Five-minute actions, day 1

[rosefox]

Going to try to track my activist efforts here, to help myself get and stay in the habit of taking a small action every day.

Today I used resistbot to urge my reps to close ICE's internment camps. You can too: text "SIGN PLTDJP" or "RESIST" to 50409, or DM "RESIST" to Resistbot.

i love ResistBot so much. i am also entertained that the Bot now has some pat (and polite) responses when people tell it "thank you" after using it for a political action.

[rosefox]

Resistbot is the best.

I also did this. :)

[rosefox]

Yay!

Good idea. I was also pondering the other day what would happen if we just demanded that they post pictures of all the kids they "can't" connect with their parents, to let their parents self identify?

[rosefox]

Hm, I feel like there would be significant privacy concerns there, and nothing really stopping someone from saying "Oh, that kid is mine!" when they're not.

[netmouse]

yeah, you'd want to make people jump through a registration process in order to even see the pictures, but beyond that, I mean, wouldn't a genetic test be a pretty decent safeguard?

[rosefox]

Yes, but also intrusive... I really don't know the best way for this to be managed!
