I went to a training on homeless outreach from a trusted org yesterday, and this is a great option for Americans who want to do something irl but can't risk detainment, so let me share what I learned! 🧵
There are a lot of us who are not well-positioned for street activism (in my case, I can't risk detainment because my youngest still mostly depends on breast milk for calories), and discounting work that can be done on digital space isn't just inaccurate, it's shaming of vulnerable people
I have a client stewing in shame about not doing enough to counter anti-trans and fascist actions, paralyzing himself by saying that no action is good enough except for the one he is too socially anxious to do.
For some, sending words might be a small risk that builds momentum for further action.

The fascists should find it hard TO DO EVERYTHING. They should not be able to find people to work for them. People should act like they are invisible. You did not hear them. You did not get that email. Oooh, did you ask for a pencil? I thought you said stencil.

Did a fascist sit down at a table you're serving? Oops, it's break time. Did they walk into your store? Oops, early closing. Did you get invited to brief them in something? Such a bummer, you are triple booked.

the next four years are going to be a marathon of resistance at a sprinters pace. he's going to go fast, he's going to be messy and he's going to get just enough success to really fuck up people's lives. focus when you can, ask for help when you need it and start paying attention.

I think it speaks volumes that right wingers criticize bluesky for being “liberal” and “left wing”, when it’s really just that hate speech isn’t allowed.

There’s a narrative that Gaetz was a deliberate head-fake — a distraction to boost the real candidate — but I am always suspicious of narratives that attribute four-dimensional chess to trump as opposed to knocking over the table and eating the checkers.
