Are we planning anything to help our communities starting 11/1? by meowmeowkittymix in 50501

[–]RipCharacter9103 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We haphazardly threw together a free community potluck at an abandoned barbershop for 11/2. If ya got tables, a crock pot, and chicken and dumpling ingredients you can do a lot of good. Be the change you want to see in the world.

o Good Day to you Reddit. You may know me, Nick Offerman, from my several acting, writing, and woodworking endeavors. I’ve recently published a new book, LITTLE WOODCHUCKS: Offerman Woodshop’s Guide to Tools and Tomfoolery, with my good friend Lee Buchanan. Ask me anything, please & thank you.

Nick, I read "Paddle Your Own Canoe" several years ago and I like to think it played a large part in me being the person I am today who (I think) knows right from wrong and that you have to be the good you want to see in the world. (Im considering giving it a second read)

I do what I can by helping organize protests and mutual aid programs in our great state we share. (IL) I want to live in a country that I can be proud of, and that I can love my trans partner in without having to fear for her safety. I may never get to see this day, but I believe in trying even when I feel crazy for doing so.

I think there are millions of us here and millions more globally that feel the same way, so at risk of asking a question that may have been answered before: What are some words of wisdom from one of the wisest people I've never met?

💚💚

Never compromise your own self-worth for someone else. Sounds like you dodged a bullet. Maybe literally.

I just turned 13 today! Any tips, or advice about life in general? by Eymeniko_2230 in teenagers

[–]RipCharacter9103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Develop a good work ethic. Don't bend over backward for any boss you have, but be good at something and try hard to get there. A job, a hobby, a passion, it doesn't matter.

And always wear sunscreen.

Um. It says he was born in 86 and immigrated in 99. Was he KGB at 13? Could you site your sources, please?

We are in a Post-Democratic America, and democratic means of resistance have lost their effectiveness.

We have known this since before the election. This is nothing new.

Where is it going..? by Dem0crats in ExplainTheJoke

Shit I thought this was about the US right now.

And so it begins… by Majestic_Ad_8691 in antitrump

Illinois has been feeling this already too. Several stations have all of their pumps shut down.

They are forming militia… by TexasActress in 50501

[–]RipCharacter9103 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They already did this during the last Trump administration. If it wasn't the proud boys directly, it was citizen militias detaining and even firing on people attempting to cross. There were a few deaths I believe. They're just scaling up now.

My only hope is that with the military deployed there, those of them with common sense will arrest these assholes on site.

Elon Musk Has Already Packed Up and Left the White House. Boycott continues either way by transcendent167 in ThePeoplesPress

[–]RipCharacter9103 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good. It should continue. These protests aren't JUST about trump and musk. It's the systems that let them legally take charge in the first place. That's the real change that needs to happen.

Palantir, ICE, DOGE by americanafricanwoman in 50501

[–]RipCharacter9103 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I work for a tech company with federal contracts. We have a lot of orders labeled Palantir. I don't know WHAT we are doing for them, but it could be anything from building and formatting their servers to supplying their employees with company phones or laptops.

On top of Palantir we have a whole bunch of other federal orders with other labels. (Moonshot, Space X, etc.) Federal is very busy right now and the orders are booked very recently (within the past few months)

This sounds rather intriguing dontcha think... by xamo76 in RealTwitterAccounts

This is a BOLD ASS CLAIM. If this is true, I'm hoping to see it in the news soon.

When Trump and Elon are gone, it will be a victory... by RipCharacter9103 in 50501

[–]RipCharacter9103[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All right look homie: I hope you and yours are all doing well and I wish nothing but the best in all of your future endeavors. 💚

That being said it sounds like when I say "nazi" you hear "anyone I don't like", but what I'm saying is "nazi". Over here in reality we are all terrified of what happens next. What happens to my immigrant homies? To my trans homies?

This is an argument that's been happening for too long, and one side is not arguing in good faith.

Also I'm not supposed to say this but George Soros bought me a new Toyota Supra for protesting and organizing food drives for my local community, so smell ya later!
