As a medical practitioner, where is the line? I'm supposed to discourage political discussions with clients but there is only so much redirecting I can do and I'm not going to lie when asked to provide examples of what has happened to friends and family, here and in the US.

"Any official, including the president, who chooses to blame everything from plane crashes to wildfires on non-White, non-male people should be asked whether they believe that desegregation is to blame. Whether they believe resegregation is the answer."

Bunny! nestoftangledthread.wordpress.com/2025/02/05/b... I can see why people get frustrated doing whole armies. If I had to paint layers on every single diamond of padding on an army's worth of these I'd probably go mad. Mad as a March Hare? Damn it! I should have held off till March. LOL.

Remember kids: The transphobia, homophobia, anti-immigration, racism, abelism, misogyny, authoritarianism and outright fascism weren't deal-breakers... but the instant Trump fucked with the bottom line for Ford's big business buddies, whoah nellie, just hand him a "Canada is Not For Sale" ballcap.

1/ For the people who are asking: “Where are the protests?!” There have been many! Much of them organized by immigrants rights groups and leftists. Here’s a thread of some I have found, or know people who have attended. Feel free to add your own.

Viviana Barajas: “You can, quite literally, go to the library and print ‘Know Your Rights’ flyers and hand them out at your local grocery store or post them up around your block,” she said. “You can start conversations with your children, the parents on your school board and your neighbors.”

Hi all, We’re still here at OPM. We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building. Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.

CBC's the 5th Estate is airing an episode next week featuring Valleyview's small town library and the bigotry they've been dealing with. Our local Diagolon & active club member Taylor "TJ" Kennedy is freaking out because he knows their journalists investigated him.

But I don't want to do boring homework! Whaaaaaa! nestoftangledthread.wordpress.com/2025/02/02/b... I have a plan! I mean, that plan is probably going to crash and burn and become multiple revised plans but that's how it goes. Lol.

I went to post about the National Japanese American Memorial in D.C., which is beautiful but usually missed by tourists. It is a deeply staggering admission of guilt and a warning to future Americans. I went to link to the inscriptions and- Well, they took the site down. www.nps.gov/places/japan...

When the Patriot Act was passed, libraries got requests for patrons’ borrowing history. We were prohibited from disclosing those requests. We deleted and shredded those records and stopped tracking reading history for that reason. ALSO.

They're calling it "Prebunking" and it's much more effecting than debunking. Basically, critical thinking lesson aimed at identifying misleading or outright misinformation. We need this. Badly.

Whole Foods workers in Philadelphia just accomplished something huge: they overcame Amazon's union-busting tactics and voted to form the store's first union in over four decades. Remember that we can always find hope in the labor movement.

Canada has a way for Americans seeking asylum. This is where we are. Americans fearful for their rights fleeing the country. I hate to say it, as a member of the LGBTQ community, if I was trans I’d apply. Unfortunately many can’t afford to. The time may come based on how it’s going I may apply…sad!

If you're feeling overwhelmed, it's intentional. They're calling it "flooding the zone." The intent is to overwhelm and exhaust us so we can not effectively resist. Something simple you can do right now now is to make sure to take breaks and rest.

"I can't believe he'd say that!" Really? Why not? We all told you he'd do it. He said he'd do it. This isn't a surprise and it's only a shock in the sense that a kick to the gonads is a shock. Why do you think people are so scared? Why do you think so many have killed themselves?
