thought this was a good post but i’m afraid i have to delete it since it is very clear that it was going to attract a thousand replies for normal people who don’t have internet brain rot

So I never did twitter and got on Blue simply because the country was falling apart….
Everything about these platforms is way above my pay grade, but I hope I need not worry too much about this. I hope there’s a logical reason at least…
Why are we limiting the response? Some Republican bullshit? Ass kissing regime strikes again? Or just overwhelming the servers?
But yeah that’s a good thing.
All I know is, the protest organizers in LA insisted that other orgs at the event avoid expressing solidarity with Palestinians. Something something comply in advance. I'm glad y'all had a good party.
"Anything that isn't immediately fixing the issue is frivolous and there is no such thing as small steps towards a better tomorrow, only leaps with groups of people who are all ideologically aligned in every way. Also my interpretation of events and motives is always 1000% correct."
Yeah that's totally what it is and not the fact that a very vocal pro Palestinian protester was just human trafficked out of the country. Everything is black and white you are so right champ.
I don't know which protest you were at, because the one *I* was at in DTLA had multiple speakers arguing passionately on behalf of Palestine in the second half. Jewish Voice for Peace, Black Lives Matter, oh and a labor organizer from Amazon.
'
I'm glad for that. I got my information from others on the ground in LA. I don't live there. Maybe it was a different protest. Sorry for spreading misinformation.
At the DC protest there were lots of people expressing solidarity with Palestine. If the 'official organizers' tried to suppress that: a) they failed; b) they can fuck right off. The only role of the organizers is to get the damn permit, and it is an important job as we hate getting kettled.
During the Biden administration I saw these fcukers wearing this t-shirt in Costco shopping with their military pensions filling their their carts with jugs of alcohol and prime steaks-literally. Never have I wanted to kill as much as I had then. Well, except maybe now.
Military pensions? All the republicucks around me get their checks from the "disability" they got at age 25 by eating deep fried mayo for every meal until their toes rotted off.
I used to live in an area that was lousy with retired military and military contractors. They still kept their buzz cuts, drove diesel trucks and exclusively wore this shirt for the day out to antagonize anyone they could.

