Hey liberals and leftists: ultra-conservativism, i.e. fascism, thrives on the dehumanization of other human beings. If you dehumanize anyone, ANYONE, then you're behaving more like an ultra-conservative than a liberal or a leftist. You should know better.

Hi. I'm a GenX AuDHDer. I'm agender, light-grayromantic, dark-graysexual, a parent, a grandparent. Yes, you can be on the asexual spectrum and still have a family. Life is complicated. Also, I'm disabled.

Guess being anti-capitalist and anti-fascist means I'm one of the "enemies from within" now. 🙃

Yes. SCOTUS has already ruled that a LEO who endangers himself is not entitled to qualified immunity for the use of deadly force.

This Kyle Rittenhouse all over again. The cries of "self defense" ignore the most poignant fact in both situations: they both, stupidly, placed themselves in danger.

US aircraft that attacked suspected drug boat reportedly disguised as civilian plane.
This is illegal.
Even accepting the Trump administration’s claim that there is an armed conflict with suspected drug runners, the laws of war bar “perfidy.”

8000 aircraft carrier sailors have no other housing than aboard the ships they work on... never being able to leave work behind.

Pretty sure some #labor & #housing standards should apply, even without a #LivingWage.

“We’ve gone to bases all over the world there are many, many, many things where we are failing you."

Army Secretary Dan Driscoll promised soldiers improvements are coming, especially once a Defense Department-wide study of barracks problems is completed next month.

I disagree that Trump should be anywhere near the levers of power
Q: The premier of Greenland said today, 'We prefer to stay with Denmark.'

TRUMP: Who said that?

Q: The premier of Greenland

TRUMP: Well, that's their problem. I disagree with him. I don't know who he is. Don't know anything about him. But that's gonna be a big problem for him.

Putting this on top. When some leaves a standard abusive relationship now is the most dangerous time. Throw in a network of Nazis and everything amplified. Please if you can help, do so. I was honored to more just knowing I made a good cause in the universe.

For their safety, we are keeping their names private, but we can share that this family is facing immediate danger from an ex-partner who is an ACTIVE far-right extremist and has already been physically abusive in front of the children.
