@schumer.senate.gov dont you dare cave for a pinky promise. We're way past "fool me twice" here #NoShutdown #HoldTheLine #DemSpine #Budget2025

Brazilian women, tired of street harassment, started throwing pink glitter at the men. It sticks to everything and keeps emerging for weeks. The wives, mothers, and daughters all see it and know exactly what they've done.

Let's glitterbomb ICE, so neighbors and coworkers can ID them. What think?

Trump has more felony convictions than there are trans athletes in the US.

Two bottles of Tesla liquor that together look like the Nazi SS symbol

Things that make you go hmmmmm... (I did Nazi that)

Passed my first of four classes this semester... Three to go! 👏🎉🎓

We have spent the last several decades and perhaps the last couple of generations teaching kids to avoid difficult conversations. It's not surprising that the younger generations aren't showing up to protest. How do we turn that around?

Happy new subscriber.

Always some new side of NYC we haven't seen before...

If I hear one more Democrat say that we need to push moderate candidates to get them elected, I might end up in jail. Stupidity = doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different result. Get a clue before we're all too far down the river.

New breakfast experience unlocked. I'm not much for blueberry syrup, so banana walnut. But really excellent. Now, off to do the tourist thing.

Yes. The anxiety and anger and frustration are paralyzing, which isn't helping.

From sea to sea, from Maine to Texas... Thus isn't even half of them. #50501

The road to fascism is lined with people telling you to stop overreacting.

The entire US is suffering from Bystander Syndrome. No, someone else will not do it. Make the call.

Easiest alternative is a general strike. Needs 3% of the population to have an impact. It's scattered and non-violent, so there's no one to kettle and arrest. Neighbors helping neighbors would get through it.

Damn straight.

Can we bring back stoning? No? How about ostracism in the Roman definition?

I'm doing my first ever lit review and getting lost in it. Like, what exactly is the purpose here?

Don't buy anything unnecessary. When necessary, use the Goods Unite Us app to buy from idem-leaning companies.

I'm dumbfounded anyone thought it could. Once we allowed Trump into office, all paths lead to civil war.

This resonates so well. I think it's the reason why protests have not yet become large.

This is absolute horse hockey, suggesting capitulation in the areas where it matters most. I applaud your mental gymnastics.

How many are organizing out of sight, helping put people in touch with actions and with other people? And how many are engaging in performative nonsense that saps the will to act? BlueSky, for all its joys, is rapidly becoming a place for performative anger leading to apathy for real action.

Shielding these people from the consequences of being shit human beings is how we got here. Normalizing their fee fees under the umbrella of polite behavior needs to stop. Time to call them out as nazis.

Trump is an adjudicated rapist and felon. Elon is a neo-nazi. What's happening in DC is a coup. Stop sugar coating. And how can I support DC protesters from my state?

Advanced certificate in teaching with technology from SUNY Empire

So I done finished one thing. MA Higher Ed is next on the docket. Got a course, 2 CPLs, and a capstone to go...

I love this 😍 How can those of us in faraway states support the protests at the Capitol? Any ideas?
