Trying to break the chain of endless political doom, watching the hell we've become, etc. Gonna try to post some everyday, normal, wee things that give me a smile, a bit of joy, etc.
Like: no words to describe how happy I am that BTS will announce their world tour dates on Jan 13 (US). #Apobangpo

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts?
Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from.

Ain't this the fucking truth.
If the DEA had killed 80 innocent Americans in the course of apprehending one drug dealer, there would be riots. But we are so ghoulishly indifferent to the lives and humanity of people abroad that it's barely even part of the conversation.
A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.

I was today years old when I learned that Holly Hobbie is actually a real person, not just a doll & book character's name.

In 249 years, this country has yet to outlaw slavery. We change its form, we change its name, but slavery has been constant. Powerful people and businesses just really love slave labor, and a chunk of our economy is built on that.

Zuckerburg is paying only $190M to settle an $8B lawsuit by FB shareholders for the Cambridge Analytica crime.
$8B would’ve been 3% of his net worth, and $190M is .08%. ~$75 for ordinary working people.
“If the penalty for a crime is a fine, then that law only exists for the lower class.”

Sturgis, SD in the late 90's for the rally, Dennis Rodman (with the orange hair) rides down Main Street -- he glanced over in my direction, I tipped my head up to acknowledge, he did the same.
100% believe he was generally just doing that gesture his whole ride down the street, but still.

SNAP benefits should be universal, with zero means testing, and generous.
Even from a purely capitalist perspective this would benefit the economy massively.
The only reason to be against this is because you're pro-suffering.

I think that speech will end up going down as a major inflection point -- where enough regular Americans got to see the president as he actually IS (how he looks, sounds, talks, snorts, acts crazy) and now how they've seen from filtered sources...
It's gonna do down as a massive mistake.

"ICE and CBP must be abolished" is the only reasonable position. We can debate the specifics of new agencies for immigration functions, but these agencies are simply too infected with a culture of impunity, racism, and fascism to continue. They're gangs with badges.
Armed ICE agents trapped US citizens in a restaurant and demanded their papers. Federal agents walked into East African restaurants in Cedar-Riverside, MN. They closed and blocked the doors. Then they demanded to see everyone’s papers. Every person present was a US citizen.

I understand that a lot of folks have been misled by fear-mongering and powerful regressive voices but it’s still astonishing to me that so many have fallen for the idea that oppressively policing other people’s gender identity and expression could in any way be part of an enlightened future.
