East TX Progressives

Heyyyyyyy really awkward but I got locked out of this account for 2 months but I'm back😅👋

Bluesky has single-handedly proven that we don't need to allow hate speech and bots in order to have a successful social media platform. Meta, take note.

Friendly reminder: Shit is gonna suck the next four years, so now would be the time to invest in our communities. Enough spending hrs on social media bitching about Trump. Let's put our words into action.

Jan 20, 2025 is inauguration day. Trump will be back in office and JD "Couchfucker" Vance will be VP. We don't have to give them the attention they so desperately crave.

Anyone else participating in #InaugurationBlackout?

Thank you so much. Yes, its a hard time of year to lose someone. I am sorry for your loss as well. Hugs.

WHEN INJUSTICE BECOMES LAW RESISTANCE BECOMES DUTY

I haven't posted on here in a few days due to a death in the family and wanting to spend more time with the fam for the holidays. I haven't forgotten about y'all!

Hello, new followers!👋

Post: Freddy Mercury died of AIDS 33 years ago today. With modern medical technology, he likely would have lived. Never forget how much progress against major infectious disease has been made in a short time. We are at risk now of rolling back much of that progress.

We’re not going back.

I think it speaks volumes that right wingers criticize bluesky for being “liberal” and “left wing”, when it’s really just that hate speech isn’t allowed.

ETX Progressives supports the Black Lives Matter movement, a free Palestine, LGBTQIA people, Immigrants, women, abortion rights, and disabled folks. When fascism comes to our doors, we're going to answer. Let's fight fascism together.

SOMETHING TO KEEP YOU OFF THE LEDGE:

"If you ever get the blues about the status of American culture, there are still more public libraries than there are McDonald's. During the worst of the Depression, not one public library closed its doors."

~David McCullough

Andrew Tate:

I’M HERE

Bluesky:

No

Post by Charlotte Clymer: Every transphobic argument can basically be boiled down to: "I actually don't know the science at all or have a good argument here, but trans people challenge my long held view of the world and it's very uncomfortable and everyone should be expected to move around my discomfort."

This…this is it. In a nutshell, yes.

I forgot the alt text im sorry :(

I made this account about 26 hours ago and I already have 66 followers! Thank y'all!

Oh hell no! We have enough problems around here!

A troll’s only purpose in life is to troll you. Your anger is like oxygen to them.

When you take that away from them, they shrivel up and die.

What’s up, Bluesky! 👋

More than anything, we need community right now.

Meme of winnie the pooh frowning in top frame saying “pessimism: the world is shit, and it’s becoming worse.” The next frame is winnie the pooh in a tuxedo that says “revolutionary optimism: out of the acutely horrible world, the will to change it will be born.”

Disappointed to see Colin Allred on the list

Full list of Democrats who voted for bill that gives Trump admin more power Dozens of Democrats voted in favor of a bill that would give the Treasury secretary power to designate nonprofits "terrorist supporting organizations."

HR 9495 provides no due process or oversight, creating a tool for political retaliation under the guise of "fighting terrorism."

Trump would abuse this power to retaliate against any org that challenges his agenda.

The 52 Dems who initially supported it must reverse course.

I heard that Andrew Tate tried to come stretch his awkward wings here and got banned in just one day.

Sorry, hate has no home here. Stay in the bad place, thanks.
