- Reposted by Jenn M-Sthe other day someone asked me, “so what do we do about it, burn it all down?” I said, “finding higher quality candidates to run for local office might help” He reacted with a bunch of reasons that’s not going to happen if you can’t recruit a candidate you aren’t surviving a revolution, sorry

- Reposted by Jenn M-SI love this trilogy so much! So inspirational for what we're going through. Read these books, y'all.
- In 2020 @totallydonna.kitrocha.com & I started a trilogy about 3 book nerds (w/ superpowers) who just want to build a library for their community but shitty tech bros suck so they have to keep doing crimes. Tor was kind enough to put book one on sale for $5.99! www.kitrocha.com/book/deal-wi...

- Reposted by Jenn M-SBrian Kilmeade from Fox literally just said out loud that ICE pulled out of Maine to protect Susan Collins’ re‑election campaign. I can’t believe he would just admit that.

- Reposted by Jenn M-Sone of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things
- Reposted by Jenn M-SGonna write this up at more length. But if you believe Trump's goons will not follow the law, if you believe Trump will reverse November's election. Your job is NOT to doom monger. It is to treat people-in-the-streets as the one remaining measure.

- Reposted by Jenn M-SI need people to ask before posting. Questions like: do you think I'm too stupid to know that they're trying to make 2 grams of plastic illegal? Do you think I'm unaware that they're charging people maliciously? Is the point here that you think I need to be in fight or flight mode?
- Reposted by Jenn M-SSo uh. I've spent the last five years working on a book about grief, mourning, who is allowed to grieve and how, and where we go from here, and... you can now preorder it!
- Reposted by Jenn M-SI should not have to say this but if you are a legal observer your job is not to go snitch on any and all illegal things. Your job is SPECIFICALLY AND EXCLUSIVELY to record law enforcement brutality, illegality, and overreach. It is ABSOLUTELY NOT to snitch on protests you find too spicy.
- Reposted by Jenn M-SI’m not a huge hunter any more, but more people should have contact with how this planet turns into food, because it’s kinda disgusting. Even if you’re just eating veggies. Turns out, there’s a whole lot of dirt and excrement involved.
- Reposted by Jenn M-SPlease speak up for Rodney. A year in an ICE camp is beyond comprehension. Public pressure works. If enough people speak up, a life may be saved. Many of the deaths in ICE custody have been due to medical neglect… let’s make sure Rodney isn’t one of them.

- Reposted by Jenn M-SImportant context for those blessedly not in the know: these aren't just any MAHA 'farmers.' Hannah Neeleman of Ballerina Farm is the single most successful marketer of tradwife content on the planet right now.
- This is bonkers. MAHA 'farmers' with ecoli tainted raw milk admit they really don't know how to make the stuff after all. "Producing raw milk takes careful planning from a facility and infrastructure standpoint. Unfortunately, we learned this after the fact." people.com/ballerina-fa...
- Reposted by Jenn M-Ssince I re-upped my blocks on one and don't know who the other guy even is, please know I'm saying this 100% with zero context of the details of this situation... but god is this a pattern I have seen a lot over the years, and have been thinking about even more over the past couple weeks.
- Reposted by Jenn M-SGrowing up as a kid in the 80's I can confirm all of this thread. Every commercial break had those ads. This music, and that Christmas song "Do They Know It's Christmas?" which I renamed "I'm Dreaming of a white Savior Christmas" That song is...yikes... It was a lot, and a lot to unlearn...
- Of course Ballerina Farm is involved with raw milk.

- Reposted by Jenn M-SWe named the kittens. I wasn't going to name anyone - leaving that for their permanent foster carer, but after we lost Peach yesterday, it seemed unfair to not give them names. (There are captions)
- Reposted by Jenn M-S“I was just following orders” is neither a moral nor, in many cases, a legal defense. Sadly, this does have to be said it seems. I’m thinking of ICE. And I’m thinking of church leaders, too. Lord, have mercy.

- Reposted by Jenn M-SThere's a point, well below a billion dollars, where the amount of money you have lets you rid yourself of anyone who can be a check on your worst impulses, and replace them with people who tell you those worst impulses are somehow valorous. Rare is the billionaire with someone to tell them "no."
