I’m writing this #1001ideas series as a way to keep me sane and maybe come up with ways to help. It’s mostly preparing yourself stuff right now. Will be more activism as we go. Please add your own ideas to the hashtag. Or give me subjects, worries and questions to think about.

If you can’t sell your soybeans because of Trump’s tariffs after Argentina stepped in and took your customers, you can take solace that the guy you voted for also just gave $20 billion of your tax dollars to the country that is bankrupting you.

The inflatable goals: (1) expose the lie about war-torn cities, (2) mock bullies trying to seem powerful, (3) encourage bystanders to join you the next time, (4) refuse to give them the optics they need to create propaganda, (5) get the media to keep attention on the abductions through whimsy.

This kind of propaganda is clearly churned out to get people to believe three things: (1) they should give up on a wildly successful tactic, (2) there is one real way to intervene + armchair organizers refuse to tell us plebs what it is, (3) your goal isn't to persuade bystanders to join you.

In previous posts, I have verified a posted with data evidence that Flash Flood Watches were appropriately issued. Every County around Kerr received that info and applied it to save lives. "I was sick," is not a valid excuse for the deaths of 116 people. It is failure this guy still has a job.

William "Dub" Thomas, the Kerr County Emergency Management Director since 2015, detailed his whereabouts during the crisis.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

NEW: Pentagon officials are forcing staff to watch Pete Hegseth's "Warrior" speech he forced generals to listen to.

Officials are even "testing" staff to see if they watched — and are threatening consequences if they lie about watching it or if they mock it, sources tell @swin24.bsky.social and I.
The Pentagon Is Ordering Staff to Watch Hegseth’s ‘MAGA Garbage’ Speech… Or Else
Defense Department sources tell Zeteo that staff have been warned that if they don’t watch or read the speech, or if they speak negatively of it, they could face severe consequences.

ICE agents interfered with—and even threatened to “shoot and arrest”—emergency personnel rescuing an injured protester last week in Portland.

The agent “pointed his finger at me in a threatening manner,” the driver recalled, “and began viciously yelling in my face.

Tim Walz is the ONLY guy the democrats have that can bring farmers and ranchers back to the table. He's it.

I'm from a multigenerational ranching family. I'm a co-owner today. I exist in the ag world and nobody is talking to them. Walz can break through, and that's important.

Tim Walz: "It's almost unimaginable that he's got Milei in there, giving him $20 billion, so that they can undercut us and China can buy their soybeans from them. And now China has learned they can replace our markets."

Gavin Newsom is a shitheel who should never be president, but the legislation he vetoed was unconstitutional, poorly written, both underinclusive and overexclusive, a severe privacy infringement for adults, and would have done nothing but cost California lots of money in court (to lose)

Most people aren’t asking you mask at all times.

They ask that you mask in essential places: public transit, hospitals, doctors’ offices, pharmacies etc.

Places high risk people can’t avoid.

But if you hate wearing masks? Then advocate for indoor air quality: ventilation, filtration, etc.

yeah, i think a commitment to public health obligates you to get vaccinated and, when you are sick, do what you can to avoid spreading that to other people. the demand that one mask at all times in public spaces is, i think, unreasonable.

Seeing a lot of "No Kings" protests groups using AI images lately

Six years ago, Uganda announced a bill to legalize murdering gay people. The National Christian Organization paid a preacher to go to Uganda and help their lawmakers with the bill. Chick-fil-A funds The National Christian Org.

If you eat at Chick-fil-A, this is what your money goes to.
