We're talking about the constitution that says slavery is okay as a punishment for crime, right? Same one? Maybe we should be more about protecting vulnerable people than a piece of paper :)
Defending the constitution is paramount. Against all enemies... and and all vulnerable people more than a piece of paper, yes there are overarching ideals. We people working together. There are many facets.
So yes, you think the paper that says slavery is okay as long as the state says something you did was illegal is good. Love liberals so much. Love building a coalition with you.
This is a time for tenacity. Here is the great Joni Mitchell recovered from a debilitating stroke singing Elton John’s, I’m Still Standing. It should be our unofficial anthem. 👊🏻👊🏼👊🏽👊🏾👊🏿
Fair point though the odds of another pandemic like that are low. The odds of us being conquered and genocided and losing our entire country are not as high as Ukraine.
And Taiwan. And the destabilization of the USD, the Fed being replaced with a 'crypto Reserve'. Or the many, many of us who'll lose our health insurance & be subject to pre-existing conditions. Homelessness will boom along with no social safety nets. 'Punk rock' can be maintained for only so long.
Yeah they don't get, no one gets that if the US loses its position as global leader and defender if we can't be trusted, the US dollar falls as global trade currency and our entire economic power collapses. Our standard of living will plummet.
they claim we can't afford to support Ukraine (mostly shipping old equipment from warehouses), I say we can't afford not to. To fail is to cede the world to the autocrats and either fade into obscurity or be forced into another WW or both.
Yes, absolutely. He emboldens the other right wing/fascist politicians internationally & existing ones, as well. I know someone from Finland & is concerned how Putin becoming ever more powerful will affect her country & E. European countries. Disastrous globally. And our allies are done with us.
For me this is focus internally within my walls of my house time. I will do my civic duties but my time and energy will be with my family. UNLESS I need to honor my oath again down the line.
Allison, I’m so happy you’re posting over here, too. We’ve followed each other for a long time on Twitter, so thank you for making bluesky all the better.
Cool. You know what would be Punk Rock? Demanding a
#Recount to verify if these election results are actually legit, and not just another Fascist coup attempt by Trump.
The fact this wouldn't be his first time attempting a coup in the past 4 years should trigger an automatic recount here, but sigh
When I think about the impending future, I find myself asking..... How would Jello Biafra handle this? I think I might know the answer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVcNfiRWS6U
Love you but nope. Americans have no fucking idea what they did and how to fix it. Everyone needs to buckle up, know shit is going to burn, and let the GOP destroy it all - only then will we be able to fix it.
Absolutely! Unfortunately I was in the group where I believed things would ultimately work out but after this election I have to realize what my definition of work out is not what 70+ million believe. There’s going to be a razing, and only after that cluster I believe a true renewal will happen.
Allison! Thanks so much i needed this. 2 degrees separated to Henry. Now where are my safety pins?
Happy to be able to respond to you on this platform.☀️
The statement would be stronger if there weren't some notable rightwing punkers & post-punkers like Trump-supporting Johnny Rotten, singer Exene Cervenka of X, Foo Fighter/Nirvana Krist Novaselic, and members of the Misfits; plus Johnny Ramone, Morrissey, etc.

Why aren’t we yelling, “fraud, cheating, Russian election interference,” like the other side? Especially because it’s true!
How are you doing now we are a few days gone?
Voting is not enough, that’s crystal clear.
Providing of course you
Don't mind a little
Investigation, humiliation
And if you cross your fingers
Rehabilitation
You have the right to free speech
As long as you're not
Dumb enough to actually try it
