06Nov2024: I lost a lot of my faith that day. My determination to keep on being me, to stay active, to fight the tide of fascism that threatens to ruin us, is strong. To always stand on the side where love, kindness, equality, and acceptance mean more than greed.

The first rat to run was MTG. Others started coming to the stash to grab a few nibbles before the final dispersal phase. The rats are about to run. They can sense the cannibalism that's coming.
I say this as an animal ecologist.

It's past time to stop paying taxes. Every dollar we pay supports all this corruption.

Posting for the 2nd time today because, gawd dammit, direct action us key to reclaiming democracy.
Good morning. Why isn't this gaining any traction? If you think the Epstein files will be the nail in his coffin, think again. My mother and I will be doing our part. We, the people, have the power but refuse to use it. Everyone needs to do this *to the best of your ability*

Trump’s approval just cratered to 33%. Even Republicans are peeling off — a 13-point dive since March. Turns out running the government like a reality show doesn’t play when the country’s the one getting eliminated.

they're disappearing people. this is so fucking horrifying. #EndICE
A farm worker near Ave Maria, Florida, seeks prayers after their work bus is stopped by ICE. As a result, they begin systematically abducting each of them one by one. Tragically, they have not been heard from since.
