They have been. Legacy media just isn't reporting on it.
A lot of indie media isn't either.
Lot of negativity going around.
Post anything #StarTrek that cheers you up 🖖

We have plenty of precedent for the government trying to shut down dissent. But in the end, the goons and guns did not prevail.

Consumer buying power goes back to the 1890s when women took it upon themselves to use their buying power. Learn the history here and how it effected change. Let’s use our buying power this TG weekend and not shop at Amazon, Target, and Home Depot, but instead support local business. #WeAintBuyingIt

🧵 It's short so plz read & boost. 💜
They never do, that's why.
There's no upside for men to stick up for their women colleagues & so we never expect it to happen. It's fucked up, but it's reality. Welcome to our world... ish... 🤷♀️
I'm not going to do it by myself, but all 300+M of us together could do it. Build community. Ds, Independents & everyone who's not fash getting together could remake the country into one worth living in.
Or, you know, just keep talking shit & doing nothing, it's your choice 🤷♀️
They will if we make it clear that we won't accept anything less.
All the male reporters who've stood by & refused to push back s/b ashamed. Full stop
But that's the thing - men are told from birth women are lesser, so they don't even think about it. TFG says what they think & that's why he gets away with it. It's been normalized since the dawn of time. 🤷♀️
It's sickening, what American men will stand & watch other men say & do to women. And they have the nerve to expect any woman to fuck them...
I rearrange my entire life to keep away from as many men as possible & will never stop
I'll believe it if I ever see it. Men talk a big game online, but don't say shit IRL.
Release the files, piggy.
And not one man said anything? Not one word?
Why am I not surprised... I keep hearing about those unicorns that are "good men" but I'm not sure I've ever seen one IRL. They must be partying with the Easter Bunny & the Tooth Fairy.
Works for me!! 🏆
“Short bursts indicate an ICE sighting. Long whistles indicate agents making arrests. If you hear the whistle and you’re undocumented, said [Whitney Hu, a community activist and organizer with South Brooklyn Mutual Aid], ‘you hide. And if you’re somebody who’s not, you go to the street.’”
I'm guessing pay him off with oil. Or a US oil company will buy his crypto...
Thank you! I have a looooong way to go, but it's a fun pattern. 💙
Okay, Trek nerds...post a picture from your first #StarTrek movie! 🖖🎬
Spent my babysitting money to see it a few times in the theater in 1979. 💛💙♥️🖖
Early sections of my Farpoint shawl: the gray point that echoes the Starfleet delta, dark gray rows & science-blue with stars worked in. Above the blue is a black band all ready for rank pips-it will have 3, for Lt. Commander Beverly Crusher. 💙
My #Farpoint shawl is coming along! I've already leveled up since Sat & now I'm on the row with the pips, so it's time to learn bobbles!
I'll be wearing this at #STLV next summer in my photo with Gates McFadden 😻😻😻
Loving this pattern & the yarns!
#KnitSky #Knitting #StarTrek
Surfing Ravelry & daydreaming about what I could make with an exceptionally beautiful cake of yarn is more satisfying than casting on a new project.
