Scroll on if you don't want to read it, I won't shame ya over it, sibs.

Good on you dude, for speaking up and out on the main issue that has been driving the cases that overruled Roe Vs. Wade, and harmed millions of lives not just in this decade but the decades in the past too.
1/OH gods here we go again.
The fact he's calling out the problematic system we are living in, in a clear effort to push for the democratic process to proceed and function AS IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN, is fucking awesome, okay? This is great news from Hollywood, but what of the rest of the nation, I don't know how others will respond to his manifesto, but I appreciate the time and effort it put into wording my deepest fears and feelings and addressing them with a sound mind.
2/Hoo boy...I'm not sure how long this'll grow okay?
The fact he's calling it out for what it fucking is, racism, white supremacy, the war against women/fem bodies in general, he painted it all in a stark black and white picture in print that I cannot go without stating is bold, but clearly written.
I know where my feelings are with white supremacy, NO FRITH! NO GRITH! This is a tenant I refuse to release no matter what path I walk. 3/I can explain Frith and Grith, one moment.
Frith and Grith both share a similar meaning in peace in the old norse tongue. The differences in the terms are in how long that peace is. White supremacy is a plague, it sickens the heart, it rots the mind, it infects and infests the people around us if we don't speak out about it, and when we don't act on it, it continues as an endless cycle of hate that harms, maims and kills innocent people.
4/So that's explained, more coming, hang onto your seats.
So I call for a HAIL to the AESIR and the VANIR to watch over Micheal Moore and empower his words to his work and give him the strength to bring his words to life. We need people speaking out like him in high standing. Whether in filmmaking, or bit parts. Your voices make a difference, keep speaking out and make them face their own fears. 7/7
For those that wish to read the declaration: You may find it here. https://www.michaelmoore.com/p/my-declaration #CoSoPolitics #CoSoHollywood
The fact he's speaking out on not just white supremacy, but the war on reproductive rights? That takes some serious fucking balls for a public celebrity to do and I respect the hell out of this man for that. Bear in mind, it takes a fuck ton to move me to like a celeb of any kind. Exceptions with Jester, but he knows and understands the reasonings for that, and if he doesn't, he's welcome to DM to inquire.
6/7 Phew, almost done.
