We’re in the second Gilded Age just like the first — when America’s wealth was in the hands of a few, money corrupted politics, and working people were abused and exploited.

It can be easy to feel discouraged, but the first Gilded Age teaches us lessons on how we can fight back.

There’s a way I despise that we have to say “it will hurt you in the long run” to make people give a care. Hello? Just care even if it has nothing to do with you.

Graphic of boot trodding on head. “Every boot you ignore stomping on someone’s else’s neck is just breaking in the leather for yours."

It’s Indigenous Peoples Day, which means today should be all about uplifting indigenous communities.

So instead of doing a regular post, because Google is less than helpful, comment below with a win from an indigenous community.

Hopefully, I can make a post celebrating them all!

Things to do in the future:

1. Putting them all on trial for crimes against humanity at the Hague

2. Totally reforming entire government to root out corruption and abuse of power so this bullshit never happens again

3. At some point you’d imagine, brunch

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.
