I really need everyone to stop thinking in terms of laws and procedures and start thinking in terms of power and balance of forces. Like, yes, they intend to instruct the military to repress the people. They always did. The moves they're making are increasing the likelihood of army refusal

this should be the baseline expectation in the medical profession these orders are not laws and your job is to treat your patients to the best of your ability this is the correct response morally, legally and ethically

A friend showed up for a local mutual aid event, in person, even though they were terrified and uncomfortable. By the time it was done, they felt more connected, capable and excited. It's scary at first, but he didn't let that stop him. That's the kind of resolve that keeps me going. 💚🤎

Why connect locally? Because, if Trump and/or Musk magically disappeared today, your life wouldn't magically get easier. They are an extension of our system, not a weird one-off. Please do not focus your energy on current events unless they help you build a strategy.

In my town of +90k, my mayor had open office hours. I waited my turn, politely asked questions on city housing resources and Alternative Response Unit, then followed the answers and compared what the mayor said with those getting their hands dirty. I learned a lot, very quickly, about where I live.

Ok, I'm doing a version of this thread for 🧪 who are new to political conditions where info security is a safety issue: 1. Don't make public lists of people who are engaging in acts of resistance 2. Be weary of calls to advertise acts of subversion 3. Don't live post resistance meetings

I'm gonna log-off for the day. I've had to work through the weekend and I'm feeling TIRED. But I put in my mutual aid/power building rep by turning a thread into a ton of different mutual aid resources, ideas, proposals and guides for you to use! Now you can do your one thing today too! 😘✌️

To build the most secure politics, your life must be equal in value to disabled people, d/Deaf communities, the unhoused, queer & trans folks. If their voices aren't leading your strategies, be careful. It means you're in greater danger of falling for some serious bullshit.

A dead body was found this morning near our weekly unhoused solidarity drive / food outreach. A reminder that >10% of the unhoused in town are dying every year due to preventable causes, even under Biden. We. Are. Living. In. A. War. Do not forget the vulnerable when discussing political action.

Please do not let a fear of being wrong or inadequate get in the way of showing up. We were raised in poor political education, as were our parents & grandparents. There are so many important things you and I don't know, but that's okay. Just be humble and keep learning. You got this. <3

It is a better use of our energy to show up to these events, when possible, instead of complaining about Musk online. We are not powerless!

LRT: I hope anyone mad at me for suggesting we stop expecting feds to save us watches this video and does literally anything at all to engage with its criticisms: www.youtube.com/watch?v=33p-...

folks really need to accept that "lawful" and "lawless" don't matter, what matters is being able to marshal and deploy force (force of capital, the force of arms, the force of a crowd...) none of the people running the country right now give a good goddamn about the law

People are getting worked up about threats to vandalize Teslas coming out of Arcata, California, and reported in the Lost Coast Outpost, and like... have any of you ever been to Arcata, California? lostcoastoutpost.com/2025/feb/10/...

This will be a feed with relaxed expectations. Whatever of my own thoughts,creations, and archives I wanna share: t.me/stigfeed

It is very, very good to see @furaffinity.net initiating a town hall meeting. Just submitted my response. If you use the website, I hope you weigh in, too: www.furaffinity.net/journal/1107...
