Fascists, including the This Is Texas Freedom Force militia group, are threatening a drag show at the Aztec Theater in San Antonio on Tuesday, December 13. Counterprotesters will be gathering from 7-9pm outside the theater to protect the event. #LGBTQIA #SanAntonio #Texas #antifascist

Humans can be fallible, violence prone, dangerous to themselves, other species and the world, true.
But humans can also cooperate, achieve amazing feats, and even save the planet from devastation.
I considered this when I heard that 70 years after the first use of atomic fusion, humans have achieved *ignition* at the Lawrence Livermore Lab. That means more energy was produced from a fusion reaction than was used to power it. We have a long way to go, but this is a huge milestone! #Hope #Fusion

These are most definitely NOT politically savvy people.

How about a GOTV effort vs a pie in the sky navel gazing...uuuhhh..can you give us a selection to choose from?

Via Ian Millhiser:

"The primary difference between Trump and DeSantis is that Trump is a lazy narcissist who wasn't interested in doing the job of president, while DeSantis is a hard-working authoritarian with well-thought out plans to remake the United States in the image of Viktor Orban's Hungary." ✔️

Them: maybe use a comma

Me: maybe I didn't want you to breathe

I don't know why conservative Christians, who believe they are literally consuming the body of their God every Sunday through transubstantiation, believe its incredulous and 'ideology' for trans people to be born in the wrong body. They literally think wheat turns into flesh.

I got asked in my #DeepWork session what I would do to “be more intentional” this week. I answered honestly, that I couldn’t care less about it, I have three days off this week and it’s Christmas week next week, so I refuse to “get intentional” over work!

This year, I went to Haida Gwaii (BC) to perform. I met Alison Keery, who told me she teaches dance at Haida Gwaii schools. That led to an instant friendship. We visited the iconic Balance Rock, where we mixed Highland and Bhangra dances to build cross-cultural bridges and give hope.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Trekmas.

Thoughts on #Twitter

I'm wondering if we're seeing #BirdSite breathing its last agonal breaths...

It feels like maybe the public in general is kind of over #Shitposting #Trolling and #Abuse.

Musk seems increasingly desperate to post something so outrageous that it will drive people to engage on the platform. More and more people are starting to recognize what's happening and not playing that game. Or maybe that's just me being hopeful...

Remember that toot the you know was an absolute banger but no one was here to appreciate it?

They're here now so it's time to go back and shamelessly re-blog that baby!!! 😀

“Russia, that has been consistently destroying its own civil society, illustrates this very well. But the countries of the democratic world have long turned a blind eye to this.”

“ The democratic world has grown accustomed to making concessions to dictatorships. And that is why the willingness of the Ukrainian people to resist Russian imperialism is so important.”

1/. Just seen a 🧵 on the bird site from John Aravosis that articulates some of the thoughts I have been having, but less so the fears.

“Elon Musk’s problem is that while he’s successfully cultivating a MAGA/neo-Nazi fanbase on Twitter, he’s just lost 60% of the country that will now never purchase a @Tesla, and will vocally oppose any government support for SpaceX”

There are many people struggling at this time. It is always worth remembering and being mindful of that. Christmas has become such a consumer materialistic endeavour. Too many people will go into debt to buy things that people do not really need.

Maybe it’s time to celebrate Christmas with good food, good company and joy. That is what Christmas should be about. Not unnecessary gifts.

I like people who take a knee to protest injustice, rather than those who want to shred the Constitution.

12 December 1934 | A Norwegian Jewish girl, Fanny Synnøve Ganz, was born in Oslo.

In November 1942 she was deported to Auschwitz with her mother Lea and her brother Charles. They were all murdered in a gas chamber after the selection.

Unless you live in N AL you can stop trying to explain to me the “genius” behind the Muskrat
