It's important to pay attention to what's happening, but don't waste your energy on the amplified clown show. That's what they want. Save your outrage for the actions truly deserving of it.29 Jan 2025 17:12 +0000at://did:plc:zeqrmcy433guiciwfflrobrn/app.bsky.feed.post/3lgvhpybwvc2shttps://bsky.app/profile/handle.invalid/post/3lgcf5eytas2sThe best girl.22 Jan 2025 03:06 +0000at://did:plc:zeqrmcy433guiciwfflrobrn/app.bsky.feed.post/3lgcf5eytas2shttps://bsky.app/profile/handle.invalid/post/3lgbtggc6gs2qIgnore what they say, tweet, the dog-whistle gestures, the baiting and trollspeak. It's lies and distraction. Save your outrage for what they do. That's what hurts people, and what will need to be undone when this kakistocracy inevitably comes crashing down.
