“Power isn’t absolute. It struggles to maintain itself. Resistance forces it to expend resources making oppression costly, & unsustainable.

Make it pricey & expensive for them to oppress.”

Thanks, @tadstoermer.bsky.social for your TikToks.

Dear #Boise friends! Husb & I have decided to come back from the suburbs early & attend #NoKings2 in #Chicago!

But we will be watching you. Make us proud! Bring a friend. Bring 2! Let’s make them real nervous by showing them what even deep, red Idaho can do.

The Groypers of Idaho

A growing faction of Idaho political influencers is redefining conservatism around anger and opposition instead of faith, facts, and practical solutions that strengthen communities.

The skylarks really are pretty little birds. Just look at those markings. 🪶

For my #birdoftheday #wings, I am choosing this Tricolored heron. I am currently in Corpus Christi and seeing all sorts of cool new #birds!

I didn’t know swifts could form little bird tornadoes going into an old chimney!

Imagine being illegally deployed to Portland and not being able to go watch this because you live in shame and bird fans would run you out of their neighborhood.

The bird content on BlueSky is top notch. A new hybrid bird bc of climate change?! Cool.

Sensory Ecology Lab @sensoryecology.bsky.social · 2d

“The bird is descended from a blue jay (Cyanocitta cristata), which is native to the eastern and central United States, and a green jay (Cyanocorax luxuosus), which traditionally occurs in Central America, Mexico, and southern Texas.”

Can someone help me understand the far leftists who continually attack democrats? They aren’t in power. They aren’t making everything worse rn. The culprits have ALL THREE branches of govt. We can critique Dems when they’re in the driver’s seat. WTAF do they think it accomplishes rn?

Thinking this is wrong and untenable isn’t radical.

Thinking it isn’t, is.

They’re white Christian nationalist Islamophobe/xenophobes. All that would make them do is want to boot the Singaporeans as well.

I’m no longer able to lurk on fb. If you have time & inclination, I’d chuckle at screenshots.
I did see from @sisyphus43.bsky.social’s screenshot here that the IFF came out SWINGING from jump.

Yeah. I get it, honestly. We need somewhere for our anger to go. I’m guilty of similar generalizations.

Not for nothin’, your hair & makeup are to die for.

I’d share that there are fierce warriors here doing hard work to care for the most vulnerable on the front lines of Project 2025.

Beautiful mountains. Lots of public land. Thriving LGBTQIA community. And a mix of political beliefs.

Thank you for asking. Curiosity is a kindness. 🫶

When I moved back here from California, my colleagues there kept calling it Iowa. As if it wasn’t 2 just states away.

K - Do something @millennialleia.bsky.social · 3d

A gentle reminder that “red” states are full of millions of people who are not “part of the problem” & are doing a fabulous job resisting on the very front lines of Project 2025.
At its core, this is ultimately othering our neighbors. We, the red state resistance, stay to help the most vulnerable.

I’m less interested in tech by the day, honestly. Currently in love with everything analog & physical.

K - Do something @millennialleia.bsky.social · 3d

That captures what I’m seeing too.

I’m increasingly dismayed by how many of my friends are falling into the trap. I won’t say I never use it, but very rarely & I think it’s far less helpful than I would have expected. For me, it’s kind of a fancy thesaurus that I often switch to a thesaurus from.

I like Political Potatoes.
In this case, I’m ok with MAGA melting down over this bc they’ve been manipulated to be afraid of immigrants & Muslims…unless the president says it’s cool?
The fact that they didn’t realize the optics of accepting a plane & $B golf course, then announcing this? Classic.
