I can't carry it for you, Mr. Frodo. But I can fucking carry you!

Something we have to reckon with is the possibility fascism isn’t some aberrant and exceptional political movement, but is instead inherent to a facet of the human condition and that requires nonstop vigilance to ensure that it doesn’t flare out of control whenever enough haters agglomerate together

I’m going to be a bit more aggressive here - if you claim to be on the left and are spreading bad information about the response to Helene, you’re being used by right wingers to actively erode trust in government. It’s been their project for longer than I have been alive!

even if you have your reservations about harris/walz (i have some myself), voting for them is the one path we have to meeting our climate goals—the proof of that is IRA 1. we’re halfway to meeting our goals now. we can’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. we CAN do this. #IRA2

The big difference between X and Bluesky is that Bluesky doesn’t make me despise or despair of humanity by the posts it shows me.

the same way it worked for gay people and later gay marriage - so many folks think “it’s weird” until it’s someone they know and care for and it’s why the bigots are so determined to drive trans people out of public life, so nobody has a chance to come to that realization

There's always hope if people are willing to stand up.

There is no path — nor has there ever been a path on any issue — to changing things through disengagement. Opting out just makes the existing pool of voters more conservative. You cannot name one progressive achievement made by not voting. Boycotting power only transfers it to your opponents.

I JUST REALIZED HER GUIDANCE WAS ALL CHATGPT HALLUCINATION THAT SHE ATTEMPTED TO PASS OFF AS HER OWN INSTRUCTIONS god fuck her and fuck stupid gen ai bullshit ruining our lives
