One of my favorite things about Bluesky (or at least my little corner of it) is that people are always sharing resources for taking action.
So here's a pinned thread collecting those resources, some made by me and some made by others.

I'm having complicated and frustrated thoughts about having to see reminders all over my feed that the president said something jaw-droppingly fatphobic in public while at the same time wondering how many of those people themselves make fat jokes and only clock this one as bad because Trump said it

ICE has been raiding my neighborhood and surrounding ones for the last couple of weeks now. They commandeered my local church (against the pastor's will) for a staging site and raided supermarkets, parks, Goodwills, bus stops, you name it.
The national media's been silent. So has @mayor.lacity.gov.

Engagement on our updates re: ICE kidnappings/fed siege of Los Angeles is significantly lower on Bluesky compared to Twitter. Do ppl on here not care about LA anymore? Are feeds being taken over by liberal commentators? What's going on?
Community members on the ground can't do it all. We need help.

The feds are escalating in Los Angeles. We've seen record high kidnappings and our communities are under attack. The media focus on LA has died down so electeds don't feel the need to even feign opposition.
People are out here fighting. We need all of us. Join the struggle. Defend your neighbors.

In a sense, police violence is as American as apple pie/foundational to the entire project anyway
In another sense, yes they are actively doing as much horrible shit as quickly as possible in broad daylight so you become numb to it faster than you can catch your breath

Their belief is that drugs should be released to the public in early stages, let the people be the test subjects, and only regulate them AFTER problems arise.
This is all part of their longevity cult, which is being hampered by drug regulations and stopping them live forever (seriously not a joke)

This is something you can absolutely hang your hat on - billionaires are absolutely TERRIFIED by their own morality. It consumes them. And many of them spend vast amounts of their time and money trying to figure out how to avoid it.

Israel is engaged in genocide, it is a genocide materially assisted by the US, and AIPAC is the biggest lobby pushing for that material assistance to continue.

Yep. The “others” a lot of ppl online complain about tend to be people with less privilege and fewer resources…regularly. This persistent idea that people who are already deemed disposable are always in arrears when it comes to taking action and owing labor.
