We did it! We left Tyranny as a choice.

Good morning! I'm still 27 short to be able to stay sheltered due at noon. Could you please amplify? I might have to go to the hospital today again but hoping I don't. Much appreciated, and I hope you all have a safe and peaceful weekend full of love. Details in comment below, and pinned post.

Americans still don't realize how bad it has gotten and how much worse it is going to get.
Immense destruction, pain and suffering, and we're not even at the tip of it.

True allyship means listening to and learning from Black, Indigenous, and anti-racist Latine folks, POTGM who have had no choice and been involved in community, social justice, racial justice, environmental justice movements, etc. for survival.

Society is produced by our wants, and government by our wickedness; the former promotes our happiness possitively by uniting our affections, the latter negatively by restraining our vices. The one encourages intercourse, the other creates distinctions. The first is a patron, the last a punisher.

Here’s an idea for a reporter:
Gather some retired cops or MPs together and show them how ICE handles hecklers and protesters.
I guarantee you’ll get some amazing copy. Especially if your outlet lets you reprint profanity.

No effort to deescalate, no effort to walk away, just sling the rifle and physically attack

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

For our entire lives the state has been slowly conditioning us to accept dehumanization and unrestrained violence. It's the carceral state. Intentional scarcity and poverty. The exploitation of people around the world and within our borders. Designations of "criminal" and "terrorist."

I remember the moment when Joe Biden said he'd be ok with losing because he knows he did all that he could.
Even after 4 years of failing to focus on justice and anti-corruption.
