Leaving social media now because of fascism in America is OK but remember that social media sites keep archives. If they want to investigate you, they won't look at your FB wall. They will request that archive from the site's HQ. How long are archives kept? Who knows.

Why did this fascist empire have to arise now? Why couldn't it have risen when I was young, in shape, good with a knife, and had a circle of criminal friends just like me? Now I have a job and family and can't have dubious friends, and my knees revolt against more than 15 stairs.

#Writer friends, when doing research, always take your notes as if you're writing them for a person who has no idea what you're talking about or why it matters--because that person will be you next year when you read the notes again.

The rebels in Star Wars never had to plan their protests around their 40 hour job, worry if they could make rent, or stop their parents from drinking bleach because Palpatine told them to. This rebellion is bullshit.

i do not think the mainstream press is equipped or capable of covering ideological white nationalists and eugenicists as such, or even capable of noting that this is what they are. it is related to the wide belief that racism is simply a matter of manners.

I've never had a trans or gay person try to recruit me, but some alt right MAGA bro wants to show me how to be a day trader, join his gym, or help me eat "right" so I won't need vaccines every fucking week.

Government workers are told to report coworkers for "anti-Christian bias." If they uphold this with gov. workers then it won't end there--and of course, "anti-Christian bias" will be anything short of blind fundamentalism. Published #writers in the #pagan community will be targeted.

It's Friday 2025-4-11. I shopped for 1 loaf of name brand bread, 1 gallon of name brand milk, 1 dozen extra large eggs, & 1 lb of 80% hamburger in Bloomington, IL. Feel free to share or add pics of these same items in your area. Doing this again next Friday.

Many Jan. 6 criminals paid restitution to help cover the costs of damages to the Capitol. Trump's Justice Department apparently thinks some of them should be reimbursed. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

I'm not convinced online activism leads to real change. We're in a bubble here. Most Americans are eating Cheetos on their sofa while watching football, haven't seen half of the news that scares us, and have no idea what we're bitching about. How can we get more news in front of the non-techy crowd?

Kid Rock dresses like a roman candle you'd buy at a gas station the last time you drove through Missouri and it turned out to be a dud on the 4th of July.

I never would have guessed accused rapist Russell Brand was a comedian. All the times I've seen him on TV and I never saw any evidence. He hides it so well.

Hands Off is planning nationwide protests April 5. I'm in favor of everyone attending a protest. However I wouldn't use their website to log in or register, and I wouldn't mark myself as attending these events on FB. If they ever get hacked or leaked, those attendance lists will be used against you.

I didn't listen to Booker's entire speech. However, the writer in me tells me that not only did he give a record breaking speech, but he likely has a best selling book on his hands. He could flip the transcript into a 99 cent Kindle book & sell millions. It would become an anti-Trump manifesto.

I'm going down a news rabbit hole and reading all the news and tech articles I've bookmarked for months. Can someone check on me in 6 hours and make sure I've eaten? Maybe bring me a pizza?

Excellent article here about fighting Trump. It's time to stop thinking in terms of traditional US two party politics or going back to normal. It's time to start fighting like rebels we see in other authoritarian regimes. www.thebulwark.com/p/how-to-thi...

Please support this project. We all have that one little aspect of resisting that we're attracted to. This one is mine. I like knowing someone is tracking these assholes.

I don't know who needs to hear this but the glue that holds the Oscar Mayer hot dog packs together makes the best fake boogers. Roll it on a dirty surface and then stick it on your nose at a party to find out who your real friends are.

We should divide ages into groups by font size. Like, I can say "I'm not that old but I have entered the 14pt Times New Roman bracket."

People keep saying "eat the rich" like it's a joke but I'm starting to think they really will wait until that's the last option before they revolt. I'd like to revolt a little sooner than the point of cannibalism.
