-> file: fediverse/4499 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────── Portland in the modern era gives me pre-revolution Philly vibes. Seattle, Boston. New York, SFC. And not JUST because of their relative locations, but somehow that helps a bit. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/4500 ╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────┐ ║ ┌─────────────────────────────────────┐ │ ║ │ CW: cursing-mentioned-CW-motivation │ │ ║ └─────────────────────────────────────┘ │ ║ │ ║ │ ║ I try to always CW for cursing.

There were national guard on the streets of Philly after the first weekend. Which I'm sure you know of course, but I think having seen what happens the military will be more likely to resist. They got their hands full. They don't want to have to deal with his bullshit, but I do believe they are ready to if they need to. They protect the constitution, the people, and the land. If we do not harm those things, we're (probably) clear from their sights. At this stage, I advocate against "broken window" riots. I'm also mostly against protests, because it's clear that nobody with power is listening. I do however believe in the radicalizing potential of mass civil movements and the energy that physical presence can bring, which I believe in MARCHES and PARADES more than protests and riots. We need those windows too... ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/4502 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────── ┌────────────────────────────────┐ │ CW: radical-politics-mentioned │ └────────────────────────────────┘ If you're radical enough to consider yourself "antifa" then you are probably working as hard as you can. I wouldn't ask you to do more. We must demand that others work for our future as well. It is unreasonable to demand so much of us. We must be funded and supported if we are to mobilize, and we must have the freedom to move and organize if we are to contest our enemies. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/4504 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────── if you have kids in your life it might be a good idea to check out these retro gaming handhelds: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1irg60f9qsZOkhp0cwOU7Cy4rJQeyusEUzTNQzhoT YTU/edit?gid=0#gid=0 they're great for long car trips, or going camping, or staying at grandma's house for an extended period of time, and other interesting times like that. I hear Anbernic has a sale going on today. Also I recommend going for one that runs Linux if possible, the Android ones are less hackable and therefore less reliable. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: messages/636 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────── [Video: 20241111_045439.mp4] ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: messages/637 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────── [Image: 20241111_045712.jpg] ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────┴───────────┘ |
