It’s on us to stop this. We have to carry out a general strike and boycott even if we’re not ready. We have to kill this system before it kills us.

What you’re feeling living under this criminal regime is a preview of what kind of world they want us to live in.

That’s your worldview starting to change in a very necessary way. Sit with it. Be gentle with yourself and sit with it. We’re going somewhere.
We have a choice.
A trucker in a red, white, and blue outfit accosting two immigrants in a Pilot gas station on the benefits of raw sugar as I’ll Make Love To plays over the PA: “Here. Put it in your mouth. You won’t want anything else ever again.”
It is…tough out there
A world where we have no idea what’s going on and don’t trust anything we’re told by anybody is their perfect and desired environment.
Works for me.

Works for me.
We're asking ICE to do nothing more than follow the standards that the vast majority of law enforcement agencies already follow.
Republicans, the ball is in your court. The clock is ticking.
I’m asking for everyone who directed them to spend the rest of their natural lives in prison.
And I’m asking for every quisling Democrat to walk the earth with ceaseless and unavoidable scorn.
Those are my demands.

The fascists called us snowflakes and they’re wetting themselves over a halftime show and regular people are studying street warfare
The Right Wing is motivated by a desire to hurt children and make sure their lives and futures are destroyed.

You’ve been fed scraps for so long a few aggressive words feels like a feast.
Demand. More. From. Politicians.
Why in the living fuck do you think I would want to be part of a coalition with a group of people who have continually betrayed us and turned a blind eye to obvious cruelty and fascism?
“Maybe we can reform ICE.”
“Sure, I don’t think police should murder people but saying defunding them is going a little too far.”
How do you look yourself in the goddamn mirror?
No, it won’t, and if you can’t stand against fascism you don’t deserve to win an election anyway.
You’re just cowards who are too afraid to stand by your convictions because you know they’re unpopular and upsetting.
No. You don’t. You’ve made them up in your head as a projection of what YOU believe but are too afraid to admit to others or even yourself.
The amount of people in denial in this country is absolutely wild.
