Lauren is getting shit for this but she’s right. I’ve changed my position dramatically over the last few years and owning a gun hasn’t made the terrifying reality we’re facing any less terrifying. It’s fantasy to believe we can use firearms to defend ourselves from the right when they’re in power.

I know the material reasons for the rise of fascism. I also think another reason - which doesn’t get talked about as much because it’s embarrassing that humans can be that naive - is that when you are financially comfortable but bored, abstract cruelty can give you a sense of purpose.

I wish more people were talking about egg prices as less of a “muh egg prices!” thing and more about the fact that there is an organized egg cartel that is illegally price gouging and almost certainly illegally price fixing and reaping massive, gigantic profits.

this is what people mean by trans genocide
if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported
this headline change isn't even being caused by an executive order
it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist

We need your help. At Merrymac we have almost 100 bird friends so we’re obviously terrified by the spread of bird flu. We’ve been scrambling to get new procedures, equipment, and structures in place but it has been expensive. Can you donate to help us save our flock? donorbox.org/mmfs-protect...

So they literally could have set up 400 people in a $1500 a month apartment for 29 YEARS for what they spent to abuse people. Or housed almost 1000 people for a year at the same rate.
In preparation for today’s Super Bowl in New Orleans, state police forced over 100 homeless men and women onto buses under threat of arrest, dumping them in an unheated warehouse. Tents destroyed, belongings lost. Press are barred from the warehouse.
The price tag for this cruelty? $17.5 million

I get why people do it as a way to get others to care but you don’t need to frame the harm being done to one group as a distraction or a precursor to harm to another group. It’s not only weirdly hierarchical but also not honest about the hatred that bigots feel towards different groups of people.

Pro tip: Wearing a mask is a powerful protest tool that visually communicates the reckless denial of anti-vaxxers, fossil fuel shills etc.
Wearing a mask at a protest is also praxis. Not only are you protesting those who will spread harm, you are actively stopping it yourself.
