Re: the Trump regime.
A lot of privileged white people are going to have to get in the streets and bleed their own blood to bring down this government, and the sooner you get started the less the damage will be.

Folks look at you like you're crazy when you say we're in the midst of the worst, most unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis in American history, & then it's Saturday.
Again, every time someone says "Trump can't do that" the only serious response is "Yes, he can, until Congress removes him"

This is a direct result of hundreds of thousands of people across the nation demanding that our Senators vote no.

In a world heavy with sorrow, we hunger for what sustains us: joy like bread, hope like water, kindness like shelter. Each act of compassion becomes a small rebellion against despair—a deliberate choice to build bridges where others erect walls.

A warrior is not defined by the fights they have won, but by what they fight for. Stand for those less privileged, stand for the powerless, stand with your neighbors, stand for those who will come after you. Stand for honor, or you stand for nothing at all, and are worth even less.

Oh no. The Pax Americana is done now, no matter who gets elected. We will never fucking trust the US again. Passing control over to the Dems next cycle will give the rest of us the breathing room we need to go around you, and that’s the best we can hope for.
