If the WH, Senate,House had gone blue we’d be drinking mimosas at brunch and talking about how great reproductive rights, healthcare, education and social safety nets are.
They win and they’re like “okay who do I rape first and how can I get my neighbor deported?”

Everybody has a role as we respond to the election and anticipate the changes to come.
Some folks will educate
Others will whip up energy for protest and resistance
Many will share fun distractions
And others will offer comfort or simple stability
Asking again to please not judge how folks cope and how they express themselves here—people may be doing more than surmised from their posting.
Give grace, receive grace, and use the resources for your benefit.

FFS we need an emergency Rage Against the Machine tour stat.
“You must pay reprehensible organizations and people” is a fucking banger policy there Marc.
In fact screw it, Dolly 2028. Lets fucking gooooo
No matter how bad it gets, we have Dolly Parton.
Be like Dolly.

Well, it looks as if the Empire has struck back, destroying the rebel base on Hoth and regaining dominance of the galaxy just a few years after the Death Star was destroyed. With many anxious about Palpatine’s resurgence, I, a columnist for the Trade Federation Gazette, am here to tell you that a second Death Star won’t be as bad as some are making it out to be. https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/heres-why-a-second-death-star-wont-be-that-bad

Why go Pro?
Beyond giving you access to a bunch of useful features, Pro subscribers are what keeps this place running ad-free. #CoSoTips
One other thing, wherever you are online or offline, do not engage with a #MAGA troll. Their food is a sandwich made from anger and attention.

Our household no longer uses cloud services. We have our own cloud box in our basement that we control.
That box can connect to other people's boxes that have their own setup as well.
I don't connect to the suspicious federations that @th3j35t3r doesn't, for similar reasons. But I can connect and share with other people using similar software.
Consider taking your stuff out of big tech, where it can be rifled through by government thugs.
Skepchick is fucking fantastic. You should check her out. Videos are transcribed for those who would need that.

I used to do this every month but I got lax. It's more important now with recent changes in the world.
#CoSo is free. But things like computing, storage, bandwidth, etc... take money. It doesn't have ad revenue or an algorithm to force-feed you sponsored content. And that's pretty great.
Not everyone can pitch in and there's no judgement there. Just keep being great. But those of us who can you should consider going #CoSoPro.
Other social media sites have proven they won't do what we do here.
For my friends out there, you should watch this short clip about how to interact with hostile authorities. For... reasons...
Also remember that you should consider any device an unsecured device, regardless of encryption.
I have obviously failed at my statement. Because you are all so nice and interesting.
Going to cut off for the evening, but a parting thought.
If we are to get through this it is because we are WE.
We are the queer, the disabled, the PoC, the women, the lesbian, gay, trans and the NBs. We are the poor, the white cis men and women allies. We are the immigrants, the orphans, the sick, the ignored and the pierced and tattooed freaks. More than I could list.
Their identity is one man.
Our identity and power is all the amazing things WE are.
And it’s so much more than he is.

Hey New Eggs-
This place is different. Ask questions. We’re usually nice here if you are. Use hashtags liberally
Sorry, no algorithm here. You’ll have to go exploring to find cool people. It won’t be that hard. It throws people off but it’s better really.
Create filters. Block people you don’t like. Follow those you do. No bots. No ads.
If you find you like it here, go #CoSoPro so we can keep the lights on.
