Astrid Hammer @astridhammer.cryptoanarchy.network · 30/09/2026Excellent receipts! I’m reading the Veiled Prophet right now. I grew up in a community not too different from St. Louis. Just smaller. Some of this stuff sounds way too familiar to me. Such a good book. 021
Astrid Hammer @astridhammer.cryptoanarchy.network · 30/09/2026You can always blame it on Imperialism and Colonization if you want some variety. 120
Astrid Hammer @astridhammer.cryptoanarchy.network · 30/09/2026I agree. It certainly all feels like an ad. ‘Hey, we accessed this data.’ Later… ‘Since we have this data, we’ve created a bot that makes it easier to search!’ Even later… ‘Would you like to purchase this app to access your free data easier?’ 020

Astrid Hammer @astridhammer.cryptoanarchy.network · 04/07/2026They should be. I am. That they aren't means they learned nothing from the horrors we inflicted on Vietnam. 000
Astrid Hammer @astridhammer.cryptoanarchy.network · 03/07/2026I never said it was easy or simple. Wasn't for Nazi's either. Doing the right thing is often very hard. I come from a military family. I know exactly what I'm saying. My grandfather would be ashamed of these guys. Same as I am. 100
Astrid Hammer @astridhammer.cryptoanarchy.network · 02/07/2026I mean.. our prisons are just torture factories. The Nazi's were just collecting a paycheck, too. 1190
Astrid Hammer @astridhammer.cryptoanarchy.network · 02/07/2026Yes, you do. If you have any morals. 100
Astrid Hammer @astridhammer.cryptoanarchy.network · 25/06/2026They've had a year to say no. It's on them at this point. A German soldier in WWII was a Nazi even if they didn't like their orders. 1131
Astrid Hammer @astridhammer.cryptoanarchy.network · 25/06/2026Nah. Too much copaganda about how you have to lie to suspects to get them to confess. It'd never pass. Agree that if it did It'd just be ignored tho. 050
Astrid Hammer @astridhammer.cryptoanarchy.network · 25/06/2026Not quite all the way off. They're still saying 'globalism' like we don't know what they mean. 010

Astrid Hammer @astridhammer.cryptoanarchy.network · 23/06/2026Considering they just sentenced someone to 50+ years in federal prison for going to a protest with a zine - it should scare you that people believe this. Because anyone can be antifa for any reason and lose their freedom. We no longer have rights. Not funny. 0594
Astrid Hammer @astridhammer.cryptoanarchy.network · 23/06/2026My guess - exactly what’s happening in Chicago. Most of what ICE is doing flies under the radar because they stopped doing the shock and awe crap. People can’t respond to something that don’t know is happening. 000
Reposted by Astrid HammerAstrid Hammer @astridhammer.cryptoanarchy.network · 11/06/2026Chicago's priorities are fucked. Half the Southside is without power so folks are parked in weird places. So the city is out in force making sure they get that sweet ticket money. Who cares that the streets are impassable bc of downed trees. 011

Astrid Hammer @astridhammer.cryptoanarchy.network · 05/06/2026Nah, not wrong or stupid. I’m following the story and I totally get how you feel. If nothing else, it’s gotten a lot of new eyes on police misconduct. But that feels pretty hollow atm. 110

