“Live to see them die” is a powerful motivator

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.

Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

January 20, 2025: Thinking about MLK Jr, James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner, Fannie Lou Hamer, Malcom X, Freedom Riders, Ella Baker, Bayard Rustin, John Lewis, Rosa Parks, Julian Bond, the heroic members of SNCC…

I was there! Can confirm epic chill AND joy.

Deep cut! Well done.

Whoever needs it: You got this. You’re doing your best & things are going to be ok. Holidays can suck, keep your head held high. You deserve love & respect. You don’t need to “do” anything to “earn” dignity, equality & acceptance. You are enough. Be kind to & take care of yourself. ❤️

It’s definitely on pause, if not out of juice entirely.

Not an enthusiast myself but recreational cannabis upscale shops w/ exquisitely fancy packaging are kind of mind boggling. I was thinking, “Man, if only my h.s. “stoner” school friends could see this they’d be amazed. Then I realize: Wait. My old stoner classmates are my age. They know about this.”

@mrdavehill.bsky.social Ahem, you have a prodigy:

Fuuuuuuuuuuckkkkkkkk

Obviously inevitable after the election, but today is a bummer. #JackSmith was carrying a lot of people’s hope for the arc of the moral universe to bend toward justice like, now.

And Shitler’s probably gonna make 4pm sunsets permanent.

Elie Wiesel knew what he was talking about.

Introduce yourself with your worst feedback from school 👇
I’m Mike and I should spend less time socializing with my neighbors and more time on my school work.

True. Pass it on!

Hear, hear.

Perspective from the great @georgetakei.bsky.social

I’m telling my Gen Z students this was Dexy’s Midnight Runners.

@bmeiselas.bsky.social: I do gotta say, congrats to QAnon, I guess. What a run you guys had, from going after the Deep State and the shadowy billionaires and the child sex traffickers to putting those people in power. You got Trump—Jeffrey Epstein's best friend—going to be president, Matt Gaetz...

Great! I’ve been fortunate enough to see Jorma / Hot Tuna live a few times and it is always such a joy! #furpeace

I looked at The Vichy Times - I mean @nytimes today, On the “front page”of the app, one of the most prominent articles was about how the rapist felon facist has a signature ‘dance’ & that people are copying it. Servile, obedient, obsequious, satan’s minion, good pig, NYTimes; have a treat now.

I just reread #GeorgeOrwell ‘s 1984; felt like I was reading an American diary from 2026

#OctaviaEButler ‘s genius has been overlooked for decades. Parable Of The Sower is amazing and a must read right now.

Easy action to take right now

Brilliant idea. Block the hate
