Before we get all 'The Sky is Falling' with Alt-Right knuckleheads migrating to specific instances that cater to them, remember:

1. The block feature actually works here and should be used liberally if you see bad faith arguers or worse.

2. Instance-level personal blocks can be executed on the web client by going to the user, opening the additional […] menu and clicking 'Hide all from this instance'.

3. Petition your local moderating team to ban and suspend instances outright. We'll listen!

A good number of telemarketers are incarcerated people working for pennies while on work release.

Next time you accidentally pick up one of these calls, tell whoever's on the other end about the Incarcerated Workers Organizing Committee.

I have disdain for those who believe voting is the only praxis we have and therefore voting is mandatory.

No, Rahm Emanuel in Chicago is not running another term because protestors protested in fron't of his house daily. Republican scum in red states caved to teacher's demands because of wildcat strikes.

Direct mass action that makes the lives of the powerful worse is more meaningful than any vote you make.

For years now, prisons have been doing medical trials on inmates, making medical advancements faster. A new promising drug for memory loss began testing in the prison you guard. All was going well, however, one inmate started acting weird, he wasn't getting sick or better. He's getting smarter.

Rick: Wait a minute
Me: Native Americans should buy guns to drive off the white imperialists who RICK WHERE ARE YOU GOING I AGREE WITH YOU
