The entire genre of the milquetoast one-line "lol he's so mad" post followed by an eighteen-inch screenshot of his latest Truth Social rant is going to drive me out of my mind before this is all over
Early in his first term I went “wait a minute, I can simply not do this” and stopped sharing, thinking I was dunking on, or even reacting to him. It’s so much better this way, for so many reasons.

i'd also like to directly confront the idea that, well, for "some reason", things that used to be forums, wikis, websites ended up on discord.

it's not a mystery. running a website, wiki, whatever, is hard. maintaining a community is hard. getting people to engage with things is hard.

A brand new Super PAC — Elect Chicago Women — just dropped hundreds of thousands of dollars into this race. Why?

Because it’s actually a front for AIPAC dark money. And they’re doing everything they can to buy my race:

Remember, comrades. Super PACs basically only exist so the rich can circumvent limits on campaign funding and essentially buy elections.

To be clear, the reason you need to sign the pledge and petition is to enable a D primary of Rosa DeLauro. Who IMO deserves a competitive primary because of this. bsky.app/profile/chri...
“I would rather you vote for what is morally correct,” Davidson said.

“Don’t talk to me about my own morality,” DeLauro shot back.

“Don’t tell your constituents what they can and can’t talk to you about,” replied Rev. Nathan Empsall. “What you are voting for is not moral.”
DeLauro to pressing clergy: 'I will not vote to abolish ICE'

Just a reminder, the greatest living American historian filmmaker, Ken Burns, released a 720 min exploration of every facet of the American revolution using zero generative AI and paying for all of its assets instead of cobbling it from stolen data, then he gave it away for free on PBS this year.

okay, so an irc channel was like a discord server where you could ACTUALLY be anonymous and the chatlogs weren't easily indexable by the federal government

As a matter of practical reality, the idea that the minute Trump invokes the Insurrection Act all resistance is futile, Trump has won, Game Over is nonsense. That’s just regime propaganda. Let us not perpetuate it. Make them earn every inch of creeping authoritarianism.

Feels like society’s really broken down in the US in a way that’s deeply traumatic.

But also there are college students knocking on doors asking for shovels (they’re not well-prepared) and helping trapped motorists by shoveling and pushing out cars. Up to 24 of them now, wandering streets together

Heads Up Minneapolis!

MAGA propagandists Cam Higby, Kevin Posobiec & Hailey West have been spotted undercover otg & filming people today.

They mean to twist your anger & sorrow into demonization. Avoid or nonviolently, but firmly, demand they leave. The less content you give them, the better.

Being mad all the time is actually not good for your health, like it literally affects you physically

So when I’m mad or stressed I try to make sure it is for something that truly matters

What I see often in activist spaces is almost obsessive concern over something that’s basically unavoidable: being identified as an activist.

But then, lots of actions taken that INCREASE risk along those other dimensions: destroying evidence and recordings, aggressive and escalatory behavior, etc.
