Friends, I know you're excited to try protesting, but under no circumstances should you ever sign up to attend one. I'm suspicious of any org asking people to put their name on a list that is easily accessible via warrant or may even be public. You can just show up day of.

The Signal chat carries intense governance by cosplay vibes. Not hugely different to the orders my teens shout at friends while gaming. I’m not trying to be cute, it actually freaks me out. Feels like the gov version of plastic surgery to look like mannequins designed to look like beautiful people.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

Stop disability benefit cuts

Please sign & share to stop the cuts to disability benefits this labour government is proposing. This will literally make some peoples lives untenavle if they go ahead. My friend who would no longer be able to afford the absolute basics is having panic attacks action.sense.org.uk/page/167765/...

Greenpeace ordered to pay Dakota Access Pipeline operator hundreds of millions in defamation suit A North Dakota jury awarded damages to Energy Transfer, the company that runs the Dakota Access Pipeline, after finding Greenpeace liable in a high-stakes defamation case.

The decision regarding Energy Transfer v Greenpeace about the activism against the Dakota Access Pipeline is out. Not only will the decision likely bankrupt Greenpeace US, but it will set a precedent that could limit free speech by climate groups & other NGOs.

“Every cruel and destructive action by the Trump Administration is a recruiting opportunity for the opposition” & other observations of the inevitable imperfections on the way to being collectively powerful in the face of fascism. 🙏 @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social for this. And the magnolias 🌺

The fact they sold this gear at a loss to start with should have been a bit of a sign… no such thing as an echo without feedback….

I've warned techtonic.fm listeners for over 7 years that this was going to happen.

Reading this is like watching a period drama that uncannily echos the news feeds on y/our phone.History repeats & violence by powerful men is a horribly consistent fact. Tho there were times when women had it better. Highly recommended. Normal Women 900 yrs of History in t Making by Philippa Gregory
