Just watched this Olay & Friends video on the boycotts and organizing effectively. Excellent and nuanced discussion, I loved hearing from people who are knowledgeable and experienced and passionate. Olay has tons of great videos if you're looking for more discussions like this!

Couple fact checks here: Johnson is second in the line of succession, and he is sleeping in the sex dungeon

"Authoritarians hate sociology because sociology’s mandate is to dissect society and criticize systemic problems. Sociology challenges power by scientifically observing it and publicly reporting on how power works."

if you have any amount of money to help a nonbinary cancer patient (bex) with immediate shelter, food, and meds, see links below

They're not inconsistent positions at all. Conservatives just think it's worse for a child to grow up to be a happy, trans adult than it is for a man to rape and traffic women, because being a rapist is a normal, expected, natural thing for men to do, and being trans isn't. This is how they think.

NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment. Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too. His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.

They used “free speech” to hide their intentions to destroy speech. They used “DEI” to claim they were being discriminated against in order to discriminate against Black people. They used “groomers” to claim trans people were targeting children so they could target trans people *and* children.

This may be the most important thing to understand about the Trump administration. They are operating on fantasies, and governing perforce involves realities. It may also be the way we can split them, because they are operating on different fantasies.

Hard to imagine any other country wanting to depend on SpaceX services for national security needs. The US government has certainly used spare parts access as leverage but you dont see the CEO of Lockheed personally, publicly, and credibly threatening foreign leaders who use their equipment

The dollar sign changing to a cent sign really elevates this to a timeless masterpiece

i think @rokhanna.bsky.social should read this:

Radoslaw #Sikorski is the foreign minister of the government of #Poland „Be quiet, small man“ isn’t a reply you accept from a business partner, but what to expect from #fElon? #traitor

"the question is whether the American people can stand up to the potentially democracy-shattering corruption such a concentration would enable. If not, Americans should prepare to become digital subjects rather than human citizens."

repost of stephaniebrieated.bsky.social's post with alt text added: My favorite sign at the women’s march today. Oregon never disappoints!

I'll have other pics up of today's LB Tesla protest, and I'll repost & add alt text to other protester's photos I come across. But I wanted to note that today I saw a white van driving west on Spring and the ~8yo kid in the passenger seat sat up & began throwing a seig heil over & over. Yeah

i'll say it again, this thing where musk encourages people to all live communally and work 18 hour days together and bring their families and never be apart from one another? it's fucking cult shit, and the federal government shouldn't be paying for or encouraging it

It's International Women's Day. You know what you can do to make a difference? Donate to sex worker run orgs. Donate to @swopbehindbars.bsky.social so we can continue providing penpals, mentors and get basic supplies to incarcerated sex workers www.swopbehindbars.org/donate

my chill gardening afternoon interrupted by weeding out the MAHA: skipping over the seedling transplant advice from someone promoting raw milk on their blog.... not buying some little pots from a farm store also pushing seed oil as a cure-all...

I’ve had a few people ask “oh, so is disagreeing with Gavin Newsom on trans athletes a PURITY TEST?” And yes, protecting trans people from discrimination is a vital purity test. It is pathetic and disgusting how many people who claim to be Democrats are failing it.

I'm not suggesting anything, and this is a minecraft post about asymmetric tactics, but if cops will spontaneously show up at a Tesla store when a slightly more rowdy than usual friend group walks past with intent, this could potentially be useful information

Fuck yes, this is why you want them to come to your side. White women, especially older ones, have spent their whole lives being used to enforce society's rule (as they understand them). Give them the rules of kindness and in-group status and they'll whoop your ass for picking on someone weaker

Really enjoyed this article about Zelenskyy's outfit and its signaling to Ukrainian and non-Ukranian audiences

Maye Musk is going mask off over Elon's net worth shrinking. She sounds angry! I wonder if her London modeling agency Tess Management is angry too? T +44 (0) 20 7 55 77 100 F +44 (0) 20 7 55 77 101 E [email protected]

Excellent non-confrontational options like this anti-Tesla leaflet are so awesome. Love the flyer! If you want to help out, download and spread it widely. There's simple instructions, tons of informative links and resources provided by bhahne.bsky.social here: sites.google.com/site/bonhoff...

Patricia Bauman died a year ago. ActBlue is a payment processor. Almost anyone who’s given to a D candidate in the last 20 years could be mischaracterized as a “ActBlue funder.” Listing five Jews, two of whom are long dead, as “ActBlue funders” secretly behind the Tesla protests is antisemitism.

repost of @adamparkhomenko.bsky.social's post: More of this

Thousands across the nation rally at Tesla facilities for the #TeslaTakedown protesting Elon Musk, Trump and DOGE firings

My Twitter account was permanently suspended for briefly posting Elon's government email. The reason cited was "private information." Funny, Elon never had issue with libs of tiktok posts with government emails. The so called free speech absolutist strikes again.

I want to reiterate that these pickets MUST include handouts and fliers for passerbys. It's essential.

If you're thinking to yourself: huh, I actually do have too much money, don't I-- here's a sleepaway camp for queer and trans youth that could not be more lifesaving now-- and they're committed to making sure nobody is turned away for lack of funds. It's run by @ravbogard.bsky.social, mensch.

Amazon and all things Bezos boycott starts tomorrow. The dates are March 7-14 It’s a week of us keeping our coins in our pockets. We can do this y’all 💪🏾😤 www.capecodtimes.com/story/news/2...

In other news, there are plenty of #teslatakedown protests this weekend to join along with Stand Up for Science and the women's marches

The thing about Republicans isn’t only that they’re the worst fucking people in human history on every possible level, it’s that they’re so goddamn proud of it.

If HB 4130 passes, politicians—not medical professionals—would dictate how pregnancy loss is recorded and how medical language is defined. Read the full story: jessica.substack.com/p/south-caro...
