the point of @leavingmaga.bsky.social , though. They’re doing the work and helping people do the work.

These are people who are *leaving* the group that supports Nazism. They’re acknowledging that it was a mistake.

The Trump campaign has used powerful propaganda to suck in a lot of people, manipulating them, using their insecurities against them. These are those people, realizing that.

Watch some of the videos. These people say exactly what they believed and why, including owning up to their own racism and bigotry.

We want people to learn, grow, and change, right? This is what we need.

Agreed, but to get the attention of more people, this framing also helps.

My first reply was saying that the people in @leavingmaga.bsky.social who have *left* MAGA have done the things you mention. Watch some of their videos. They own up. It’s good to see. 😊

Do you mean where @leavingmaga.bsky.social said people have trouble leaving because of “fear of censure,” and you’re saying that’s “virtue signaling” because they’re not fearless?

It’s a process. This group is about helping people get out of a cult. We can’t expect them to pop out magically.

It’s this thread about people leaving MAGA.
