It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Cis people, it is absolutely "your lane" to help defend us. We get mad at you for talking down to us, not standing with us. Ffs.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

on the second full day of trumps administration the republicans started the process of resegregating the federal government. We don not have time to argue about things we know we have seen or heard. We must start pushing back. Now.

AOC: Trans girls are girls. And for all the folks that are so concerned, thank you for your concern for women for the first time. I don't know who has been to gym class, I’ve played co-ed sports all the time

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Just be prepared. We've all seen that headline going around today that Bluesky is the current #1 app, and X dropped out of the top 25. That means the absolute worst people in the world are going to be coming here trying to turn THIS place into just as much of a shithole. Block them. Don't engage.

Don't let fascists and fascist apologists try to cover it up and get rid of the footage. News networks have already cut away from Elon Musk's first seig heil, but it is, and will remain, burned into my brain. The effort, the grunt, the expression change. All thought out and intentional. Fuck nazis.

You’ll probably see this screenshot floating around a lot but it really was wonderful to see Lynch put a scene in Twin Peaks: The Return where he has his character literally stare at the camera and say that you should either support trans people or die. I needed to hear that in 2017

There's a lot of stereotypes about Los Angeles being a vain city where people only look out for themselves, but throughout this unspeakable tragedy I've seen that that couldn't be farther from the truth.

x X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m. Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app? If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

I think a goal of mine next year will be to focus on making smaller drawings more often. I've found big pieces with multiple subjects are fun and I love diving into them, but sometimes a simpler idea can be just as beautiful 🌻 #digitalart #supportartists #lgbtqia+ #artist #smallartists #resolutions

if you made art this year, you did well. a sketch, even if it was scrapped ; a poem, even if it was deleted — mattered. you put thought to paper, you engaged with the creative alchemy of turning feeling to something tangible. doesn't matter if you weren't productive "enough." or good "enough."
