Literacy is activism. Reading is a political act. Books are tools for liberation.

It is mind-boggling to me that people say "but I had to comply with the fascists because otherwise there would be some cost—" NO FUCKING KIDDING. Did you think you'd never have to make a hard choice in Fascist America? That you wouldn't be asked to sacrifice someone and be rewarded for it?? JFC

for family Halloween costumes: I'm Hooty I'm Grunkle Ford I'm Ms. Langtree (bc I lost out on Wirt) I'm Bessie the Snail I'm Mrs. Incredible I'm the Wicked Witch of the West (not Elphaba) I'm Wonder Woman I'm Scarlet Witch I contain multitudes (of cosplay)

may I say, disrespectfully to all who complied in advance, NO SHIT HOW'S THAT BOOT LEATHER TASTE? GTFO

It is going to be very bad.

@governorwalz.mn.gov I very much hope you respond correctly to this "first they came for" situation. No more federal funding for MN. Start preparing to deal with this reality. GIVE UP NOT. ONE. INCH.

we* need to become comfortable with the idea that we're probably going to be arrested at some point. *white people who don't want to bend the knee

Start where you are, use what you have, do what you can. -Arthur Ashe Holding these words in our hearts and wishing you a good night.

Spitballing here: How about instead of a General Strike, we push for a Children's Strike? Teachers, childcare workers, anyone who works with our kids goes on strike - it's a smaller slice of the population but we KNOW the nation stops without childcare...

i have a lot of strengths, but I do keep trying to replicate Thai recipes on my own inferior home stove like an idiot

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

One thing that I'm increasingly coming to believe is that stories are going to be central to what comes next. Stories of the harm done. Stories of the great things achieved by government in the past. Stories of valor kindness and quotidian simple resistance.

if SOMEBODY is not currently writing and illustrating a new official Tim Drake run where he gets to graduate to a new identity (not RR c'mon) as a PERSON OVER THE AGE OF 17 then what are we even doing here

Re: "where are the protests against Trump for Gaza like there were for Harris, HUH?? I'M WAITING" posts - you must think ALL those protesters were fake. Right? People who won't protest Trump bc the goal was to weaken Harris, not advocate for Gaza? You don't think anyone actually cares about Gaza?

in "water is wet" news, cops don't care about public safety or laws

I see your protest... and I raise you... a general strike

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive): 1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment* 2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything 3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can 4. Citizens march en mass

Our coalition has grown to 30,000 federal employees. Details regarding new guidance will be distributed. For those not in our coalition, here is a public message: hide any online content that is public, document everything you witness or experience, and keep daily notes at home with dates and times.

cool cool cool i thought we'd have at least a year or two to plan a move but okay

Ya they're not gonna wait for court cases to play out, they're gonna change the locks and cut off paychecks. Congress and the courts have to act now or it's already over

ALSO look into community gardens - lots more have been popping up, and combining our efforts results in higher yield, stronger community, fun events, good food... there are so many benefits

ah another day in "let's order people to comply and yeah the order is illegal but we're doing it anyway" HOW ABOUT WE FOLLOW THE CONSTITUTION INSTEAD OF THE FASCISTS #DoNotComply

It would be fantastic if major federal institutions would acknowledge that the executive branch cannot legally unilaterally cancel or redistribute congressionally appropriated funding on ideological grounds and thus they have no legal obligation to comply with such directives

The most incompetent white people on earth blaming black and brown people for a plane crash is peak weak whiteness.

not complying in advance but also what if you didn't comply after the fact

things CAN get better, BUT no one is going to save you from the horrors. not that politician, not that group or party, not that policy or strategy. we have to get together and save ourselves, together. (also purity politics will kill us all so quit that shit now)

[slaps roof of Minnesota] this bad boy can fit so many trans people in it

wait wait wait... are you telling me there's a GENERAL in this STRIKE? badum tiss anyway let's revolt #GeneralStrike

Can confidently say that no one has a sense of what it will look like to pause possibly trillions in federal grant obligations and disbursements even for a few weeks, possibly far longer given review time required. But we’re about to get a lesson in what the taken-for-granted state really does.

“This power structure, which has become institutionalized, has put people with no empathy, no risk assessment and extremely poor understanding of the world in charge of our governance and our knowledge with predictably disastrous results.” - Heather Marsh, The Creation of Me, Them and Us #booksky

My crankiest belief is that we are now being sold on solutions to problems which only exist because we've let others convince us they exist. That is what "innovation" seems to be in 2025. There's a level of introspection that's just not happening these days re: what actually needs to bother us.

We're gonna have to crowdsource the death toll from the new H5N1 avian influenza, aren't we. They're really going to "No one is dying, what?" us through another pandemic. If you don't watch people die before your eyes and no agency is counting or reporting them, then it doesn't exist! Like magic!

cruelty is v important to them
