Have you etched out the time and space to tap into the river of grief from being gridlocked in a death-denying yet utterly destructive system of oppression, exploitation, & moral injury?

I am hearing Amazon just fucked up a sports broadcast. Boo! They also worked a guy to death in a warehouse last week and then told a tearful worker who wanted to help give CPR to look away and keep working.

This is the most horrifying, psychotic, grotesque message Trump has ever posted—openly threatening to commit genocide. This is beyond reckless. It’s dangerous, dehumanizing, and utterly unfit for any leader.

Since October, federal courts have ruled more than 4,400 times that ICE is illegally jailing immigrants. Now the agency wants to spend $38B to turn warehouses across the country into detention camps. Remember that some of Trump's biggest supporters are private prison companies running these camps.

As January comes to a close, it should not just become a harrowing memory. The past four weeks are a harbinger of what is to come under Trump, as the administration showed exactly the future it's building: One in which the laws are ignored, life is cheap, and elections are hijacked by FBI raids.

Masked government agents are conducting “show me your papers” stops, detaining 5-year-olds to use them as bait, and brutally murdering U.S. citizens. Call it what it is — fascism. History will not look fondly on politicians and so-called "leaders" of this country who stood by and enabled this.

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights. There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us. This is my favorite guide.
