I have my own thoughts about Ukraine but it was infuriating to watch Zelinksy, a man who’s seen real hardship, has been part of an actual war, being berated by those two little inexperienced privileged pompous pricks.

I'm watching Euro news and they're calling Zelenskyy one of the greatest leaders since 1945 and they are calling Trump and Vance The Jerry Springer show.

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

A poster for the economic blackout on February 28. It is a big red Jack rabbit on an aqua blue back ground. It says economic blackout in hand done black type. There are two black speech bubbles. One says “don’t buy stuff Friday February 28th. The other says we have power. Below it says No Amazon, Walmart, target, gas food, gas. Below that it says OK small business, use cash. Designed by Martha Rich.

People are upset that AI is determining who gets to keep their jobs. In Gaza AI was determining who got killed.

I have to stop thinking like this.

Maybe we need to have training sessions where people learn not to stand by but to intervene when, in moments of stress, their common decency abandons them.
We've all been there.

Omar El Akkad : One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This - Tin House

In late October 2023, weeks into Israel’s bombing of northern Gaza, the novelist Omar El Akkad retweeted a video taken by a Gazan man. This video showed a lifeless moonscape with endless empty streets...

from leaflets dropped over Gaza:

“The map of the world will not change if all the people of Gaza disappear from existence, and no one will ask about you.”

A few nights ago, I was looking through 1851 death notices (fun!) and saw that often death, at least in Couny Derry, was caused by a "visitation of God.”

I wish we could skip this whole trump fascist part and get straight to the backlash.

It's hard to tell what's at risk, but you would think that the big private companies would be protected. Even if little else is.

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

I should have explained what people were up in arms about: they thought the post was politica
l (what isn't political?) and the poster was a fear-mongering liberal. The conversation, like so many involving my fellow Americans, quickly devolved.

First, identify the ties. I live in Oregon and this little progressive state ranks 3rd in the nation for exports to Israel. 🍉

Alon Mizrahi @alonmizrahi.bsky.social · Feb 5

Don't let Trump dictate the agenda. Make your demand of your government now:

If Israel intends to ethnically cleanse the Palestinians, you demand your government cut all ties with Israel.

You do it - you own the agenda, and not Trump

This is how YOU disrupt and prevent the final destruction of the Palestinian people

We’re on track to lose everything

Climate Dad @climatedad.bsky.social · Jan 30

January 2025 has been 1.75°C above pre-industrial temperatures.

We’re on track to lose everything, & our ‘leaders’ - be they willfully ignorant cowards or outright fascist psychopaths - are owned by billionaires, intent on keeping us distracted & divided when we should be fighting for our lives.

I used to see almost only Palestine in my feed. 🍉Then, briefly, it was cute babies. Now my feed is apocalyptic. How to survive in your home using the techniques of Navy Seals; how to create your own emergency kit; what to do when the grid stops working and/or martial law is declared.

We are so pathetic. I'm sorry this happened. And thank you for standing up against genocide. 🍉

Give them nothing. Focus on your agency. Every hour, every day, wherever you are positioned, there are things you can do to resist. Take good care of yourself and those around you. Watch for opportunities and seize them.

We are in a fight—we have to focus—and it is a fight that we can win. 🙏🏾🙂♥️♥️
