@th3j35t3r wait... did he spray stuff on his head?!?! 🧐😂🤣
What our friends and relatives who scoff at us don't understand is that we haven't just lost an election.
We've lost our future.
I hope you remember that future: The one where people of all forms of gender expression, all colors, all nationalities, all religions, could meet as equals without having to kneel to another; where our method was peace, and our aim was the fulfilment of every human being according to their scope and talents;

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
Don't be someone else's reason for staying on corporate social media.
Everytime I see mention of the likely GOP 'trifecta' I think "yeah, you mean quadfecta--they have SCOTUS locked up too".
My paternal grandfather had to run a complex banking scam to show he was much better off financially than he actually was in order to buy his fiancé's freedom from the Nazis (she was being held in Gurs concentration camp in France). My maternal grandfather was a civilian who taught WW2 radio operators. Neither was a veteran, but they both fought against fascism in their own way.
They'd be ashamed of us today.
"This has never worked, and it never will. This closed loop can only be broken if we reject profit as the sole driver of our society. Until then, anything that threatens profit – whether it is human rights, the climate crisis, or any other inconvenient truth, will sooner or later be paved over and replaced with a new amusement park.
This is how global capital today continues to break both real democracy and social movements."
