There are times when I read toots (and headlines), and I think the world is such a #shitshow that I may as well pull the blankets over my head and give up. Then I read toots how folks are #fightingback and not giving up and I feel that I should stay involved in some way, even it it's "only" a #boost. I guess that's how humanity has survived all these years.

We're being tested by the kings of the seas. They're pissed. And they're not going to take it any more.

And really, who could blame them?

What the @ThomHartmann 's of the world don't understand is that there are no #elite saviors to fight back against #fascism because the elite ALL see democracy as a failure. #Republican, or #Democrat, it doesn't matter.

The elite democrats are part of the performance, never taking the actions necessary when they have power. Rather, they fundraise from the "emergency" while achieving nothing of substance. Because they are elites. It's one big club, and it's called a club because they use that club to smash you over the head and keep you servient to their whims.

WE, the people, have to be prepared to create the substantive changes to protect OUR democracy. That will likely mean #FightingBack in the streets because there is no white hat cavalry riding to the rescue. WE have to form our own clubs, so we can hit back at elite power. Our clubs have to be bigger, because theirs have more power.

So, plan ahead. Prepare accordingly. If you're not an #ArmedLeftist, you increase the risk of us all being dead #Leftists. Join leftist clubs and make plans to dismantle #ElitePower.

@carlbeijer @JefferyBezos One final note, please see my pinned post below.

You're making arguments to an attorney who is well versed in rooting out sophistry in all its forms -- and your response is specious.

It attempts to deflect attention from what you fully understand the problem is. In a word: #Solidarity.

So, please don't get your back up just because someone is making arguments that cast you in a less than appealing light.

I'm on your side -- not your enemy. But I'm also most definitely on the side of those who choose the #fediverse in protest of #capitalism in all its forms. And I #FightBack

WE, on #Mastodon, are #collectively #FightingBack.

Please watch this video and read Erin's full account of this hearing. #transpeople and #parentsoftrans and #allies #fightingback !
"The meeting finished with two anti-drag bills that would define transgender people or “people dressed opposite of their assigned sex at birth” as doing drag. The bills then would ban drag anywhere that is not a strip club."

Absolute scenes in the garden this morning as a dunnock has decided it's bored feeding on the ground and will now use the bird table. Robin, being the garden bully, decides to have a go.
Normally shy dunnock goes for it.
Later: Robin waits on garden chair for dunnock to finish, before taking second turn. #FightingBack #PassingTimeWithLongCovid #GardenBirds #Birdwatching #Dunnock
