Zuck: The Average American has three friends.

Also sports bras. I don't even have to be drunk to start, and lose, a fight with one of those.

This country is a homemade truck being driven by an 8-year-old who got into the whiskey and is shouting "LALALA I CAN'T HEEEEEAR YOU LALALA" at absolutely everyone.

Having a li'l Dustbowl Sampler in Central Texas today with wind damage & grass fires & this ... #txwx

Conversations with my boyfriend when he's on a solo outdoors adventure 😆

All the GOP calls for Zelenskyy to resign are so transparent. "Oh, he should step down because he won't bend the knee to the king and Ukraine will lose if they don't have a president who will" --> "He should step down because our king wants revenge for Z's failure to lie for him in 2020."

Probably because of the country imploding around me and my focus on building community as resistance, but I have not felt Carnival season at all this year.

If you could find a way to generate electricity from Ronald Reagan spinning in his grave you'd be able to power the Eastern Seaboard right now.

I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.

I am absolutely speechless. Holy shit.

Amen.

Have I mentioned that I love Jasmine Crockett?

This entire thread ...

"Giuseppe!"

Nosferatu 2: Dosferatu

Ohhh, Henry!

Amen. Somebody get AOC, Jasmine Crockett and Elizabeth Warren whatever tf they need and then follow them into battle.

Ding ding ding! 💯

Jesus Christ.

A conversation in a liberal/progressive group over on Ye Olde Book of Faces prompted me to find this piece by @andreagrimes.bsky.social that sparked my undying admiration for her. www.damemagazine.com/2022/08/30/w...

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
