once we solve all of the country’s problems through socialism the internet can go back to being primarily a place to post things like smooth coke

“There’s a sense of timelessness,” I heard from one woman who asked not to be named, not wanting to insult people she’d spent time with before going nocturnal.”

The best years of my life were living in Atlanta, a 24 hour city at the time, when I could do almost any task after everyone was asleep.

The idea that our demand for human rights and equality has to be packaged perfectly with a bow on top is tiresome. Hopefully this moment demonstrates how the failure to address law enforcement excess is now (through ICE actions) recognized as a threat to democracy in this country.
