Maybe corny but it was helpful for me to hear Henry Rollins saying "this is not time to be dismayed, this is punk rock time, this is what Joe Strummer trained you for... You can be thunderous in your own life, to the eight people around you. That rubs off... Goodness is viral"

Catching up on the news of Germany's election today. I have been dreading this day. Basically, a guy who's an American libertarian spendthrift type, who represented a TINY minority party, in a coalition, refused to work with the coalition and agree to a budget.

"Fair or not, Jewish Germans are angering Hitler. Is their style hurting Germany?"
(I hate to go immediately to Hitler, but JFC. Literally everything but toadying angers Trump. That's what abusers do. Get angry and abusive. There is no working with it.)

Our Black middle school had a NASA-approved mission control center. Lost funding yrs ago - conservative school board members.
An elementary school here had a whole microvillage run by students - banking, groceries, businesses, everything. School got torn down 🙃
But this BS is allowed to thrive lol

If the US is going to go all blood and soil while razing civilization, can we go back to old school surnames? My last name means Strong, and it was corrupted in expatriation. Why persist with these several steps of remove? Just let me put GILDED THE STRONG on my driver's license.

In glorious confirmation of stereotype, Germany, a country with 1/4 the population of the US, has generated more than 50% as much XP. So they're studying literally twice as hard. #duolingo

Tyranny requires your fear and your silence and your compliance.
Democracy requires your courage.
So gather your justice and humanity, Illinois, and do not let despair overcome us when our country needs us the most.

After that plane literally flipped upside down after smashing into the runway and 100% of people survived, I hope every person who ever said “what’s even the point of seatbelts on a plane” feels like a real doof.

Aside from the obvious, watching "gender ideology" be removed from quotes and accepted into common parlance in real time (as I watched "biological sex" do a few years back) is terrifying.
They are teaching you that we are not human, but "ideological".
They are teaching you not to value our lives.