January 20, tramp signed an executive order declaring a state of emergency at the United States southern border.
90 days after, on
April 20, Trump will constitutionally — through the Insurrection Act — be allowed to deploy the military against American civilians....also known as martial law.
He made a joke that relies on knowledge of internet culture and so many people took it seriously that he felt the need to delete it. The joke itself refers to a locked thread which is further confusing the same people who did not under the original reference.
Ten minutes ago I had no idea about the dril post or that yours existed, let alone the way it died an untimely death because it was too pure and perfect to live.
The Coup is ongoing.
Trump is locked in. Waiting for anti- Trump protests to dwindle as time passes.Then Autocracy,then he and his loyalists will quell all protests as Anti-American, then stomp them out.Authoritarian Playbook.It will up to Citizens wether they want to live under a dictator/👑
☮️
Trump, despite being "locked in," will become more scared and irrelevant with time.
He will come with more bombastic with poorly thought decisions to make our lives miserable.
Still, local and national politicians know which side of their bread is buttered, they will start listening.
At least, I hope they will start listening.
If they don't, they will not get re-elected and will lose their nice jobs.
Keep calling their offices, and mailing them letters.
Keep the pressure on them.
Protest if you can and keep pestering them.
When we crush this entire movement and take the country back, we will have approximately 5 minutes of peace after President AOC’s inauguration before someone posts “shitlibs and their identity politics president” and the cycle begins again
Kinda crazy. People have been saying something is very broken with this system since the Pre-Reagan era and these people think the system is just too fair.
Just sat at a memorial among a group of family members discussing how it will be good to shut down the government, then begin again “the right way”. One frittered away his house, the other one fighting for Disability. Wonder when things will begin to be clear to see for them.
That nearly unbeatable disinfo/propaganda machine with deep roots helped their secession from reality. One facet is the reflexive "enemy of the people" response to challenging fact. They can also draw a strawman faster than Bob Ross draws a tree & the whole tribe buys in. Need a '25 meme.
That Straw Man '21 lineup is *chef's kiss*, but the saddest thing is that the lineup for Straw Man '25 would be somehow roughly the same, just with some vaccination jokes thrown in for good measure
I wonder if there's a technical limit to the number of possible replies, and Bluesky was worried it would be breached. The maximum value for a "short integer" is 32,767, after which it "overflows" and goes negative, at which point bad things happen
Wait… whaaaaaat? I am confused AF. What’s a Wario? Explain it to me like I’ve only played Minecraft in god mode or on my laptop bc I like mining and building (digital legos!).
This is a Wario. He is Mario's opposite. He is very greedy, loves money and is generally a gross dude. Fwiw, the identity of Wario is honestly only circumstantial to my original post, which was just giving context to Jamelle's deleted tweet, which was referencing the very famous Dril tweet I posted.
I think today, right now, is the time for those jokes and this discussion. Let the folks too infected with internetosis to operate functionally as partof a mass antifascist movement go ahead and quarantine themselves so everybody else can keep working.
Is this felons reaction to the protests? Or was that about something else? I know Susie sunshine feeds him good news and pix of himself. But even though he’s out golfing, he must get some idea that things are happening? He cannot come close to completing a sentence, a full thought. Help us!!
Dipshit got elected by people just following the crowd, but too stupid to realize that(even if that were true of this crowd) it's a force to be reckoned with
Kind of a nice methodology though. “People of the internet, here is a post. If you don’t get it, you’re good, all is fine, you are mentally healthier than the poster and the rest of us”
So Bluesky moderated it for having too many replies? Am I understanding correctly? I am pre-coffee so forgive me for likely needing clarification on what may be obvious.
Its referencing a dril tweet but it was so unclear a lot of people got hit with the immediate shock/adrenaline that it may have happened so he deleted it.
You report it as you see it in profoundly insightful, engaging ways. And yesterday was an inspirational day for Hands Off. It's no surprise you received so many replies.
I wrote an explanatory post for FB earlier today about how the SAVE act is another tool to suppress voters, interfere in elections. And they not only removed my post but told me off like I'm a naughty kid. I am a senior and may have learned some things along the way.
I'm now understanding that everyone in the room is younger than me and you're using language my kids and grandkids have used. And I understand colloquy perfectly. Thanks for the explanation.
Just might be my take on current events but I have two family members I've completely cut off due to their politics - I know how lots of people must have felt in the 1930s, seeing their family members succumb to national socialism.
As a senior who mistakenly posted a story meant for Instagram on FB, here’s a partial response I got from a MAGA “friend.” She has since blocked me. They’re such snowflakes….
Sadly she believes this gaslit sh*t. If the felon is anything, he’s a “monster.”
Fellow senior here and I hear you. These gen x kids are annoying as hell if you make a mistake like that. Yet, these are the same kids who can't read or spell and are grammar-challenged. And they're losing their jobs left and right. I wish they had paid more attention to education than SM.
My dear friend, I’m going through a very challenging time, and I need your assistance. Your donation and sharing my story will have a significant effect on our lives. These times are hard, and any help from you will make a difference. Thank you for your priceless support.❤️😥🫂
If it only takes 3.5% of fully committed people in any population to completely overturn a system, Trump is almost halfway to being kicked offstage, after only 10 weeks.
Some kinda record for the guy who is best at everything.
if it's any consolation, my friend in academia who teaches/studies this shit says that one of the strong predictors of reversing a backslide into autocracy is economic collapse under the regime 🤷♀️
I mean, I think that's what she said. Something like that...

Was it locked or was their platform overwhelmed. It kept spinning yesterday quite awhile when I tried to get on the platform. Any clarity from admin?
Somehow I interpreted this as saying the thread was the way people were self-mobilizing against fascism, and I was worried you were suffering from clinically terminally online
Over 2000 protestors line U.S. 41 in Fort Myers on Saturday, April 5, 2025 during the Hands Off protest. They are protesting policies instituted by President Donald Trump.

