I need to stop word vomiting my "I'm self-medicating to get through a holiday" *big ideas* on facebook of all fucking places.

Most of what my electoral leftist friends like to call my cynicism would land a lot better if they just imagined Sam Elliot saying it instead of me.

My situation is very tight at the moment, so I'm asking for help. I hate to keep sharing this and hope that it will pass soon. Oh, do I ever.

Thank you so much to those who've helped! Anything means everything, even a boost, and I appreciate you all very much.

I'm not calling it MSNOW. MSNOW is a like a badly localized attack all enemies frost spell in an early 90s JRPG.

I just want there to be a perfect version of the swamp and the desert mixed together that also gets snow.

eric swalwell said on msnow that a major goal of a dem majority after the midterms would be for ice masks to come off and badges to come out, this is insufficient

There are more people organizing and pushing back against the regime today than there were in the first term. There are more people in more places (rural towns and big cities across the country). I think it's really strange how resistant some people are to these facts. I wonder what's going on.

I'm never bringing an umbrella anywhere. I don't care if it's pouring. If I bring an umbrella it will not be returning with me. Also water feels nice and I like that wet clothes become an issue for everyone at the work event.

North Carolina has really shown out. Comrades are telling me that they have gotten 500 to 1000 people out to ICE Watch trainings [with more people wanting to attend].

What if we restored the Cuman-Kipchak Confederation (Dasht-i Qipchaq), would that help anything?

Most of my personality is informed by John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness and In the Mouth of Madness and I'm very comfortable with that.

Sometimes you step into some bullshit and immediately realize you'd rather be playing video games.

I spent all day outside looking at dope Japanese maples that were maybe 4 or 5 days off of peak foliage. Also checked out a carnivorous plant garden, but only a few pitcher plants were still hanging in their, everything else is waiting to come back in warmer months. I took no pictures. It was great.

She talks about how she was just trying to warn her neighbours that ICE was in the area.

She says she’s a survivor.

This is courage.

It’s also a reminder that DHS will lie to protect its thugs.

Kash Patel still hasn’t removed a tweet that blames Martinez for getting shot.

Marimar Martinez is a US citizen who was shot by ICE five times in Chicago.

She was then arrested, labelled a “domestic terrorist” and slandered on social media.

All charges against her have been dropped.

In this interview she shows on of the seven holes the ICE agent put in her body.

What Issa Heard by David Budbill

Two hundred years ago Issa heard the morning birds
singing sutras to this suffering world.

I heard them too, this morning, which must mean,

since we will always have a suffering world,
we must also always have a song.

If you're over 30 it should not have taken Rachel Maddow showing up at Dick Cheney's funeral to convince you she is a right worthless piece of shit.

There is nothing more demoralizing than otherwise good/decent people making excuses for bad shit.

Yeah, no Dems have ever started unjust or illegal wars. No one should ever suggest otherwise, and if you do (even if you come with receipts) you're just doing it to help Trump.

Talk about trash arguments from trash people.
No. I just think imagining that Harris would have started a war in central america is a little absurd when Trump is starting one right now.
So you're fine when people with a (D) by their name drop bombs and only care when people with another letter by their names do it. Cool. Thanks for letting us know.
