it's a great morning to remember that it is okay to stumble while you figure out how to survive the next four years. (this is a reminder to myself that perfection is the tool of the oppressor)

if you find yourself reluctant to support the guy at Columbia because you find some of the politics he espoused distasteful or even abhorrent, you should know that this is exactly the reaction that they hoped for in choosing him as a target for unlawful detention based on political speech.

Tonight, President Trump will deliver an address to a joint session of Congress.

Our responses to President Trump’s blatant discrimination have never minced words, and our actions to fight back have been swift.

We won’t stop now.

"The sin of empathy" is a phrase I saw by one of these fascists that has stayed with me.

In order to commit atrocities, you must eliminate empathy. You must dehumanize people to the point where empathy is impossible in order to get tacit assent by a population to commit mass violence and murder.

on a serious note we have to start thinking about how the stress levels folks in movement work are facing are unsustainable. we have to start having real and honest conversations amongst ourselves about how we plan on making survival possible.
