it's as simple as i see no evidence that national dems intend to resist, let alone stop, fascism, and i want to convice folks to stop relying on them to do so. because fascism must be stopped and they are in the way. that's it. that's my whole entire thing.

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.
Vehicles that are abandoned due to an ICE detention and towed to the City's impound lot will be released to their owners or a representative at no cost.

They're scared and weak and frustrated and losing so they're going to keep shooting us. It's all they have left.

Reminder: shooting civilians would be considered a war crime.

What does it mean when that is happening on our own streets?

Behind-the-scenes work to get your life aligned with your values isn't glamorous, but it is very necessary if you're trying to actually change your life to be one you're happy living. Self-betrayal through adhering to the status quo will eat at your soul.
