Chicago Dem, bleeding-gums liberal.
Worried about what's happening/ what may happen.
Trying to occasionally be funny about it. If it weren't for parasocial, I'd have no social at all. Hoping for more interaction here, bc Those Other Platform owners are 🚮

I think a good strategy for your non-leftist social media presence (ie everywhere but here) is to give this photo - the remains of Danish soldiers returning in coffins after being killed in America's war in Afghanistan - as wide an audience as possible. Remind people who we're betraying

MLK Jr. said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people."

Remember this.

Plus, cancelling the midterms when there are a lot of local and state elections, too, is impossible.
Cancelling the elections would result in what? Locking in the current Congress? Nah. Not gonna happen.
So if anyone says he should cancel any elections: laugh at them. Laugh hard. Then walk away.
Let me just say it again: he can’t cancel the midterms. Elections are administered by states.

He can’t do it. Stop telling people he can do it.

Telling people their votes don’t matter based on absolutely false fantasizing by the demented sociopath is doing the work of voter suppression for him.

If you need a palate-cleanse before getting back to the fight, I recommend the Zoosky! feed. I have it pinned along with Museums, and Dogs of Bluesky, when it all gets too much

Finding myself reposting all of @kenjennings.bsky.social so pls go follow @kashana.blacksky.app and Ken yourselves. Thank you from Chicago where we've seen this BS before.
They spent all that time complaining about crime in cities so they could implement their solution of killing people in cities.

I just need to share that my phone autocorrected "Captain America" to "Capitalism Erotica" and that would be hilarious if it weren't so appropriate for today's America

It's been a dark week, but I just saw someone reply to an "Abolish ICE" post with a scoldy Bluesky "Uh, try abolish DHS" and that joy will sustain me for a little while.

The woman killed by ICE was Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year old who was the mother of a 4-year old child whose father already died a few years ago.

The Star Tribune talked to her mother. www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...

Remember? "We'll be welcomed as liberators." No? Welp, guess we're doomed to repeat it then
People being like, "But Venezuelans are happy about Maduro being gone!" have the memories of goldfish. IN 2003, the narrative was that Iraqis celebrated the U.S. invasion and capture of Saddam.

Whether they were happy or not, invading Iraq was still the wrong thing to do.

Wish I could switch to JUST Bluesky but there's almost no engagement here compared to Threads,where I have far fewer followers. I try to comment and Like my IRL friends' posts but generally it's like posting into a void. Why the difference (aside from algo boost on Threads; that can't be ALL of it)

Please read this whole thread. Garrett's right: because everything is terrible nowadays, this VERY terrible thing is not getting the attention it deserves
I get that it may be hard to amplify one terrible issue given that most things are terrible anymore, but I wish more people were aware of and advocating to prevent the cruelty of this regime’s evil changes to HUD’s Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) last month. 1/
