Boycott -- all companies that enabled T, contributed huge amounts to his coffers/inauguration etc. All those companies who 'obeyed in advance' dropping DEI -- go with Costco, local farmer, your local csa, local companies for other goods and services. Go Duck Duck go, instead of Google etc.

gorgeous picture! Say, would you perhaps know? I have a friend who also is new to bluesky and she posted a picture of her cat - tho not here -- it was immediately labeled spam and blocked by the ptb. Are we only allowed to post cat pics here?

I can't see anything other than your comment - was it another cat pic? or just commenting on the one?

A friend of mine is new to bluesky and posted a picture of her cat -- it was immediately labelled as spam. No reason. I had the impression that people on here liked cats..... is there a reason this might have happened to her? What can you do in response to your post being labelled? thoughts?

Following the news about the hispanic man in Florida who voted for Trump and who is all distressed that his Venezuelan wife who was mid process getting citizenship was, as promised, speedily deported after a raid.....

I fiind it hard to be upset for him.

this kind of action should be considered criminal. who would want to serve when such retaliation placing lives at risk is considered ok?

10 ways to be prepared and grounded now that Trump has won The key to taking effective action in a Trump world is to avoid perpetuating the autocrat’s goals of fear, isolation, exhaustion and disorientation.

We are not swallowing the next four years whole, but day by day, decision by decision. Our plan:

1) Assess & listen to people on the ground;
2) Separate fear from fact;
3) Distinguish performative outrage from actual work/real solidarity;
4) Stay connected to who & what we love. Even more.

Knowing less about AI makes people more open to having it in their lives – new research People with less AI literacy often see the technology as β€˜magical’ and awe-inspiring.

Another reason to do no business with Amazon, Whole Foods or anything that lines Bezos pockets. Enough.

Don't spend any money that would like corporate coffers -- no Amazon, whole foods, facebook -- make its advertising worthless, go after any money that goes to these yahoos and dry it up. Know your farmer, go local CSA, local small businesses --- rearrange everything you do to dry up their money.
