the other thing about the current extreme right wing political strategy from the White House and its enablers to make us all scared and afraid is that the longer you spend making people afraid, the more chances they have to think things over and realize they're actually courageous

The "first they came..." poem gets quoted and quoted and quoted and quoted and you know what, we do in fact know who they're coming for first, right now, and that is trans people, and the answer needs to be "absolutely the fuck not, you motherfuckers," full stop.

My Washington Post subscription has been cancelled, expiring Feb. 25th; it's too bad because I mostly enjoy reading it. So any suggestions on how I should spend the $100 that would have gone to the WaPo for a good news source?

Thanks to Ann Lamont in the Washington Post for this comforting quote: “Freedom fighters don’t always win, but they are always right” from Molly Ivans. I will miss the WaPo when my subscription ends in February but I hate what Bezos has done to it.

Your brief talk at the Dec. 10th rally and the longer version that afternoon were both great: clear and compelling. Thank you for your support.
Civil disobedience is a message, sent by our bodies, that an issue is so urgent to survival and so necessary for justice that we are willing to sacrifice personal freedom. It’s an expression of courage and humanity. And it drives the news.

There's a bizarre and ongoing mainstream effort to launder RFK Jr into someone who just wants to get Americans eating nutritious food and exercising again but that is not evidenced anywhere in his public statements or career in public life.
He is a liar and conspiracist.

I am old enough to remember the fear of polio then lining up at school to get the vaccine when it first came out.
i am convinced that these people are death worshippers who want to spread as much disease and sickness as possible (i also think this is all tied up in eugenic beliefs about the “survival of the fittest” www.nytimes.com/2024/12/13/h...