Astrid Hammer @astridhammer.cryptoanarchy.network · 24/05/2026There are more than 350,000 people there… but sure. You can’t race these cars on those straightaways into those corners in the rain unless you want dead drivers. 000
Astrid Hammer @astridhammer.cryptoanarchy.network · 24/05/2026Watching them have to help him out of the car and thinking about Grosjean’s F1 wreck… I don’t disagree. 010
Astrid Hammer @astridhammer.cryptoanarchy.network · 02/05/2026Yeah, fuck that. I feel old. We might have survived dial-up, but a lot of things, including tanning beds, killed us. Anxiety wears me down, it doesn’t fuel me. ‘Get ‘gangsta’? You sound like a racist white lady. 000
Astrid Hammer @astridhammer.cryptoanarchy.network · 30/04/2026Dude, religion is fine. It’s the Republicans espousing shitty versions of religion that are the problem. But also, make sure you know what someone is wearing before you accuse them of wearing it? Cause she’s not wearing a cross and this is an obnoxious comment. 030
Astrid Hammer @astridhammer.cryptoanarchy.network · 30/04/2026I mean. Yes. The rich and powerful can generally appeal until the rest of us are forced to give up. That's how our legal system works. 0140
Astrid Hammer @astridhammer.cryptoanarchy.network · 29/04/2026The thing about AI, is that if it’s done properly, it requires a background in writing and an understanding of systems. So, at some point, I think it’s likely that we see an uptick in the need to hire people who know how to use words. 000
Reposted by Astrid HammerFascist Dem Tracker @fascistdemtracker.bsky.social · 29/04/2026I also don't think we can ask for common people to run & then immediately ignore them for the crime of being thoughtful but poor. And literally the only way to fix that is to make it commonplace to donate to smaller campaigns so they can become larger. 141
Astrid Hammer @astridhammer.cryptoanarchy.network · 28/04/2026Yup, one thing at a time, friend. The cigarette’s’ll kill ya eventually, but the alcohol ruins your life. And this shit *waves arms around* is stressful as all hell. 020
Astrid Hammer @astridhammer.cryptoanarchy.network · 28/04/2026Languages are so much fun. This is a hilarious thread even when you have absolutely no idea what’s actually being said. 1282
Astrid Hammer @astridhammer.cryptoanarchy.network · 28/04/2026I follow the Bulwark so I know what they’re harping on this time. Apparently they’re hopping on the attack Hasan train based on the cover photo. 010
Astrid Hammer @astridhammer.cryptoanarchy.network · 27/04/2026Knowing that this is a systemic problem, and choosing to engage in the comparison anyway, means that one is perpetuating a racist system. It’s the constant, ongoing, comparisons to Asian countries while forgetting that western countries engage in the exact same behaviors that’s the problem. 000
Astrid Hammer @astridhammer.cryptoanarchy.network · 27/04/2026You can’t view that single act alone. It’s a known problem that white people in the west have a knee jerk response that causes us to make North Korea comparisons w/o stopping to think if there are any western comparisons that would do. 100

Astrid Hammer @astridhammer.cryptoanarchy.network · 27/04/2026People get baffled at Chicago beaches too! One of my things for leaving California was that I loved the beaches and water. So it had to be Chicago. Now I’m a 20 minute bus from the beach. It’s great. 010
Astrid Hammer @astridhammer.cryptoanarchy.network · 27/04/2026Faraday bags. Have phone for emergency but it doesn’t collect data. 000
Astrid Hammer @astridhammer.cryptoanarchy.network · 27/04/2026It was a bad analogy. Go be an ass to someone else. 000
Astrid Hammer @astridhammer.cryptoanarchy.network · 26/04/2026People who don’t want to be associated with an event don’t stop to pose in front of signage for said event. I’d not have gone near this nonsense and I certainly wouldn’t have stopped if I’d had to be in the vicinity for something else. 020
Astrid Hammer @astridhammer.cryptoanarchy.network · 26/04/2026This was a fascist celebration. You can’t strip an event of context and then apply ethics. If the marathon was in celebration of a fascist, then yes, going to pre and post events is ethically as bad as going to the event itself. 190

Astrid Hammer @astridhammer.cryptoanarchy.network · 26/04/2026He was caught at the security perimeter. The other option was to check the luggage of every guest checking into the hotel. We don’t want that. There’s no individualized solution to this or security solution that would keep everyone safe. Our society must change. 061
Astrid Hammer @astridhammer.cryptoanarchy.network · 26/04/2026Yeah, Daily Beast Editor is having a panic attack in the form of words on a page. He’s desperately grasping for a sense of certainty - the way people do after traumatic events. The problem is that he has a huge platform and he’s wrong. 031
