A picture of Sting the musician with his hand on his chin in a red and black flannel shirt. Underneath in white writing on a green background says, ‘Sting, former front man of The Police comes out to say ‘ACAB’. underneath says ‘the ONIO’ so the maker of this meme does not get sued.

Please don’t sue me Sting or @theonion.com
I just needed to make myself laugh

‘…and that’s why you should be an anarchist.’ is the reply I want to give on so many political threads on my work bluesky but I simply cannot go that far… yet.

from the playbook

hi millennial here! I worked in labor rights policy for 6 yrs! I run a community dinner in my neighborhood. I’ve organized for youth music programs. i protest, call, write, vote. I say hi to all my neighbors. I support every org i believe in via labor or money. honey, shush. Help or die alone.

CLIFFORD THE BIG RED DOG IS RUNNING AMOK IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD!

oh.. sorry no he’s not I thought we were all just saying completely fictional things…

bless any worker who decides to come forward to figuratively nail this man as they’ve already literally nailed him.
I wish them much safety and much abundance.

is outting people violent? yes. Is this man responsible for immense amounts of violence against the lgbt community? yes. When you become a homophobic public ‘servant’ bigot that’s made a career on homophobia you give up the right to privacy.

knowing Lindsey Graham is mere moments away from finally being outted as a closeted self hating homosexual is truly the cherry on top of this hump day

my cheers is a french restaurant 🥴

and jesus christ, people don’t deserve to die because of any of this! and many people will!

less than 30 percent of people voted for him. so it’s not majority of us. a lot of people didn’t vote… why? because ‘i’m not trump’ was not a strong enough platform. bc the dems have been silently killing us too.
regardless even if it’s symbolic, hitler 2.0 here and saying something is necessary.

they could at least come out and say what is happening is horrific and bad? like trans people have become second class citizens overnight and even MORE people are being thrown in cages and medicaid and medicare are all but completely demolished which is a literal mass death warrant.

because it’s the right thing to do? because large swarths of vulnerable people are in legitimate danger and they didn’t vote for him and shouldn’t be punished. we shouldn’t have to go down with the ship because of a few evil people are in power. less than 30% of americans voted for him.

Just fyi if a cop (does not apply to ice) asks your immigration status it is illegal and you should report them, they can get fired. —in seattle from a trusted source.

Always repost

okay @aoc.bsky.social instead of just reposting this grab your colleagues and do what your constituents are demanding. Judges are salivating at the mouth for an arrest warrant.

the word you’re looking for is authoritarianism. america has been and always will be an empire (think of all our territories and military bases) and may all empires fall.
