@knittingcultlady.bsky.social does this SITREP every week.
I find them calming with facts versus feelings and reminding me that there are more of us than there are of them.

Appreciate the ways she is sharing her journey with us.

When you’re wearing pictures of the guy’s face…

Cult scholar: welcome, welcome my children, let me explain.
But it’s so fun and totally worth it 🫡
Yes, find YouTube channels that teach children, because they have the best explanations.

Get some yarn that excites you, any yarn is fine. Just not too fuzzy.

And then just start.

It’s really about learning the language, it’s its own language, and learning what to do with your hands.
Oh, I’m taking the next week to record my audiobook, and letting people leave ideas, and then the planning will begin.

I figure I can give 30 minutes to an hour A day of organizing to help save my country.

And please stay tuned, because I will definitely definitely let you know how you can help!
I don’t understand why you just sent me a video of a man recapping things that I have said since the election
This is called sexual terrorism, by the way!
It's worse than that. They want the threat of rape to drive women out of the military.
This is called sexual terrorism…
And we hate being called “female” because they used it as a slur.

Thanks for coming to my second TED talk 🫡

Oh, here’s the best selling book I wrote about how shitty it is to be a woman in the United States military: knittingcultlady.com/products/unc...

And it’s because we are literally erased in every single conversation by civilians and military, left and right.
When you talk about the military, it’s “our men and women” every time.

“And women”… Every time!

Women veterans are referred to as “invisible veterans” and we suffer from the veteran problems at much higher rates than the men.
He’s like “inconceivable!”

(in a world of all American fascists…Be this guy.)
And today we had to hear that mediocre man that we all had to be better than, tell all of the military leaders that as “Secretary of War” (talk about little Dick energy), he is not gonna allow “mistakes” to ruin dudes careers.

And we all know…
Every woman veteran that you know is probably raging deeply tonight.

Because we all had to serve next to that guy, that toxic masculinity, barely disguised white nationalist, misogynist to the core, guy-who you-know-raped-somebody-or-held-them-down…

Secretary of War is giving “I wanna pick my own nickname, mom!”
Today I unbaptized the spirit of the newly departed Mormon prophet/profit, seer, and revelator true, into atheism.

Please respect my choice. It is my religious freedom.

This is an all-American fascism. Maybe start talking about all of the American reasons why we’re here.
I honestly have no patience for creators who compare us to Germany or other dictatorships, without also listing the differences.

Your threat analysis is not valid if you’ve only looked at one side.
I just think this is gonna be one of the more heavily secured meetings in history, that would probably not make a great target for an attack
