Just a fox, in her human form, trying to resist the dangerous roll of dictatorship in her country.

Minnesotan. Spoonie. Cancer Survivor. Part Terminator thanks to Long Covid and her needed Spinal Cord Stimulator. Gamer. Furmom.

For any that wish to know, I'm brand spankin new here. I'm aiming to join forces with my local Midwest and Minnesota citizens, to generally cause a ruckus, to join the rebellion in fighting off the impending Oligarchy Dictatorship nightmare that's arriving, this year, in the US.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

TODAY WE MOBILIZED OVER 3 MILLION PEOPLE ACROSS THE NATION!!!

This movement has entered the next chapter: the people will mobilize again, and again, until we make a difference.

It only takes 3.5% of the population in a sustained resistance in order to make a difference.

Yesterday was incredible. The official count is in — 5.2 million people joined the #HandsOff protest nationwide. So many are asking: what’s next? Mark your calendars: 4/19 is the next nationwide day of protest.

From one day to the next, children separated from their routine and care. Parents without child care. This is cruel and irresponsible.

Second death of a child in Texas. You can firmly blame this on RFK Jr. who continues to claim there are risks to vaccines, AND on Trump who put this crackpot in a position of power over our healthcare.

A Second Child Dies of Measles in Texas
It is the second confirmed measles death in the U.S. in a decade. If the outbreak continues at the current pace, the nation may lose its “elimination” status.

Anonymous, if you’re listening…

Please hack Fox News and disable them for at least 3 months.

We will have a new country if you do.

Thank you…

Signed, Sane America 😎✨

We’re building a #PeoplesMovement.

Today, over 3 million people across the country stood up to say HANDS OFF our democracy.

And history shows that when just 3.5% of the population engages in sustained, peaceful resistance—transformative change is inevitable.

Trump’s attack on Title X funding is an attack on women, health care, and vulnerable people.

I'm joining the @reprocaucus.bsky.social & @demwomencaucus.bsky.social demanding Secretary Kennedy restore these funds & services that millions of our constituents depend on.

🚨UPDATE: Rümeysa Öztürk has now suffered three separate asthma attacks while in DHS custody.

She has not received her required asthma medications—a violation of her fundamental right to medical care.

This is cruelty, it is neglect, and it is a damning moral and legal failure.
Pressley, Warren, Markey Sound Alarm on Rümeysa Öztürk’s Medical Neglect, Renew Urgent Calls for Her Release (1/2): “It is unconscionable that Rümeysa Öztürk—a young woman pursuing her education, exercising her First Amendment rights, and contributing to her community—remains detained by DHS. Her ongoing incarceration is not only a blatant violation of her constitutional rights to due process and free speech, but it is now an egregious denial of her fundamental right to medical care. Pressley, Warren, Markey Sound Alarm on Rümeysa Öztürk’s Medical Neglect, Renew Urgent Calls for Her Release (2/2): “According to her lawyer, Rümeysa has not received her required asthma medications and has now suffered three separate asthma attacks while in custody. This is cruelty, it is neglect, and it is a damning moral and legal failure. “As her representatives in Congress, we demand DHS immediately provide Rümeysa with access to the health care she needs, and absent compelling evidence justifying her detention and the revocation of her status, we call for Ozturk’s release and the restoration of her visa. Every minute she remains in custody is another minute her health and rights are at risk, and DHS must move with urgency.”

Hell, you can go to your Bluesky settings and make it force you to put alt text on your images and videos. It’s really not that difficult to add a short description of the photos or videos you post.

See the provided example on this post.
A screenshot of the Accessibility section of Bluesky settings, specifically the portion dedicated to alt text (there's a meta joke in there somewhere). There are two options with on/off switches; the first, which reads “Require alt text before posting” is set to “On”, and the second, which reads “Display larger alt text badges” is set to “Off”.

🚨Reminder: Pls include #AltText on images. It's so very important to include us all.

Please use ALT text on your protest photos.

Disabled people are left out of non-disabled activism. Accommodations are not made. Intersectionality does not apply. We aren’t invited to participate. We have to fight for ourselves.

Leaving ALT off your images leaves disabled people out yet again.

48 years ago the Section 504 sit-ins took place fighting for federal enforcement of disability discrimination laws.

Today I reminded a community of folks with long covid & me/cfs that we may need to “take similar actions.”
#HandsOff

www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Mother Jones DONATE Marie Follayttar, a longtime organizer in Maine who is disabled by Long Covid and cancer, talked on the Long Covid call about how the Hands Off protests were taking place on the 48th anniversary of the start of what became known as the Section 504 sit-ins, a landmark series of protests urging enforcement of a federal law advancing disability rights. Follayttar noted that Section 504 is at risk today from a lawsuit from 17 Republican Attorneys General. "There may come a time where we will have to take similar action and find ways to mobilize to make sure that we are seen," Follayttar said. "We know we have to teach everyone how to include us."

Remember the task now is to disseminate the images of the protests to people who didn’t see them and project a sense of their size and significance. Huge numbers of people turned out today, let’s make their dedication count!
