In relation to this, thinking about a new community for Political Activism. Calls to action, that kind of thing.

The rules would be super simple:

  1. Purpose is for protest organizing. [Country, City, State]

  2. Absolutely no calls for violent action.

  3. No links to fundraisers. Too rife for fraud and abuse. Stories about fundraisers would be fine, but no GoFundMes, etc.

Think there’s room for PolticalActivism?

    Mockery doesn’t change reality. You’re free to assign labels and cast moral judgments, but that doesn’t turn disagreement into fascism or debate into weakness. If you want to discuss ideas instead of trading insults, that’s a conversation I can have. Otherwise, this is just performance.

      Honestly, folk around here don’t like your fascist fuckery. I bet you’d be well received in the White House press room where you belong, Mr. Vance. Barring that, the sack of makeup and Diet Coke you keep in the Oval Office has a platform called Truth Social, where you can advocate for people getting shot by ICE all day long.

      Fuck off.

        You can scream “fascist” all day, but that doesn’t turn assumptions into facts or social media outrage into evidence.
