  1. I was supposed to nod.
    To take the deal.
    To play it safe,
    smile tight,
    stay grateful for scraps.

    I was supposed to say yes.

    Yes to the job that guts me.
    Yes to the rules that erase me.
    Yes to shrinking
    until I disappeared between invoices and shame.

    But I didn’t.
    I said no.

    And god, it tasted like oxygen.

    No to your deadlines.
    No to your dress codes.
    No to your passive-aggressive policies
    written in suits and spit.

    I said no,
    and the world didn’t end.

    It cracked open.

    Turns out
    saying no isn’t weakness.
    It’s birth.
    It’s the first word of building something better.

    You don’t own me.
    Not my body,
    not my time,
    not my rage.

    You don’t get my back bent.
    You don’t get my silence.
    You don’t get to call me broken
    for not fitting into your machine.

    I am not broken.
    I am unfitting on purpose.
    And that’s power.

    There’s joy in this.
    In saying no and meaning it.
    In walking out of your office,
    your church,
    your family dinner,
    with my head up and my spine intact.

    No is not bitter.
    No is not cold.
    No is holy.

    No is the beat in the protest song.
    No is the breath before the first brick flies.
    No is survival turned sacred.

    I don’t owe you sweetness.
    I don’t owe you comfort.
    I owe myself the truth.
    And today, the truth is:

    No.

    No to your world
    built on obedience and debt.
    No to your cages
    painted as careers.
    No to your love
    that comes with conditions and curfews.

    I’d rather be alone in the open
    than safe in your lie.

    So here I am.
    Not asking.
    Not apologizing.
    Laughing.

    Louder than I was ever allowed to.

  2. USA parents with kids who are of age to be drafted - please fight back & if needed, look to get your kids into hiding to avoid being drafted.
    Please, US folks - help your fellow citizens from agreeing to be deployed to commit war crimes for Trump/Netanyahu. I am BEGGING, please do everything you can 🙏

    #USpol #Resist #DoNotComply #WarSurvivorsForPeace #StopWar #SayNO

  3. I support #DraftDodgers if they're doing so because they don't believe in wars & want to work at creating more peace.
    I don't support draft dodgers who don't work at creating peace & send others to sacrifice their lives for dirty, illegal wars - like the current PedorapistPOTUS.

  4. @dougiec3

    Attention: Active duty US military - Trump fucks over veterans, repeatedly. He has never respected veterans. HamburgerHitler only exploits some military brass for PR.
    If you don't resist deployments to commit war crimes for TumericTyrant - he will still treat you like crap, after. That's if you even make it back alive & not in a body bag.

  5. You're doing it!

  6. If a platform requires you scan your eyeball as a proof of humanity to keep your account, you do not have to do it.

    You do have a choice.

    You can, and you should, say no.

  7. ...oh no! those poor soldiers that "have2" keep repeatedly and constantly commiting genocidal atrocities without an end in sight! ....alas! their poor innocent #mentalhealth 🤮 😵‍💫

    you're a free person, ya saw what was happening, ya chose to carry on.

    4those not yet drafted, its simple

  8. 🎯 Beto O'Rourke:
    "And notably, in the Senate those #Democrats standing strong included both hardline progressives in safe seats (#BernieSanders) and more moderate members in battleground states (#JonOssoff). But at the 11th hour, this emerging unity was betrayed by Democratic Senate leadership that seeks to appease #Trump in the false hope of a better political fight down the road."

  9. Also, can we PLEASE normalize people feeling #anxiety about going out and about at this #politicallycharged time?

    If YOU do not feel #SAFE going out to an event because of #politics, it's OK to #SayNo.

    Talk to the people near to you. Explain what your feelings are, and don't feel shame or guilt about not going. While it's sometimes good to push boundaries and be brave, it's not okay to put yourself into a dangerous place just to keep friends and family happy.

    I've lost friends before because I wasn't willing to go to an event and called out. They weren't willing to listen to my concerns and/or dismissed them. You don't need that kind of friendship, and neither did I.

  10. At least boycott the appearances of this man who arranged to meet a 12-year-old child on Facebook
    drugged her with alcohol and then raped her

    Boycott
    Turns off the TV
    Don't watch the games where he appears
    Don't go to the stadium when he plays

    I beg you

    Say NO

    It cannot and must not go on like this
    We must, we humans must finally say NO

    simply

    NO

    8/8

  11. Do you think that's good?

    What is actually going on in this world?

    Say no, I beg you

    Celebrate the Olympic Games day and night
    But not him

    Let him live his life, but if you cheer for him, you violate the dignity of this child with every clap.

    Sport has nothing to do with this act but we should celebrate athletes and not child rapists

    NO
    Simply
    NO

    4/8

  12. #SayNO #BoycottNestle

    #Nestle will market a new, US$5 line of frozen pizzas & protein-enriched pastas in #UnitedStates which it says it designed specifically for people taking drugs such as #Wegovy or #Ozempic for weight loss.

    The world's biggest food company, which sells #DiGiorno pizza & #Stouffer's meals to major grocers, developed new products with more protein, iron & calcium for people taking the wildly popular appetite-suppressing drugs, called GLP-1 agonists.

  13. CW: news on CSAM

    #Europol 8/3/2024: "57 men arrested for possessing & sharing over 100k depictions of #CSAM":
    europol.europa.eu/media-press/

    👍 "Officers learned how to carry out targeted investigations against perpetrators"

    👍 "Additionally, Europol's #SayNo ! … campaign… educates #parents, children, and #teachers on … risks and provides guidance on reporting & prevention …"

    ➡️ That's the #DemocraticWay to go. No need for general / indiscriminate #DataRetention / #MassSurveillance / #chatcontrol & Co.

  14. The blog post in here is very good. Forget Meta Threads taking your data. The far bigger problem is them forcing other instances out of the game by oveloading them with bandwidth from users, adverts, bots and propaganda.
