Local elected officials are the first legislative line of defense against fascism. Today I went and early voted for people in my city who would push back against the MAGA agenda. I hope you go out and vote too.

I'm still a bit short, about 50 or so dollars short, and tomorrow my account is gonna go into the red. Any and all #MutualAssistance would go a long way. If you have any spare change or so you can throw at me it'd mean a lot.

Lucianowrites @lucianowrites.bsky.social · 10d

I'm currently in the unenviable position of needing #MutualAid due to having run out of savings. I have a phone bill coming up that I just can't handle alone. I'm trying to get $100 in the short term though anymore would be amazing & help me buy food next week. www.paypal.com/biz/profile/...

Some friends have already helped some, getting me a bit over a quarter of the way there but I am signal boosting this a touch before bed. #mutualaid

My cashtag is $LucianotheWriter and that's another easy way to throw money at me. Any and all help would be amazingly appreciated.

These sorts of actions should be nonpartisan and should be approved in advance by independent overseers for a multitude of historic, civil, and private reasons.

The admin has insisted that these renovations are in line with what past presidents have done (not really?) and that they won't cost taxpayers anything. That second part, at a glance, seems true but that's not what matters, or at least it's not the only thing that matters.

It doesn't cool the temperature in the room to insist that real, normal concerns with what the Trump admin is doing to the people's house are "manufactured outrage".

Lucianowrites @lucianowrites.bsky.social · 10d

Unsurprisingly Trump has decided to say "Fuck the rules" and do it without going through that process.
It doesn't unify people to do stuff the way the Trump admin does.

I think this could be a neat time to talk about the history of renovations to the #WhiteHouse, but one of the bits that matters and is relevant to right now is that while it's true that the White House has gotten plenty of renovations there's a whole process for it.

I've supported Bernie in the past and I like a lot of his policies and ideas. But he's just wrong on this. And in his stupidity he will give a lot of fascists ammunition and cause many baby-brained leftists to wonder, even for a second, if Trump has something he's done well. Fuck him & fuck this.

A long time ago I was openly critical of bernie because of profoundly racist bullshit like this. It annoyed a lot of people. I was right.

Bernie has a history of being weird as fuck on immigration and just fucking useless on this kind of thing. Unsurprised to see him continuing that.

Trump's re-election campaign is going to be running favorable quotes from ... [checks notes] ... Senator Bernie Sanders.

Something something *dumbest people you know* something something

P.S.: Fuck these two idiots specifically. These two sad clowns contributed to Trump's rise and they don't get brownie points for realizing, now, that Trump is interested in fucking them over too.

This is bad, man. It's just fucking horrifying. ICE doesn't want you to read this, and we know because they don't report when they fuck up and kidnap a citizen. They definitely don't want you sharing this either.

Lucianowrites @lucianowrites.bsky.social · 12d

For the record ICE is bad from the jump and it's bad when their targets aren't actually citizens but it's undeniably evil when they kidnap and hold American citizens. Several of the citizens they've held have been children.

It's... weird how this wasn't a bigger story when it first broke, six days ago. Over 170 American citizens have been detained and held by ICE. So, kidnapped.

www.propublica.org/article/immi...

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.

The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

I have... thoughts and concerns regarding artificial wombs and the children they could help come to term, but this IS an interesting solution. This is worth a watch.

According to Vance's own admin antisemitism is enough of a reason to be denied entry to the USA. So... we're FULLY embracing "Do as I say, not as I do" huh?

After what he did to so many victims, especially young women, who suffered as a result of his stupid ass show he deserves this and worse. I'm so happy karma got his ass.
