* CALL * your Senators (list below) and ask them to go forward with an amnesty-for-Trump law. It will fail. It will show that neither 2/3 of the Senate nor 2/3 of the House want him to be president after having been an insurrectionist. https://www.senate.gov/senators/ #bluecrew #resist #notmypresident
When republicans call someone 'woke', they mean that they are not going to church on a regular basis to receive their weekly brainwashing. You know, the 'just believe' part? A 'woke' population is hard to control once they start thinking critically. It's why repubs want religion back in schools.
It's going to go faster than that, H5N1 is already shaping up to be as bad as COVID but only CA seems to be tracking or trying to do anything about it. Preliminary data shows it in the Midwest as well but it seems the response is nil.
It's almost like Trump rode the coattails of Obamas economy and then when covid happened he lost the election and started blaming all the problems he created on Biden.
Awh, I want them to know how much we did not vote for them and share what I find on the internet. It brings me joy that people are inspired to do this. 🥰
I sent a thank you note and reminded them sharing is caring. It would be a shame if they weee stuck on this planet cleaning it up for the foreseeable future
The truth is, we don't need those voters. They are non-thinkers, racists, misogynists, science deniers, anti-vaxxers, greedy, apathetic, selfish, deliberately ignorant, & resistant to change & growth.
Hanging out with them won't change them. Those who are willing to change will leave on their own.
I do hear you and agree that their behaviour is deplorable. But just a few years ago, for many, it was not, which points to coercive control. And you are right; hanging out with them won't work, and arguing won't work. I am suggesting that building a bridge back may help them leave "on their own."
Like I said, they chose the control. *I* chose the control. It felt good to think someone else had the helm and life wasn't random. It was nice to be around people who shared my fear of those who supported tolerance, inclusiveness, and acceptance. It's easier to condemn what you don't understand.
Even when I was the one being marginalized and excluded, I justified it by saying they wanted me to give up more of my "self" and be more like Christ, which basically meant to become less of me and more like them. I saw their rejection as a sign of my own unworthiness, blaming myself for being weak.
I made that choice, and I was the only one who could make the choice to walk away. I realized I was making excuses 20 years before I left. Nobody could have convinced me to leave one second before I was ready, and it had to be on my own terms. I had to be pushed to that line to see it.
I hear you and agree that many are willfully disgusting and deplorable and that we should not feed the monsters. At the same time, I do think it's likely necessary for us to build a bridge for those among the monsters who are confused, victimized and caught up to find their way back to us.
I'm done trying. I gave it 9 years of my life and lost all my friends, 3/4 of my family, most of my support system, and my sense of community as a result. Fuck bridges. Let them sink. I will no longer subject myself to their hate, ignorance, rage, venom, racism, misogyny, and outright stupidity.
Claiming they are victims of coercive control implies they have no choice.
I was one of them for 48 years. I deliberately ignored the truth when it conflicted with what I believed. I chose to be controlled -- even if it was subconscious at times.
Indeed! Amazing how
suddenly people you may have worked elbow to elbow with suddenly reveal themselves to be racists xenophobes. and just hateful beings.
I suppose we should be thankful to disgusting orange POS for breaking the decades long illusion. Revealing we actually live in a dystopian world.
Honestly, being Woke is the act of not being ignorant. Allowing yourself to be swept up in hate makes you just as responsible as the people who push it.
Right? Democrats need to run on a conservative republican platform. Well, more than the pro gun, anti immigration, pro genocide, pro wealthy kamala ran.
No, but we need to quit trying to convince people that men can magically become women or girls simply by thinking about it, and get back to organized labor, fair trade (not free trade) fair taxes, and government and healthcare that works. People don't have time for the BS critical theories.
Oh, that's helpful. Anyone who isn't a blue haired college professor is a republican. Got it. That is a long winded way of saying you never want to win again. And I doubt that your soft-hand self would tell me that in real life.
