This! These are the protests you go to if you’re just getting started or if you haven’t protested in donkey years or if you’ve got middle-graders or older coming with you. Go during the day, wear sunscreen and a hat, carry water, carry masks, and if things feel hinky, fade. It’s all good.

In case you're not keeping track, this is the part of Star Wars that we're currently in.

Not sure why anyone believes "sitting down" will make rampaging cops leave you alone, we have miles of footage to the contrary

PSA for everyone going to protests

i think the most interesting thing this movie had to say was at the gas station, how men use the breakdown in society as a permission structure to kill and torture their peers over petty high school feuds

nonbinary people are not cis. There are masc nonbinary people. Nonbinary does not mean androgynous or woman-adjacent, or woman-lite.

you do not need to sign up for a protest you do not need to aign up for a protest you do not need to sign up for a protest people... don't put your names on a list seriously these lists and sign ups are used by authorities to arrest you easier YOU. DO NOT. NEED. TO SIGN UP. FOR PROTESTS.

I started noticing a few markers, did a bit of fact checking, and was appalled. Here's what I found:

I worked at a Baptist summer camp for a while (long damn story) and while I was there I learned one very hard truth about them: Christians who present as kind and gentle can and often do want you dead if you're queer. You bend to their order or you are destroyed. You agree that

There are only two kinds of people who actually say "Bluesky is dead": 1) NYT/WaPo talking heads who came here to say "maybe Israel should just be allowed to do a genocide" and got promptly shouted down. 2) "HitlerLover88" usernames who get no engagement because they got immediately contraptioned

if you think every voice actor is a millionaire, you are not immune to propaganda and would not survive the winter, sorry.

Americans seriously need to outgrow their “legal = moral” delusion about the way the world works. Slavery was once legal. Sodomy was once illegal. Interracial marriage was once illegal.

It's not a maybe; it's a reality. I need to find someplace else to live before December. I hate that it's come to this but I don't have anywhere else to go. Even if you can't donate, please, please repost and share. www.gofundme.com/f/help-me-av...

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her

periodic reminder to artists on here that you don't have to censor your posts by saying things like "p-site in bio" "c0mms" etc. bluesky doesn't deprioritize your posts based on keywords like that. just say "patreon." say "commissions." put the link in the post. spread your wings and be free

kill the cop inside your mind but keep the tiny osha inspector there, they do good work

yep! unpaywalled:

Don't be freaking naive and stupid! The same people who give you instructions to keep you safe such as: wear masks, don't use your personal phones, know when and how to retreat, don't talk to cops, ARE NOT GOING TO MAKE YOU SIGN UP A LIST SAYING YOUR GOING TO BE AT A PROTEST. IT'S A TRAP

Research from 2022 that every Democrat apologist should chew on: “We do not find any evidence that accommodative strategies reduce radical right support. If anything, our results suggest that they lead to more voters defecting to the radical right.“ www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

my art is imperfect, let's keep it that way. fuck AI

A panel of antivaxxers in charge of vaccine recommendations, approvals, and insurance coverage…to gatekeep vaccines from Americans. The goal has always been to take away all vaccines, and it is disgraceful that so many in the media and in power pretended it could ever be anything but that. For shame

People ran pieces about how the discipline of the movement was actually proof of a disturbing and dangerous groupthink. We got whole columns of people complaining about having to speak with official spokesmen.

Going to a Protest? Police are Watching! (🧵1/8) by Andrew Greenstone (IG: comicsareforkids) and Ysabel Riina, 2020

Get ready for every right wing talking point to get its own series of articles, all filled with analysis from Chris Rufo and reaction quotes from “ordinary New Yorkers” who just coincidentally happen to be officials in the local Republican Party.

this is the intended use of gen-AI btw in case anyone didn't know. they want 10 years of unmitigated unregulated slopfeed programs in all your electronics and the states' electronics so they can cut loose a wave of propaganda that would have made edward bernays and marshall mcluhan blush

ICE has been circling around my partner's place of employment and they've (my partner) already made a plan with their circle for bail and support as well as knowing the rights of the immigrants working at their school. It's time to do the reading, folks. 🖤

The old robber barons sucked shit too but at least we got some opera houses and colleges out of the bargain

The Wikimedia Foundation, the nonprofit organization which hosts and develops Wikipedia, has paused an experiment that showed users AI-generated summaries at the top of articles after an overwhelmingly negative reaction from the Wikipedia editors community. www.404media.co/wikipedia-pa...

"Sex Matters" twists the point of "assigned at birth" language. Sex is an assignment for everyone. For intersex people, it can be violent. But there is no "true sex" beyond a doctor looking at a baby's body and guessing. That guess may or may not align with other sex traits like chromosomes/gonads.

NEW — West coast Dept. of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) staff got an email this AM telling them how to deal with ICE protests, including working for home and wearing a disguise. "We will not retreat... this is the land of the free and home of the brave." Full text of email shared w/ me:

DING DONG!! DING DONG!!!

Re: the big No Kings protests this weekend, remember that the corporate media, politicians, etc are obviously champing at the bit to be able to force a “good protestors vs bad protestors” narrative to discredit the anti-ICE/anti-genocide movement. Do not let them. Embrace a diversity of tactics.

Won't hold my breath waiting for @tomsuozzi.bsky.social, a Glen Gove resident and former town mayor, to express outrage over this.

Israel is quickly trying to normalize a new and unimaginable form of depravity: mass-murdering aid-seekers. Al Jazeera reports at least 31 more people were killed and 200 injured by IDF drones and tanks this morning. Do not become numb to this atrocity. aje.io/535re2

"oh, this time of great suffering will produce great art" no it fucking won't, it'll mean artists spend all their creative energy on "how do I pay for food this week"