...here we are answering the call. In a red county in a red state. Believe!!
Still thinking about what you said on woke being the glue holding society together. You’re right, and the stake on wokeness goes with the attack on taxes—wealthy people have HATED their involvement in the nation for a long time and are trying to end it / remake it to something they like.
The oligarchs better wake up. An armed America will not allow what Trump is doing to continue. If it gets to violence, which is the direction in which we are headed, it won't stop with just Republican pols.
And I am NOT advocating violence. I just don't see how it will be avoided.
All those people who were marching around with their little pocket copies of the US Constitution during Democratic administrations. Where'd they all go?
Oh yeah, they've lined up for Tyranny as long as it's their guy in charge.
This is the one thing I find ironic. The right has spent years defending the right to bear arms. Fighting gun control laws. Why did they ever think that was a good idea? You would have to be extremely confident that your base wouldn't roll over. I still think they will at a point.
I think it would be a mistake to assume that there aren't just as many gun owners who don't identify as "right". More than right wing owners. By nature, they aren't as prone to violence, but still very capable of being violent if they feel desperate.
Sssshhhh let them make that mistake. The weaker they think their opponent is, the better. Only because they are going to plow ahead regardless. It might as well throw them for a loop when they under estimate.
A lot of online-only-leftists don't understand the steps needed to make ANY of these things happen, on ANY LEVEL. You can usually tell based on whether or not they think harm mitigation is an acceptable outcome.
Which is bonkers cause they SHOULD know better but ya know, they don't.
The "online-only-leftists" are just as out of touch with reality as MAGA is but for different reasons. Or maybe the same reasons? They're so far left they've come back right again.
I think it's mostly that, when online, everyone is your enemy cause it's incredibly hard to associate a random sreen name with a person, doubly so when you believe your cause is absolutely morally perfect. In person, you learn that activism has to be coached and sometimes coated to, ya know, work.
Basically it's real easy to talk up Communism when you're only talking about the ideological ideals of it vs the Capitalism reality, it becomes a hell of a lot more "Real" when you have to persuade people in person who will openly ask questions in person, swap the C for any issue you see fit really.
This isn't helped by things like word limits, lack of body language, the general lack of nuance online overall, etc. Getting big ideas sold takes a lot of time and words, but when you have 300 or less characters it's simply easier to do dunks and not do activism.
Are these the same people who complain that they never hear from their Democratic Representatives? Where are the politicians? Why aren't they complaining?
I’m OK with them showing up if they’re OK calling out their Republican colleagues by name and accusing them of enabling the Autocrats of the globe to take over the nukes to oppress the entire globe.
When millions of people mobilize against fascism, it reflects a collective stand for democracy, freedom, and human rights. History has shown that mass mobilizations lead to social and political change, the effectiveness of these movements depend on if they remain peaceful and constructive.
History shows many examples of resistance movements where violence played a role in challenging oppressive systems. Power structures defend themselves fiercely. The idea of peaceful resistance is a long game, where victories come slowly, through moral pressure, rather than decisive immediate change.
there are powerful examples where peaceful actions have achieved transformative change—think of leaders like Gandhi or Martin Luther King Jr., whose philosophies of non-violence inspired monumental shifts in society.
That’s also US propaganda - it wasn’t MLKs peacefulness.
It was more Muhammad Xs by any means necessary that drove change here.
It was the riots. It was the economic upheaval.
But the press has always been complicit to power here - so you think black folk asked nicely

The people who voted for Donald Trump are still there, and haven't changed their minds about anything, really
I've been arguing with people who think government breakdown would be a good thing for decades now, and they aren't going away
- Plandemic
- The Fauci Ouchies
- The Fifteen-Minute City
- Q and the Anons
- 5G Towers
- Ivermectin

Jamelle: lacking internet brain rot is a good thing, no?
I will NEVER understand what the maga cult followers see in him
I’m sure he’s way better now.
🫠
Why do the dems have to reject the “lawlessness” that the MAGAs used to steal our democracy? Fuck them, take it back!
Dem leader should already be talking pardons for everyone.
Who is Wario?
Mario’s Country Cousin?
Thanks for not making fun and helping, instead.♥️
In any case they weren’t saying you are bad; they’re saying you’re inherently making a mistake by posting to Facebook.
Sadly she believes this gaslit sh*t. If the felon is anything, he’s a “monster.”
Is it sarcasm? A real complaint against the mods of Bluesky?
Some kinda record for the guy who is best at everything.
And he only blew up the stock market last week.
and he is FIXATED on tariffs. one of about three ideas he actually believes in and won't let go of.
I mean, I think that's what she said. Something like that...
It’s a failure of eduction and media that they did not know how much all of those things depend on smart woke people.

we've only got 7 here in America
the next big protest is less than 2 weeks away.
Can you please spread the word before it happens?
April 19th
The 250th anniversary of the start of the American revolution ;)

And I am NOT advocating violence. I just don't see how it will be avoided.
Oh yeah, they've lined up for Tyranny as long as it's their guy in charge.
There are people upset that the organizers talked to cops beforehand, and that the cops behaved themselves.
Which is bonkers cause they SHOULD know better but ya know, they don't.
So this doesn’t really track.
Power rarely cedes without violence
Also both of those men were killed so the outcome is the same.
Change will not occur without violence. The system now is built on violence and that’s what it will take to destroy it.
That’s also US propaganda - it wasn’t MLKs peacefulness.
It was more Muhammad Xs by any means necessary that drove change here.
