People often categorize others while knowing little about them. Others should say who they are and what defines them. I'm writing this brief summary of myself to give people a chance to know me a bit better. I'm doing so hoping for genuine connection, not a following. (1/8)

@nlgchicago.bsky.social is trying to raise $10k to fund ongoing legal support for protesters. They've had to cover long shifts at Broadview, and their volunteers have been repeatedly assaulted by police in the process. More info with ways to donate here: instagram.com/p/DP36ITJja-W/

Definitely a big difference between Burr and Barr. I actually used to like the former. Now he's just another asshole.

It's seriously disappointing to find out how many celebrities are douchebags. I've stopped consuming a lot of stuff because of it.

Stick a merkin to a thong, call it something else, and hope people will buy it?

Must be nice to be so detached from reality.

You need to stop billing yourself as a news organization because it's a lie. Journalism eludes you and has for a very long time.

He had such a fantastic voice.

Only when instructed. People can always tell them not to withhold anything on the W-4 form.

After having already denied any culpability.

I'm pretty sure admission of one's mistakes automatically disqualifies a person from being a Republican.

Exactly. Just like everything else, if these fools had proof of their claims, they'd be parading the evidence in front of everyone. Paid protesters don't exist. If anything, it's more projection. They pay agitators.

I don't follow sports, and don't know who this guy is, but I'm guessing he's an asshole.

Fascism is here. The same assholes who like to get up in people's faces to provoke them can't take it when the taunting is returned. This is insanity.

That's what hurts the most. I was raised to believe that people were generally decent folks. The fact that there are so many depraved savages among us is terrifyingly eye-opening.

Susie seems to spend a fair bit of time online. She hasn't even had the Bluesky account a year and has nearly 1k more posts than I do.

I've been here since August of '23.

Since I know you two are as worried as I am about it all, I'm tagging @puggymama21.bsky.social & @whiterabbit324.bsky.social. Looks like we're getting our own Berlin wall.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin_...

edition.cnn.com/2013/09/15/w...

The Soviet Bloc propaganda portrayed the Wall as protecting its population from "fascist elements conspiring to prevent the will of the people" from building a communist state in the GDR. The authorities officially referred to the Berlin Wall as the Anti-Fascist Protection Rampart (German: Antifaschistischer Schutzwall, pronounced [antifaˌʃɪstɪʃɐ ˈʃʊtsval] ⓘ).

The Wall

The Berlin Wall began as a border of barbed wire fencing and evolved into a fortified concrete barrier with armed East German border guards.

Anyone who isn't mad currently is either complicit or ignorant to a degree I can't comprehend. What's happening is about as un-American as it gets. The level of corruption and evil that's spreading is insane.

It all starts at the top. I understand there are a lot of people using Trump. What I don't understand is why ANYONE would BELIEVE a word he says. Nothing he does is for anyone else's benefit. He'd probably backstab his own kids if he got something out of it.
