Those running the country have hate where their conscience should be.
Grievance drives them.
Cruelty defines them.
Revenge motivates them.
We’re not being governed, we’re being targeted by a heartless regime.

I tire
But I keep moving
Up steep hills
Of injustice
Decade after decade
Every grey hair
Every wrinkle
Bone ache, body ache
Heartache
I tire
But I keep moving
Believing that
The righteousness of justice
Will invite humanity
To reach everyone
I tire
But I keep moving

Living a myth
Where a dinner
Was an introduction
To hundreds of years
Cost millions of lives
Settler dreams
Realized in slaughter
20 million became
Less than 300 thousand
Native people somehow
Survived, barely
Yet people continue
To swallow the genocide
During Thanksgiving
No!
Honor the survivors

I appreciate the fact that this is all documented throughout the nation. Some of us still prefer democracy. People who are supposed to be protected by the constitution are facing brutal and savage persecution. The White House has repeatedly ignored the Constitution.

I wonder if Redacted’s
Pedophile face will ever
Come out from under
The protective dark rock
Covered with layers of
Disgust and repugnance
Under lapdog crony shields
Invigorated by decrepit deception
Engorging themselves on
The suffering tears of
Teen age children

Me llamo Ser Humano
Pero a veces siento
que me han robado mi humanidad
Pero jamás renunciaré a ella
Sigo siendo Ser Humano
Es quien soy
My name is Human Being
But sometimes I feel as though
My humanity has been stolen
I’ll never give up my humanity
I will continue being Human Being
It’s who I am

These posters started popping up ahead of next week’s We Ain’t Buying It boycott.
From Nov 27 - Dec 1, folks are stepping back from corporate chains like Target, Home Depot, and Amazon. People are done being squeezed, so they are using the leverage of their wallets 💥

The US Constitution
Imperfectly written
ReAmended so many times
Because people forgotten
Reminded forgetters
Of this nation
To fix refix restore
Humanity to hue-people
Woman people
And others
Still, violators
Of the Constitution
Highest law of the land
Never go to jail

Quick reminder: the GOP’s “Big Beautiful Bill” wasn’t beautiful.
It blew up the deficit past $3T, gutted Medicaid, triggered automatic Medicare cuts, and will shove millions off healthcare.
Tax breaks for the wealthy.
Medical bills for everyone else.

The ruling class. A very small number of people who use their tremendous wealth and elite social status to control politicians so they will create laws to protect the ruling class’s economic and political power.
