I needed to hear this. Maybe you need to hear this too.

We are living in a dissociative state, because the STATE is dissociative!

But you are still good and great and kind and a rebel. You're a hero for living in this shitshow

Rock star. One day at a time, right? I’m right there with you. Here’s to looking them in the eye and knowing we’re going to win. We’re going to win. This beauty can’t be beat. ❤️

There are more of these? I didn’t know that. I don’t think I wanted to know that Jesus Christ. No no no no no. This is the hellscaoe timeline and I hate this shit.

Might I suggest you remove Google from your schools. The Chromebook scam has turned our kids inside out.

iisawell @iisawell.bsky.social · 15h

That is a very good point.

And they’ll somehow have to find all the money that was “spent” to pay for putting the country back together. We’re not going to be able to go back. We can only go forward. We need to be thinking bigger and more creatively, and I think much of this will happen in the interim within states. 🤞

I love this clip so much. Excellent strategy. Say your truth and stop. So good! Bravo.

I’m not sure what this means for us as bystanders. I’m not sure what to do with this information. I’m happy to say I haven’t been forced into a position to choose. But every time I see yet another video of a kidnapping, my hair catches fire and I’m impossible to live with.

This woman is everything. No wonder they want to silence her. It’s a theme with this administration. Been fired? Been jailed? Been deported? Been tear gassed? Been threatened? Been terrorized daily by helicopters? Been ignored in a flood? They can’t stand how bright you shine. They’re scared of you.

Ignore them. They’re jealous that we have the ability to feel something other than disdain for people. I hope you find your peace random poster gasteses. And I hope you don’t look for it anywhere near another human being.

Also, caring for the health of people generally makes better economic sense than if you let people spread disease or the myriad of other things that have a domino effect of society. The whole issue is a red herring. #taxtherich #abolishice

I also believe this, because I actually think we should treat people the same way we would want to be treated…. Like if I travel and find myself an immigrant without legal status yet (don’t start about the time it takes in the US) and I need to go to the hospital… yah
