Here is the thing naysayers fail to understand: this is practice. Everybody gets together and throws sand in the gears of fascism for one day. Nobody has ever suggested that this is going to be the single day that changes everything. But stuff like this helps ppl organize+ prepare for larger actions

A bunch of post-left types who occupy a huge space online let their hatred of shitty Democratic foreign policy convince them of a gross fantasy that Trump would be better and it has ended up getting a lot of people killed.

Oh no, we're not going to do this whole "my activism is better than your activism" thing again. Yeet yourself in the sun if you're more interested in purity politics. Me and my friends will be over here trying to figure out how to bring more folks in.

I feel as if we're capable of acknowledging that a one-day boycott is mostly symbolic without becoming contemptuous and dismissive of people finding a little meaning and comfort in such a symbol. The scorn seems petty.

Please give me a specific quotation from Kamala Harris where she embraced identity politics while campaigning. Give me a specific example of language that Harris used that sounds like a faculty lounge.

Though it carries the undeniable problems with its genre, the gross-out teen sex comedy Eurotrip has been significant for me and my best friend. Michelle Trachtenberg brought something special to that movie, and it is just awful that she is gone too soon.

The amount of young people who became writers because of Michelle Trachtenberg and Harriet the Spy is way higher than you'd think

For me, this includes many people who vote the same way I do. I'm definitely losing something.

In occupied France, people would drop their used matches folded into a V, as a secret sign of resistance. People who opposed the Nazis would see them, knew they weren't alone, & felt emboldened to take action. Some modern day equivalents here--small but powerful actions you can absolutely do:

Literally was talking about this in class two weeks ago in explaining the Farmers Alliance vs the Grange as political party vs trade organization and how quilters don't run for office as quilters when my co-teacher said "But if Joann Fabrics goes out of business, then who knows..."

In addition to being wildly evil, firing people on these grounds is patently unconstitutional because gender identity and thus sexual orientation were found by SCOTUS to be protected in a case authored by Neil Gorsuch

We may be seeing another Lavender Scare, which was a mass dismissal of homosexuals from federal work in the 50s. EO 10450 in 53 barred homosexuals from the federal workforce and about 5,000 people were fired

I was such an AM radio boy in the 1970s and Ms. Flack's music was an utter staple of my listening. Her work--especially her duets with Donny Hathaway--taught me about a world of Black romance and care that I hadn't encountered in popular culture previously.

To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.
