it's never the crazy weird conspiracy theory weapons. they are poisoning you with toxins they are well-documented to have. they are beating you with ordinary sticks and shooting you with ordinary guns the only conspiracy is how they gained legal immunity to do this

bro there’s a gofundme to crowdfund attorney fees for a preschooler who was kidnapped by our federal government and shipped across state lines and his senator is posting about high school hockey while every other elected official is debating whether to give a zillion more dollars to the kidnappers

Look, no one hates Americans as much as we hate ourselves. We let our kids get gunned down at school in droves. We leave each other living in tent camps. We die of easily preventable diseases. We refuse to cut carbon emissions.

i'm way less scared of civil war ii erupting than i am of absolutely nothing changing as things get worse and worse & the entire media apparatus pivots to pretending that using 5-year olds as bait to try and lure people out of their houses before also arresting the 5-year olds is normal

As the masks continue to fall and the world reveals itself more clearly, resist the pull toward cynicism. The oppressor depends on our hopelessness to survive. Surround yourself with people who not only believe a better world is possible, but who are building it within every aspect of their lives.

Pastors working for ICE Sex workers running mutual aid for immigrants Which one looks more like Jesus???

One very radicalizing experience I had this week was reading about the lawsuits filed by black lawyers on behalf of themselves and their community in response to the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. I think I just haven't really understood the legal system in this country. Anyways. Mindblowing.

MLK weekend at Bernie’s

Exactly. And what is white supremacy and Christian fundamentalism but death cults.

I see proof of this all the time! I’m positive that many of the customers most excited to see me at work (I work in grocery) do not share my politics or (lack of) faith, and would possibly be horrified by both, but small weekly conversations have built sincere connections and good will.

Happy MLK Day!

Pro-tip: if you reduce your circle to only people who have ever asked a sincere question of you that expresses any curiosity about you at all, you will have fewer friends but also better sleep.

Jenny Holzer, The Beginning of the War will be Secret

when you are petting a cat and the purr descends in register from “love it” to the louder slower “oh hell yes now that’s the stuff” purr, that is a blessing in this world

I guess January is just going to be a solid 48-56 degrees all month! Terrifying, tbh.

Caring for each other is the essential counter-action to destroying each other If care isn’t in your politic anywhere - I’m not stepping foot on your train.

oh it's going to be a Recession recession

Come See Me in the Good Light is a gorgeous doc/film.

I want a whole album of this ❤️

Your little poems are important in serious times. And your little stories & drawings & your little tunes you’re making. Don’t stop creating!

And *even more measles*. We can do this.

once again saying: our ancestors accomplished more, with less, against worse.

People who were actually enslaved believed that chattel slavery would end one day. I'm sorry but to me that suggests that you [who are not enslaved in 2026] can also imagine an end to the current horrors.

Please! They’re finding that even though subclade K evades many immune defenses, hospitalizations among children especially are still mostly kids who weren’t vaccinated. theyre finding vaccination still slows community spread and is reducing illness severity. GET VACCINATED.

One of my favorite poems and one of the doorways I used for healing my traumatic childhood relationship to arachnids. Always an important reread to get my moral framework together.

Two things we abide by in 2026: We do not allow the gestapo in our circle. (so block ice) and we do not play NICE with fascists. The mantra is, "fuck you, make me" every day of the week.

Excerpt from Revolutionary Letter № 8 by Diane di Prima

I still maintain that Colman Domingo at the Golden Globes two years ago is the best a human has ever looked

then they set upon him and ate him down to the bones and then flew the kite themselves and his jacket too!

“As a reasonable centrist, I think the paramilitary death squads need better training.”

Everything in this country is REAL BAD and on top of that I can’t fix my kid’s chronic pain and chronic health issues and I hate this so much and it hurts so much.

the problem with an untrained secret police squad that shoots people in their cars isn’t that they’re untrained

has anyone figured out a way out that isn’t through

if you think about it the electoral college is just affirmative action for slaveowners

Man, people whose entire existence or survival is based on the generosity and kindness of others sure love to pull the ladder up behind them and quickly.

Something I talked about in therapy this week that I cannot get out of my mind: Part of the reason that murderer got so angry at Renee is that she and her wife are living proof that women do not need men to survive and thrive. In fact, men are the only real threat to that survival and thriving

Become uncontainable

Saying "We're gonna fuck Iran up if they hurt protesters" while shooting moms in the streets here is., like... We need a term that's bigger than gaslighting.

I’ll take this over Bamboo Boy and the Boring Botox Barbie ANY DAY.

Finally, a breakfast that will fill me up and leave me thinking about it dreamily during quiet moments of my workday

I know they bowel movements harder than Orphan feelings on Christmas

This part…

do you guys hear that bell tolling? wonder who it’s for. it’s so loud lmao

Another world is possible!

Everyone is desperate to help, and everyone is overwhelmed trying to figure out what would actually help. How can our leaders not see this? Imagine if your Rep was livestreaming right now with verified information and an actual list of where to go and what to do.

“I have asked the clergy of the diocese to make sure their affairs are in order and they have written their wills.,not the time for statements. It is time to put our bodies between the powers of this world and the most vulnerable”. Rob Hirschfeld, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire

It's the bunch.
