People talk about the 300k+ Black women who have lost their jobs as if they are statistics for their research projects and I’m here to remind yall, we are real ass people feeling the effects of it. In our homes, quality of life and well-being.

To those of you in this boat with me, I see you. 💙

Because focusing on “Is our country a fascist country?” is really a question of “How much ethnic cleansing/secret policing/enslavement/etc. can we say is acceptable?”

The answer should be “none.”

The question of “how many fascist government actions make a country a fascist country?” is a semantics distraction.

The real question is “Is the country doing fascist things?”

If the answer to that is yes, we need to be focusing on how to stop them.

NEW: Multiple media outlets - and Senator @johnfetterman.com - are claiming that left-wing terrorism has hit a "30 year high".

That's not what the data says. They're lying.
www.peoplesline.org/p/the-left-t...

The "left terrorism hits 30-year high" headlines are a lie

A new study has the media inaccurately reporting on a statistical fluctuation in left-wing terrorism.

Don’t automatically assume that your elected officials will do the right thing because we know that half of them won’t and may try to capitulate under pressure. Call your elected officials and be a constant, unceasing pain in their ass. You elected them to work for you not the other way around.

hey, cis people. we need you to call every single elected official you've got, now.

Don’t let the internet fool you. I was at a protest for trans kids yesterday an HOUR south of Seattle, and it was HUGE. And there was a cacophony of drivers beeping in support.

I could not believe it. Because I spend too much online and figured it’s a lost cause.

This is very true, and also, disabled people have been feeling this for quite a while, including on a huge scale since 2020 as we've learned just how expendable our lives are the second that we inconvenience capitalism

We really can’t understate the psychic toll of knowing that the United States government is trying to kill as many people as possible
