Time to call your Senators and tell them they need to vote for a change of leadership. This broken feckless shell of a man cannot meet the moment

As an offshoot of this thread, let’s talk about what happens if federal, state, or local officials text, email, call, or show up at your door wanting to talk to you about what you said about the President.
I have a theme, a thesis, a throughline, a leitmotif, which is SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH.

When the history of this conditional crisis is written, it should be reflected that the best training ground for flouting laws and reneging on obligations was being an American CEO. The voters got their wish. These guys are running the country like a business.
No one is allowed to just enter schools these days without all sorts of identification and a reason. ICE thinks they can just go into a SCHOOL and take people? No id or warrant? This is terrorism and kidnapping. You can’t just storm in and take people and children without legal grounds.
You know what level of mistake I accept from my calculator? Zero. My calculator makes a mistake, that is a dead calculator. Its value is entirely in its function and if it fails at that even once, fuck it.
Humans, some people have suggested, have value beyond their function.
Mr. Trump’s executive order indicates that in 30 days, all federal agencies will be required to confirm the immigration status of the parents before issuing documents like a passport.
If you are a visa holder/temp resident in the U.S., and your child was born here and doesn't have a passport, GET A PASSPORT FOR THEM IMMEDIATELY. Like, make the appointment this week.

Well shit. Glad I popped in long enough to see this.
I locked down my bird account and deleted all my tweets *months* ago. Went and checked, and sure enough, they’ve all been restored.
Just did what I should have done in the first damn place and deleted the entire account.

back in my day we didn’t need fancy little stools to go drone hunting
They fixed Bluey!!
Yesterday Bluey’s paw got punctured.
Yesterday Bluey was down. Yesterday Bluey was deflated. Yesterday it looked like Bluey wasn’t going to make it.
BUT I KNOW OF A MAN WITH A PUNCTURED HAND. AND EARLY IN THE MORNING!!!
His name starts with a J, he’s not Jalen but he Rose!!!
Listen, being good in spite of surrounding circumstances is a top-tier adulting skill!
And those are great ages (even though I know it doesn’t feel like it sometimes)!
They're lying but 😭
Too old and too slow for shitposting on the socials. What is my life become?😂😂😂
How are ya? How’s the fam?
damn i was like the 9th person to reply with that picture😂
bluesky is really for real.
anyway shoutout to brazil for having a semi-functional democracy
You attain citizenship in the US in one of two ways: birthright and naturalization. Trump has campaigned to eliminate both. The calls should be understood for what they are: dog whistles that attack people of color and their children; he is not attacking white immigrants or their children.
Mark! Good to see you, man! How’s it going?
The Parable books feel so prescient because Octavia Butler had such a profound understanding of how people and systems work.
She wasn’t a time-traveller.
She was a Black woman born in the US in the late 1940’s who saw things as they actually were and refused to sugarcoat a goddamn thing.
One of the most jarring things about this book is that it starts during the societal collapse where people are still desperately trying to hang on to the last semblances of normalcy.
And then you watch the bottom drop out in real time.
Kind of amazing watching all the shit sandwich salespeople flocking to Bluesky desperately trying to convince people they can't have a well-balanced diet without eating a bunch of shit sandwiches.
Just a reminder, I'm currently on a widely used blocklist and my account is labeled 'transphobic' on said list.
Blocklists can and are being used maliciously.
This is the group of carolers from a Jordan Peele Christmas movie.
Hi. You don't owe anybody your time or attention. Engage with who you want, block who you want, and don't let assholes (ESPECIALLY Bush-era war criminal assholes) lecture you about echo chambers. Make your Bluesky experience into whatever you want it to be and to hell with the rest of it.
Hubris is a helluva drug.
man sounds like he's been on a 40 year quest tracking down and eating all the muppets so he can absorb their powers
going to re-up if you are still migrating from a Twitter account—
use the Sky Follower Bridge extension which lets you easily migrate your follows and followers from X (formerly Twitter) to Bluesky. you should act fast because its functionality may be short-lived:
Despite his fondness for leafy greens, this lunatic wants kids to start dying again from all kinds of Criterion Collection-ass diseases that vaccines had successfully eradicated for more than half a century.
I should certainly fucking hope he faces a lot of pushback.
WTF are we even doing here?
Hey there! From what I've seen, the answer to your 2nd question is a resounding yes. If you haven't seen them already, the starter packs are a good workaround. It'll take a little bit of scrolling, but search #starterpack and you'll find good (often very specific) lists of suggested accounts.
Listen, did you ever had a bad boss, a terrible person, at a job that you can't, for whatever reason, quit? Did you learn to delay, obfuscate, frustrate, and otherwise fuck up that person just to the line where you could keep your job? Congratulations, you have the tools to resist authoritarianism!
