I'm here because there's got to be a better way forward than what we're being offered. I think places like this—reinventions of how we know online interaction should be—are likely to generate the necessary alternatives. I'm here for that!

Usually when states go to court alleging federal coercion in violation of the 10th Amendment there is not a literal video of the President doing it.

I am a former incarcerated firefighter. I served in a California fire camp from 2009 to 2012. Misinformation is afire on the internet, so here are facts about the prison firefighter program, all in one place. A thread.

MUST READ www.latimes.com/california/s... “We’ve always had fire as a companion, and it’s been our best friend,” Pyne said. And now, because we’re not minding that relationship, it’s become our worst enemy.”

Mark these words. The next 4 years will not be some easy walkover for MAGA. They don't have anything to offer the American people except scapegoating. Resistance may seem remote now, on 28 Dec 2024, but remember the lesson of Assad: Sh*t can change REAL quick.

Also, courage is contagious. I continue to stand against American fascism in the hope that others will take heart, too.

Trump. has. nothing. to offer. the American. people. Cut programs that help working people? Tariffs raising prices on everyday things? Going after immigrants & trans people, at what benefit to the communities they live in? Not going to be so easy as they think. www.vox.com/politics/392...

Biden/Harris 2020: 81,283,501 votes. Beating Trump 2024 by about 4m votes. Trump's victory is a mile wide and inches thick. The rightshift = dissatisfaction w the status quo, not an endorsement of MAGA. Good luck lowering grocery prices w tariffs, buddy. America will soon see you made it all up.

@nerd4cities.bsky.social explains how U.S. "rural self-identification" matters more than if you are actually rural or not, for everything from lifestyles to life outcomes to political views. This speaks to me, as a New Englander with plenty of rural blue around. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6q_B...

It feels like people are losing heart because of so many Democrats capitulating, so I’m going to share this video I took at the VP’s holiday party. It feels like people need to see this. Kamala Harris is not capitulating on the values that motivated her campaign.

@adamkinzinger.bsky.social this feels less like a profile in courage and more like a look back to the way politics used to be. Perhaps what you are saying is that this is the courageous way to be now? Not sure I agree, but open to listening.

Please tell your kids, every damn day if necessary, that chatGPT is not a goddamn search engine and you shouldn’t believe a word it says. Tell the adults too, but it’s especially imperative to inoculate kids against this
