Oh damn, this made my day 😆

Older artist? Jesus, my body just turned to dust and blew away

10/10, would watch

I still need to work on my dancing naked in the moonlight body

People living under fascism didn’t survive by giving up joy—they protected it.

They held onto the things fascism tried to erase: art, friendship, jokes, rituals, language, memory.

Not as escapism but as resistance. As proof they were still human.

Joy isn’t frivolous under fascism. It’s strategic.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

North Carolina's ongoing descent into authoritarianism • NC Newsline North Carolina government is no longer a functioning democratic system; it is becoming an electoral autocracy and falling prey to fascism

The thing is, NC is so heavily gerrymandered that it may be considered no longer a democracy. Look, I'm straight up broke-- I can't move. Also, I shouldn't have to. I'm fighting for my state and it really sucks to see people even here, on Bluesky, cheer for me to die for living in a "red" state.

Currently hitting up my old games, waiting for Borderlands 4 :)

Present!

Yeah, well, a whole lotta past got us to this dystopian hellscape present, so it seems relevant to study that non- existing past while trying to discern our path to a better future.

I'm just dismayed by the number of folks still gleefully drinking in the propaganda, who see all of this as a positive. I honestly can't tell if the responses justifying this mess are bots or woefully misinformed people.

Those are the normal temperatures of July and August.... in the South. We have the infrastructure for it, with most homes and businesses having AC. I can't imagine how folk who didn't grow up with that can accommodate that extreme. Iced tea, my friends.

*illegally *without congressional approval. Fix your fucking headlines, you complicit, spineless kowtowers

This is the worst collection of words I've even seen put together. My god, the trauma.

I loved Fear Street back in the day. I was more of a Christopher Pike obsessive, though

Those colors do tell lies of wonderful flavors

Oh you have to share a pic of this bag of chips 🤣

Seriously, gfy. Like folks with ADHD don't face enough discrimination. I'm treated like a suspicious criminal everytime I refill my meds. Most of us aren't looking for a high-- the meds don't even work that way for me. I just want to get through my day with less debilitating hurdles.

Why does she look exactly like Robin Wright in House of Cards???? I thought it was a bad photoshop!

The escalation continues. This is clearly what the regime wants.

Sir, no woman would select that foundation color for that skin tone. He is wearing makeup like a clown. Don't denigrate women while calling him out.

See, here's the thing: NC is *not* red. We are one of the most heavily gerrymandered states. We are purple, for sure, but not red. This is going to impact people who have been diligently fighting for this state. These blanket "oh well, they deserve it" sentiments miss the real point.

This feels a bit like asking the man who just broke into your house to be transparent about his plans to rob and murder you, but it's something, I guess

This is so brazenly out in the open that it strikes me as a major inflection point. As if things weren't already deteriorating rapidly, I think this marks an escalation for the current regime. Entering the next phase, perhaps

In the past week, a union leader has been arrested, a U.S. Rep charged with a crime, a U.S. Senator violently handcuffed, and reporters shot with rubber bullets and detained. There is no ambiguity. This is a regime operating as an authoritarian. Americans who believe in liberty must oppose it.

Say it louder for the folks in back!!! "No one is illegal on stolen land. "
