My partner dreamt last night about an Order 66 for progressives & leftists, and it's not as far off from reality as I would hope. Decades of far-right propaganda have people like this coming onto my post about migrants and saying (falsely) that we deserve death under a 1798 law.

In the coming years, we are gonna have to join forces with the rest of the working class, regardless of if we like them personally or not.

It's not Left vs Right, it's Us vs Them

This book was sooo cute!
Has anyone else read Maya's Laws of Love by Alina Khawaja?!
A 1st grade teacher heads to Pakistan for her ~*sort of*~ arranged marriage, then gets stranded mid travel, her travel plans continue to go awry, next to a handsome grumpy stranger.
Very cute! I enjoyed it! #books

To protest the TT ban & the corporate oligarchs who control our speech & data via X & Meta, we're deleting our X/Meta accounts on Jan 19th, day before Inauguration Day. If you absolutely CAN'T delete an account, choose to delete your apps for the 1st week of Trump's reign.
Join us. #revolutionishere
