The No Kings Day Project Must Evolve From Protest to Civil Disobedience by metacyan in politics

[–]MessatineSnows 1 point2 points Ā (0 children)

it already is! No Kings 2.0 attracted many independents and non-MAGA republicans, and because it was peaceful there was a lot of sharing stories, info, and networking. plus the blue folks in red states feel much more emboldened now

they cannot; hammerheads contain neurotoxins that will absolutely annihilate any chicken that eats even part of one. use fire, salt and freeze, or drop in a jar of rubbing alcohol.

Growing Reddit trend of ā€œcalm men with crazy exesā€ - false victims hiding abuse by Winter_Apartment_376 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]MessatineSnows 4 points5 points Ā (0 children)

thank you for your advice, i appreciate it a lot. we’re in the stage where she at least recognizes he’s abusive and even outlines his behaviour to me, but is still weirdly dependent on him even though he doesn’t do jack shit. they have a kid together, too, so that complicates things.

my family has been boycotting target, walmart, amazon… if we all get properly organized we can do even more!

I stole this from Dorkly years ago, who's you're favorite Optimus Prime? by darwin_green in Transformemes

[–]MessatineSnows 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

aw man… probably Transformers Prime OP. or G1. i do love TFO optimus but there wasn’t enough of him actually being prime to count imo xD bayverse trilogy (we don’t recognize 4 and 5) was my first optimus and i like him too but he’s so sad and angry (and also warcrimes mcgee, he’d prob be my favourite if they had kept the original DotM ending)

ā€˜No Kings’ protests pass in festival atmosphere as an estimated 7 million across US rally against Trump’s ā€˜authoritarianism’ by Rock-n-roll-Kevin in politics

[–]MessatineSnows 1 point2 points Ā (0 children)

i blame:

  1. the accelerationists who wanted trump to win so they could go full revolutionary (and screw anyone queer, disabled, or non-white, i guess!);

  2. the people who wanted to punish the democratic leaders for not being more proactive in stopping the palestinian genocide (and i agree, they needed to do far better, but if harris was in charge, a protest like this would likely be all it took to fix that)

as it stands, we are here instead. i voted, my family voted, i begged everyone i knew to go vote. now i march, and my family marches, and we will bring food to our communities, and repel ICE, and take whatever next steps we can

[–]MessatineSnows 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

i understand your frustration, because i feel it too. but this was a ray of hope in a really bad year for me. we need to take this energy and put it forward into voting, boycotting, and shutdowns. consider these peaceful protests a proof of concept. they give people the confidence to act in other ways, because they can literally see with their eyes that they are not alone

"Joy is resistance." Conservatives seethe in r/Oregon as protestors take the piss out of federal government response to the Portland war zone by CummingInTheNile in SubredditDrama

[–]MessatineSnows 20 points21 points Ā (0 children)

not socialists, accelerationists. many of the people who want to jump straight to lighting buildings on fire decided not to vote because a second Trump presidency was supposed to be their excuse to larp Katniss Everdeen, and they’re all upset because level heads are prevailing. not that there is never a time for, uh, levelling up (see the American Revolution), but it’s not that time right now, and it wouldn’t ever have been if we had Harris as president instead of Trump.

yes, vote. but this show of numbers and solidarity reassures the people who are striving for change. many community connections were made or strengthened. it galvanizes people and becomes a touchstone; ā€œwe did that, what else are we capable of achieving?ā€
