The goal of nonviolent civil resistance is not to convince the regime they're wrong.

The goal of #NonviolentCivilResistance is to convince the people to work together to make it impossible for the regime to sustain itself.

We aren't nonviolent for the regime. We're nonviolent for each other.

Lots of stories about the current regime holding the insurrection act back because it’s “politically dangerous”. I think the bigger danger, at this point, is that declaring the insurrection act might trigger an actual insurrection.

And no one knows what really happens then.

I think we should start carrying posters of Nazis were tried, convicted and sentenced. Especially those convicted years after the war ended it might be educational.

Please read this Reddit Post with the most recent ICE sightings, add to it, if applicable, and most importantly share. Most of us in NJ care about our neighbors and don't ask their citizenship. Let's protect them as best we can.

RFK Jr. is a completely unqualified conspiracy theorist who is putting newborn babies at risk.

The reckless decision to end a proven vaccine recommendation has no scientific basis.

Dems ended the shutdown because they were afraid of losing the filibuster.

I think that would have been an acceptable outcome but if your whole game is lip service to regular folks while protecting corporate and moneyed interests, can see why keeping the filibuster was important to them.

If companies as small as 500 employees can go self insured for health benefits, why not an entire state? Or region? Why not a collective of citizens in NJ, NY and CT?

I read read The Dawn of Everything by David Greaber and David Wengrow and really loved it. Sono recommended it to a couple colleagues w/o realizing that D Greaber was an anarchist and accidentally radicalized a couple of Pharmaceutical Executives.

Oops.

i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist
the other thing about this is that there is no reason to pit these candidates against each other? each are good fits for their respective electorates and each shows the value of vigorous campaigns focused on the stated material problems of voters.

I have a completely shallow beef with the No Kings movement: they are trying to brand the color yellow as our “thing”, which for me personally, is a terrible color choice.

Does any one look good in yellow?? I own nothing in yellow.

I guess I could get a hat and some socks, but really guys?

Remember folks. The original bluesky ethos by us bluesky elders (apparently I count?) is block and move on.

Don't quote dunk, don't pick fights.
Block, and move on.

This is what made this site unpalatable to the right early on, and we can continue to make it unpalatable to them.

My grandmother was 16 when the nazis invaded her home. She joined the underground eventually and did some wild and dangerous stuff. When asked how she was so brave she said she realized that when everything was equally risky and nothing was safe, you may as well be bold.

In approximately 20 minutes I have to transfer my purring cat, who isn’t eating and losing weight, from my lap to her carrier. She was a feral rescue and wicked smart. She definitely knows something is up, but she’s also been super sweet and I think she may be asking for help.
Will report back.