Reasonable democrats? So protecting trans people, eliminating racial injustice, living up to the ideals of liberty and freedom for all (aka diversity, equity, inclusion), not banning books and speech is “too far”?
The repugs never banned any books. And there is a difference between "protecting trans people" and buying in 100% to the crazy gender theory. Affirmative action can be done well, as it has in the trades, or poorly, as it has been with the various critical theories.
You definitely didn't learn anything Kampala polled way ahead in the beginning when she was at her wokest then she shifted to the right and lost the most left wing woke candidate in decades was Biden and he won the best president if all time addressed the injustices that led to the recession woke af
But the problem is the Omni-party Both sides have been completely bought by the morbidly wealthy suffering from terminal greed
Primaries are the MOST important part of the system and no-one pays attention to them Allowing easy manipulation of the "elite" so the choice is always "lesser of two evils"
???The maga republicans are banning hundreds if not thousands of books. Easily verified from multiple sources. Would suggest stop thinking left wing policies are what right wing celebrities say it is
NOBODY wants to surgically alter children.
Gender is different from sex and neither determine desire
I just always liked the sound. "Twat." It's got this snap to it. This finality to it. "Ya fuggin twat" like "twit" but "twit" feels like a fick where "twat" feels like a slap!
hope everyone learns more about logical fallacies & cognitive biases exploited by unscrupulous ultra rich 🤑 folkers to consolidate power & wealth & coerce & persuade US masses
Within the decade of the 2010s the word woke (the colloquial, passively voiced past participle of wake) obtained the meaning "politically and socially aware' among BLM activists. It has nothing to do with empathy, education, etc.
What am I suppose to be socially aware of? It's Bluesky I joined and thought all people were welcome. If a certain group has to have a separate sky, they need to explain why? And, if I'm not welcome in the separate sky, why not?
Wow.
You said that being 'woke' has nothing to do with empathy. I merely pointed out that being socially aware implies having a certain level of empathy.
My comment had nothing to do with whether or not you are welcome here.
That is completely up to you.
"Blacksky." you've gone too far. No other fkg social media (fb, X/twitter, threads, et al, have a black fb, black X/twitter, black threads. Blue sky means unity. I'm done with this bs.
Was it the anti-woke AG of Florida who couldnʻt define what the term meant and eventually had to concede (in court IIRC) that woke meant understanding that some people are systematically advantaged and acting in accordance. Something like that. Correct me if I am wrong.
Only assholes can turn a good thing like being woke (being aware of social inequities and being empathetic) into something negative. It's an upside down world we live in.
To republicans, if your woak it means you’re somewhat educated, the fascist hates education, only complete blind devotion to your cult leader is permissible. 🖕fascists.
Jesus abhorred everything MAGA stands for. It was the reason for his mission - to eradicate intolerance, hate, greed, grift, heresy, domination, injustice of every kind.
So much this! They want to tell me it is wrong *checks notes* to think that everyone is equal, and they shouldn't be treated as less because of their gender, sexuality, skin color or disabilities?
Aww,absolutely adorable bless you, I hope you're having a lovely Winter Solstice and warmest wishes for the new year blessed be to you with all my heart ❤️ 🧚♀️✨️...
If being "woke" is "bad", then paint a big graffiti style red circled-A on my favourite decade-old black worn out hooded sweatshirt, and I'll wear it with pride.
I tell people that woke is simply short for Human rights.
So when you hear Republicans talk about Woke just substitute in the sentence they use and let them tell you how they really feel and who they really are.

Trump lied when he said egg prices will come down. 😉
I know the Economic Policy changes in Deng XiaoPeng's time were effective, but I have trouble buying that we've been behind since then.
🤔
My skeptic alarm is ringing.
Moreover, outside of the psychopathic leaders, those voting against their own interests are victims of coercive control. https://bsky.app/profile/adarock.bsky.social/post/3ldq6nrifg22l

They have the same freedom to leave I had.

These reduce our ability to make sense of the world and make conscious choices for ourselves. Loss of agency is the point of undue influence.

Woke, awakened, enlightened, aware…… all the things MAGA doesn’t want anyone to be.
But WE are and we are watching.
almost everyone has a “smartele” in their pocket.
