What do we do with so much sad
Find work that gets us out of our own heads, centered in community resiliency, human and animal dignity and environmental care. Food banks, urban food gardens, safe houses, libraries, community medical, child care, shelters, education and outreach, etc etc.
Happy Year of the Fire Horse to those who celebrate. It is expected to bring a “cycle of heightened passion, boldness, energy and courage” and I am so here for it.

Pay attention to the Prairieland case.
By saddling the defendants with indiscriminate charges, holding them without bail, and isolating them from lawyers and the public, prosecutors are attempting to terrorize them into signing guilty pleas in order to set a precedent criminalizing dissent itself.

Our DHS reform demands are exceedingly reasonable.
We're asking ICE to do nothing more than follow the standards that the vast majority of law enforcement agencies already follow.
Republicans, the ball is in your court. The clock is ticking.

I feel about the ‘shoulda voted’ folk too. If only they viewed everything they do as votes & not just that l’il limited ballot the real decision makers hand them every few years.
They’d realize when they shop Amazon that’s a vote. Eat chick-fil-a? That’s a vote. Buying Harry Potter? Yup. A vote.

Wouldn't white folks love to believe white supremacists are bad apples so they never have to examine themselves. I'm sorry, white supremacists are white folks like you who don't have to be polite about being racist. You take part in white supremacy too as a white person. You have work to do.

‘Imprison all women’ may sound outrageous. But all of the horrors that are routine today started out as some ghoulish guy being allowed to say stuff like this without being beaten with hammers.
Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”
