I forgot to mention this moment of kindness I saw at the #nokings in Raleigh: two generous people stopped at the corner of Old Wake Forest Rd and Capital to drop off a bunch of sandwiches and water from their car for the protesters. I was very impressed by their thoughtfulness!

The first one in June rocked just as hard. And I think the visibility is far higher in that location than anyw downtown. I’ve been to others in downtown and you get people sure, but nowhere like the thousands that drove by in 3 hrs on Capital Blvd.

Lol. Love it. I just laughed at those few clowns. Glad we were all there to brighten their days. 😄

i can understand your perspective that downtown is where things happen, but I asked the person next to me at the protest, how many cars do you think are driving by? there is no way being downtown for three hrs would have matched the volume of people who drove by where we gathered. 😃

I’d rather give Sarah or the guy from farmingwhilebeige my $ for greens and eggs than a MAGA supporter.

Great job, Raleigh! ❤️ loved the costumes!
There were a couple of drivers who were tilted by our energy and message and they just made me laugh. #nokings #fucktrump #democracy #resist #frogstogetherstrong

do Farmers markets exclude farms that are abusive as a requirement to sell there? if I ask a farmer, do you use and abuse H2A labor, how likely are they to answer and answer truthfully? And that still doesn’t deal with the bigger issue of farm policy that doesn’t distinguish abusive from fair farms.

you just said they’re not a monolith, but then you say “them” without distinguishing who. How do I support the farmers that don’t want to own slaves without knowing who “they” are?

that’s what passes for intellectual discussion in conservative circles now?

The cronies want to make voting harder by requiring more documents to register to votes. Follow the instructions here to stand up for fair and representative voting. It’ll take maybe 5 minutes. #voting #protectthevote #protectdemocracy

Take Action: Stop Voter Suppression!

The Election Assistance Commission (EAC) is considering a new rule that could block millions of US citizens from registering to vote.

This!

I’m learning a lot from your videos. Something though that is still not clear to me is the difference between a “small” farm and other farms. if you’ve got a video that goes over basics like that, it might be useful to set up a ’farm economics 101’ or something like that on your YouTube. thanks.

I thought about this with Mehdi Hassan jubilee, when one of the “debaters” said he was for voting for fascism And laughed About that. He thinks he’ll be safe. But at some point someone would likely turn on him and find some reason to oppress him. is voting for fascism still gonna be fun then?

Cops already get qualified immunity. Why do they get more legal benefits, i.e. assaulting a cop means felony charges when assault is a lower charge on non-police?

Well, it’s not like the country’s government has passed a budget bill either…

rutti @cemfogos.bsky.social · 24d

They fired people when your colleagues voted to fund the govt previously. So what’s the difference? At least with a shutdown, there’ll be less people to enact all the heinous shit he wants to do, making it harder for him to do it.
And yes, why did you vote for a day for Kirk?

How do they ”have relations” while in the air? They do it _swiftly_. 😜

Don’t put it past them. They’re loons. The only thing this cult requires is dedication.
