I hate being right.

It won't be just the LA Times and Washington Post. It will be your employer, your university, your school district, and your local elected officials. They will all cave and engage in anticipatory obedience to fascism because of their cowardice and greed.

Your institutions will not save you.

I hate that you were right. And I hate that it’s happening faster than I thought. Weeks instead of months. Thanks for all you do.

This is the time to get out the spray cans and graffiti the forbidden words as large as possible all over the institutions. And yell them from megaphones. They may take these "forbidden" words out of websites and documents, but keep on using them as much as possible, openly, any way you can.

I hate to say not only are you right but, to expand upon that. They'll be the first to shove you under the bus so it can roll over you. Just to pretend they didn't to other future victims.

Our tax dollars will be used to get them to do what they want🙄🤦🏽‍♀️🤬🤬

This same thing happened with the *ongoing* pandemic to the disabled, elderly, and immune compromised. People waking up and caring bc it’s finally affecting them personally.

There is a much more innocuous explanation for why elected officials aren't resisting:

?!?!?

keeganc15.bsky.social•10 days ago

Was that a response to me ?

stuntlover.bsky.social•10 days ago

absolutely

keeganc15.bsky.social•10 days ago

Yeah I was asking if something specific and new had occurred what’s the issue with that ? I was asking for clarification.

houndgirl.bsky.social•10 days ago

It's all right there~ conform or resist.

Resisting is so important& people need 2 get used 2 practicing acts of disobedience.The anarchist is fascinating,but I think a lot can b found reading up on that mentality.

That said if the orange isn't stopped I expect WW3 and civil war~correct me if wrong

sibylpastry.bsky.social•10 days ago

nono you're right. not even a month into office and trump cut off all our closest allies immediately. The chance for ww3 have literally never been higher, I just hope other countries keep standing up to america.

houndgirl.bsky.social•10 days ago

They need to.

First it's Greenland than it's Denmark next its Africa~ people said "they wouldn't do that" when Roe fell then again when Chevron fell...

Now? People are saying "that won't happen" to which the response should be "you said that before look where we are now it absolutely will happen"
