The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.
Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.
Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.
But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.
Remember this.

California – this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50.
California’s Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, we’re going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections.

This is what we need to do rather than just complain here on BlueSky, though that has its place, too (letting off steam helps keep the body healthy 😇).
Perkins didn't just complain, she figured out what she could do and DID IT! Be like Frances!

A significant share of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions comes from heating, cooling and powering homes — about 15%, according to one estimate by the Environmental Protection Agency. So if you want to reduce your carbon footprint, the home is an effective place to start.
A climate-friendly home starts with an energy assessment. Here's how my 100-year-old house did
Our shelter accounts for one of our biggest personal climate impacts. How we heat and cool our homes, wash and dry our clothes, get our electricity and heat our water each has its own carbon footprint.

For the first half of my kindergarten year, my family lived in a shitty little apartment complex somewhere in Central Texas. I forget where. I think Waco? Copperas Cove? We moved around a lot. If memory serves correctly, I attended three different schools that year.

People living under fascism didn’t survive by giving up joy—they protected it.
They held onto the things fascism tried to erase: art, friendship, jokes, rituals, language, memory.
Not as escapism but as resistance. As proof they were still human.
Joy isn’t frivolous under fascism. It’s strategic.

The attack on Iran is not in my name.
Do we have reasons to dislike Iran? Yes. But that does not give us the right to bomb their country without a a clear, present, & immediate danger to Americans.
This is not the America I grew up in. This is not the America I want to grow old in.
