it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

if you're trans or black or muslim, everything you do is considered political, but if you're a christian terrorist, you're just an apolitical part of The System (derogatory)
This is continued journalistic malpractice from the @startribune.com normalizing a violent white male suspect. He owned a private security company called Praetorian Guard, traveled overseas to preach against abortion and LGBTQ+ people, and attended a bible college that preaches "violent prayer."
Suspect showed few signs of political extremism before lawmaker shootings
Friends and associates say Vance Boelter, who was apprehended late Sunday and charged with murdering a state lawmaker and her husband, was mild-mannered and did not appear to be fixated on politics.

this is an incredibly abhorrent result and example of neurodivergent kids having no rights and agency, from school to home. anywhere from the worst people you know to “well meaning” people are harming kids every day because they believe they should have a say over kid’s bodies.
Ableism killed this child.

He had sleep apnea and ADHD. They were trying to treat that by...putting him in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber. The facility was not licensed or accredited, did not perform the necessary safety checks, and did not have doctors on site.

Five years old.

A kid died from measles last week. A totally, completely preventable death.

That child was a victim of conspiracists, and it’s easy to call those folks dumbasses and keep it moving.

But the truth is that there’s a massive, deliberate push to dumb down America.

If you are out making your voice heard en masse, remember that "masse" means it doesn't matter that it's you, specifically. Protect everyone by making yourself indistinguishable from your comrades, don't bring your phone, and write your emergency contact numbers on your skin. We take care of us.

The only way to defeat that kind of insecure enemy is to be secure yourself. To have radical faith in all peoples ability to change for the better. But the only way that DOESN’T turn into liberalism is learning how those having a hard time in trying to change differs from those who REFUSE to change.

Get ready for a marathon. Trump will make countless evil comments and profoundly disturbing moves. Sprinting toward each one will both exhaust us and not allow us to fight effectively for years and years. Build for the marathon, build for the long-haul.

I cant stand the way we as a society treat children. I cant stop thinking about what happened to me & my friends when we were kids. Even the “small” ways we’re fucked with as kids, i can’t fucking stand it.

A fundamental goal of this administration is take all the government services that are public goods and hand them to billionaires so they can make even more money.
