Running thread of people trying to normalize the sieg heil. It's not an "Elon gesture", it's not autism, it's not your heart going out, it's not parody or trolling. It's fucking despicable. Don't ever let this shit become normal. Fuck any excuse given, there is none. Zero tolerance. 1. Elon Musk

Two things are true: This type of weak sauce learned helplessness from Democrats is pathetic. Yet it’s true that the broad mobilization of civil society we desperately need in order to stop this authoritarian assault will create dangerous, volatile situations. That’s just where we are.

THREAD. Every day I get to work with amazing people from all walks of life who are dedicating their lives to fighting government repression and corporate predation. They do it strategically and relentlessly. The incompetence and grifting of political elites makes a mockery of it.

If you actually want mass protests, then you have to let go of your desire to stage manage them from the sidelines. And I am sorry but the majority of this country is not there. They are easily spooked and will throw protesters under the bus quickly. Doesn't mean protests shouldn't take place.

For a long time now, the advice to immigrants is very much: “have you tried being an American? I have and it really worked out for me.

If you leak information about trans patients to ultra conservative activists you are NOT a whistleblower. You’re a malicious monster Also how is this not a HIPAA violation and grounds for losing license? Of course they dropped the case. Trump is in and people like this won’t be help accountable.

Already there are wannabe local influencers here in Chicago making all-caps posts about ICE raids in neighborhood Facebook groups because their friend saw an unmarked cop car somewhere and they consider that evidence enough to growth-hack off of people's fear. Listen to trusted orgs, not randos.

Chicago Legal Responders Network has produced a series of short videos about what to do if ICE shows up at your house, stops you while driving, etc. Available in Spanish and English. Please share with those who may find them useful. Here's what to do if they show up at your house.

One solid way you can fight back today & everyday is to look out for your neighbor, & not just in theory. If you’re in LA, someone in your building probably needs a mask. Someone living outside probably needs a meal. That person being stopped by the cops needs someone to record what’s happening.

i’m not paid to pontificate on what ifs and frankly a lot of those who are sell an idea of only ever organizing in the abstract, ignoring as real world emergencies unfold around them. go do something lovely and meaningful today instead of doomspiraling about what you already know will be bad.

An easy block from me is when someone makes a post about a hurricane that hits maga country or a horrible policy happening in a red state and someone goes “they asked for it, they voted for it womp womp” If you say shit like that we are not on the same side sorry

it’s kinda crazy that the thing threatening us most isn’t the fascists openly plotting how to kill us, but the democrats who promised to fight for us instead rapidly lining up beside the fascists, their immediate elimination of any friction to slow the assault - all to maintain their power.

I just blocked this account. Liberals wonder why we don't trust them (after all they hate Republicans!!! that makes them unquestionably good) and then they make memes where the entire insult, the withering attack that can never be recovered from, is...checks notes being homosexual. Fuck you.

Can't tell if it's the Theraflu induced haze or is the final season of New Girl really really bad?

this urge to launder rfk jr. as “just a guy who is right about a few things” is such a perfect example of how liberals are people who won’t take their own side in a fight

That a dude with a couple cameras and a plate of appetizers can make something worth $82.5 million and a media company looks at that and goes "couldn't we make even more money if we had AI do it?" tells you exactly how stupid these people are

my honest take: this is a ploy to make the site look more appealing to mainstream journalists and commentators and they don't mind throwing certain (trans) segments of the user base under the bus to make it happen.

Seeing all the talk about Singal's influence + BlueSky's nonaction is a very good reminder about how BS's admins did their damndest to try & sweep antiblackness under the rug in the early days AND went out of their way to make themselves unavailable The tactic against trans ppl is 100% the same.
