I cannot express this enough: If and when the tide turns away from fascism, you cannot mistake a ceasefire for peace. They never, ever want peace. You must persecute those responsible to the ends of the earth. You must make future generations fear a repeat of their fate.

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

um actually it’s “fewer-lethal”

this counts

For the absolute last time: I *never* said I thought E.T. dressed in the wig and the dress was sexy, I said *I could see why people would think that*

bluesky bubble is the story because tech bros want it to be. i'd advise you ignore them. they don't matter. keep using whatever social media you enjoy in the way you enjoy it and don't worry what "the story" is.

When we throw up our hands and say none of it matters, we're doing the fascists’ work for them. They don't need to hide their corruption if they can convince us it's pointless to look. They don't need to silence truth-tellers if we've already decided truth is meaningless.

LA wasn't founded by the Dutch or the British. It was founded by 44 Mexican pobladores, the vast majority of whom were mestizo, Indigenous or afro mestizo. What Stephen Miller is trying to do is erase LA history. I explored this many moons ago in Guernica: www.guernicamag.com/remapping-la/

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

Third Amendment scholars, buckle up! 😂
