A few days ago, No Kings said they weren't approving any virtual rallies this time. Despite the fact that I've already hosted them in their name. My co-organizer and I pushed back HARD -- & we WON!

thank you so much for flagging this! @chromatowski.bsky.social and others figured out last year that the long covid community was being targeted by bots on twitter, likely an election influence operation. so I will be watching this closely.

For my baby to be fully vaccinated for Covid in time for xmas like it's 2025 and not 2020, she needs shot 1/3 TODAY. But NO WHERE has it for a 6 mo. old thanks to RFK Jr., who is doing his best to increase his child murder bodycount and covid morbidity and mortality.

thank you! I’m toward the end of it right now and I like it a lot.
I can very much see why it’s part of (or should be part of) the canon as you talk about!

Few would ever love "reactionary" but there's a deeper refusal to accept any label because that would be conceding they are obviously just another ideological faction or political camp that can be critiqued, instead of all just the One Noble Truthteller whose opinions are simply objective reality.

It’s not my fault or intention that reactionary centrists don’t like being called reactionary centrists. If there is another term they would like someone to deploy to describe this same orientation and set of behaviors, I’m all ears!

@ezralevin.bsky.social there were several virtual rallies for the last No Kings event, can you provide some clarity on this? why has the policy changed since June?

I'm co-organizing a virtual rally on Sat, but #NoKings says they aren't offering ANY virtual rallies this time. This is blatantly discriminatory to people with #disabilities -- the whole point of having #virtual options.

What's your excuse, No Kings?

need to leave a conversation and not come back to it but the friendship can continue if the other person is ok with that and doesn’t bring it up again? but that’s personal and you obviously don’t have to answer!

it’s a really important subject imo and I hope people with the knowledge and capacity get together to try and think about it. I actually am wondering if that level of illness means it’s necessary to kind of stop talking to ppl over stuff that you’d try to work out normally? or more like you might

I totally understand that perspective! in practice I don’t actually do well with like, discoursing with ppl or changing minds. and yeah I have actually been thinking about friendship in a context where exposure to disagreement or conflict is physically dangerous for some community members. if I had

friendships fall apart over one discourse day I try to optimize for avoiding it.

Twitter is none of these things to me, it’s the place that I step into, go 😬 and then leave a few times a week.

yeah definitely! I think when I first joined my goal was “1) build an audience 2) ??? 3) win at advocacy” and now it’s “durable acquaintanceships and friendships to the extent that it’s possible online”+keep up with news. I‘m always a little freaked out by situations where long term online
