There has been a lot of chatter today about Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump, some regarding this moment when White House correspondent Brian Glenn asked if the Ukrainian president plans to wear a suit. I want to address idea in this thread. 🧵

One thing that helps you to reclaim your time is to not discuss strategy with people who never take any action. Save your breath, preserve your energies, and watch a Hallmark movie instead.

The Bob Dylan movie starting with Pete Seeger at Woodie Guthrie's death bed kind of feels like starting the Avengers movies by watching Infinity war.

Anyone could have told you they were planning to feed all of those emails to AI. What else were they going to do? Read the millions of emails they demanded? I don't think anyone believed the DOGE twerps were going to do that. People need to be cognizant of the AI end game for this whole project.

At times of collapse, lots of people point to organizations they never actually support financially to pick up the slack. That can't work.

The lack of statements & actions by previous Presidents (both D and R) will never stop being wild. Kamala completely dropped off public radar. If the US somehow ends up having free & fair elections again, these "leaders" staying silent better not even think of running in primaries.

Getting blocked by libs for calling MAGA politicians fascists is fun. This is fun. The fall of democracy is fun. We're fucked.

My city council member once was an open nazi, reccomending the Elders of Zion as reading for his voters. My mayor called him "a good person ultimately doing the same as us, making the community better" NO THEY'RE NOT. THEY ARE FASCISTS. FFS.

I'm making the point that Tr*mp is actually UNPOPULAR and if there were an ACTUAL opposition party [which some of you argued with me in my mentions for 2 days & cried when I said there is no opposition party in the U.S.] he would be even more unpopular.

"Men will spend years complaining about the fact that their wives left, and shouldn’t have been able to. They’ve politicized this, trying to prevent women from leaving by codifying no-fault divorce laws. If you have to legally force someone to have a relationship with you, maybe you’re the problem."

The quickest way to a man’s heart is to insert a needle between the xiphoid process and left costal margin at a 15-to-30-degree angle, directed towards the left shoulder

A bunch of folks came out last Saturday in pdx and wrote a gigantic stack of messages of care and solidarity to political prisoners for valentines day <3 I made this little cartoon from how sweet it was.

it's a shame that the left rallied so hard against any insinuation of foreign infiltration in critical US government operation, because there's a pretty cogent case to be made that that is at the heart of what is happening

When I say that an action like boycotting or shareholder targeting needs to be organized and consistent, I mean it can't just be random people making fliers and demands. A group of people need to get together to think through an actual strategy for how to make a significant impact.

So the guy who stole and took home rooms full of top secret government documents to comb through them and sell the good stuff to the Russians, is now President and flipping sides in the Ukranian war? And we don't just say that he's a Russian asset?

The same lawmakers who called folks terrorists when they protested the last two times and armed the police hoping could never happen again, are telling us they can't do anything unless we protest extra special hard? Get real.

I will call it the Willis Tower before I call it the Gulf of America

The parts about Drake are important. Historically men protect creepy predator men. Normalizing the behavior of making creepy men your eternal op is culture changing in an incredibly positive way. We need to take Kendricks beef with Drake to heart and apply it to our own lives. Never let up.

So fucking tired of this framing that billionaires are "folding" to Trump, rather than using Trump to do exactly what they've always wanted to do, which is why they spent billions of dollars to get him elected, this shit is so easy, these are slam dunks, Im begging people

The city wants tow cars with expired tags parked in public spaces. This means: ❌ Struggling families losing their only transportation ❌ Workers unable to get to their jobs ❌ Impound fees making it even harder to recover Join us Feb. 10 @ 6:30PM - 2620 W Battlefield Rd and say NO to the TOW!

Going on 14 hours of Playstation Network outage. Know what we didn't have during the cartridge gaming era? Network outtages.

I'm sorry but the AI Beetles won best Rock and Roll performance? I'm an accelerationist now. This broke me.

It’s not lost on me that BlackSky, a community of people who’ve had to navigate being marginalized and disenfranchised in the US since literal birth, isn’t as overwhelmed as the rest of BlueSky is.

I hate it when people say "America" deserves this or that. The US is not some composite asshole who deserves to get slapped around. Some of us have been laboring to make things better for a long time. Even the people who are on some fuckshit politically deserve to live and have healthcare.

no state no border no walls no cages

The real aggravating part of all of this is members of the democrat party are watching the same parade of horrors as we are and in 4 years whichever one of them is running for president will still say something insane like they're going to give a republican a cabinet position or some shit.

alright you wanna know how to support trans people? hire them. It's REALLY hard already for visibly trans people to get jobs, even before this shit. Support places that have trans people working front of house, and make sure owners know that's part of why you're there.

There are no "good" social media platforms only flawed ones being used by flawed people. Folks are using these platforms for many different reasons. To me, the endless discourse is really tedious. Millions of people found Tik Tok of use. Of course they will be pissed that it's banned.

Look at what people are doing. So many people are showing up in marvelous ways for others.

I recently travelled to Poland and Prague and had a wonderful time.
