Think of how relieved we’ll be when the quiet, steady siphoning of our labor and resources to the oligarchy resumes.
MAGA admin is greedy and sloppy, and now we’re protesting. The system didn’t change.
They just let our first-world egos catch too clear a glimpse of the exploitation to ignore it.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility!
Trans people have been a presence throughout history, and no amount of “executive orders” will ever diminish that.
You are seen. You are cherished. You are not alone. You are enough.

Both houses of the Iowa legislature just voted to remove gender identity as a protected class in Iowa law. The sponsors of this bill and anyone who voted for it are hateful bullies. The culture war that they use as a diversionary tactic while they rob us blind affects real people.

My 40 hour job serves women, refugees and immigrants. How unethical is it for me to just retreat inward when I get home. Just garden and knit and live? So many people are going through hell and I feel guilty. And I don’t know anyone with a lot of bandwidth right now.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
