The “class war over everything” populist rhetoric is mind numbingly stupid.

Bluesky, seeing gay rights activists in the 80's partying at nightclubs after a day of advocacy: READ THE ROOM, DON'T YOU KNOW PEOPLE ARE *DYING*?!?!!
Yes, that's why the parties exist. A love of life is why you live, it's not a treat you get after Activisming enough like a trained dog.

Interesting to see people in MN respond to this with support while nutbars from outside of MN scream at her to READ THE ROOM and how she shouldn't WASTE TIME on something as FRIVOLOUS as this.

In Minnesota, we won't stop welcoming people from around the world. Undeterred by the ice or ICE, Stillwater, MN hosted its annual world snow competition, bringing 16 international teams that turn blocks of snow into art. Congrats to first-place Canada 🇨🇦, Mongolia and Thailand for second and third!

Nuanced take: I think it's really important to give *normal citizens* who supported Trump and off-ramp and *professional writers, pundits and politicians* who supported Trump should have to wear it like a scarlet letter for the rest of their lives
This is aggravating, because on the one hand I think it's really important to give fascists an off-ramp and positive reinforcement when they use it...
...on the other hand, FUCK that guy, in particular.

We also have our YOUTH doing much needed advocacy work. All of our youth from the fams we support are organizing and sharing their stories because we create the environment for them to do so. As an undocumented youth I’d never thought to have a space like this to process a loss like this

Americans are going to have to learn that choices matter in a way that they haven't had to learn in a long time. They've been insulated from bad choices for decades but that is coming to an end.
Fundamentally the lesson American voters took from Trump I and Stop the Steal is that Worse Things Aren't Possible imo
The North Atlantic Treaty was, to be fair, on the ballot in 2016, ‘20, and ‘24 and a decadent voting public made some horrible choices.

Bluesky posters will be like you “you think massive universal legal resistance with total support from the population works? that pales in comparison to my strategy, winning a shootout with an ICE army” and then not win a shootout with an ICE army
Oh my god theyre killing rosa luxemburg again lmao, your failure to engage in armed resistance is speedrunning you towards death camps
There’s no real debate. I have witnessed a very small number of ICE activists advocating for carrying firearms or even trying to agitate by physically striking ICE vehicles, etc. Let’s be clear: the incredibly vast majority of people resisting ICE correctly believe these people are fools.

One side effect of hardening myself against social media's performative misanthropy is that I no longer have patience for films/books/tv that operate from a cynical standpoint and act like humanity isn't worth saving. That's not cool or edgy anymore, all I see is the author's untreated depression.
