UK politics is insane to me because every time I tune in even 1% to keep appraised of what's happening there the headlines are all like "GOVERNMENT MAKES IT ILLEGAL TO WATCH KISSING VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE TO PROTECT WOMEN AND GIRLS" and then in tiny font underneath "NHS budget cut by 75% next year"

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

Hey FYI the main reason women get stress fractures in the Army is that the heavy rucksacks they carry WERE DESIGNED FOR MEN. They do a shit job of distributing weight to the hips (where we are stronger w our builds). It's a design flaw. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile is maybe the funniest thing we've ever done.
We're now almost certainly going to lose money on it, but that's not the point. We just want it out there.
We've also learned something: Make good art right now, and people will bust their ass to help you on short notice.

One of the key ways you refuse to comply with fascism is by becoming even louder and more fearless in supporting vulnerable people. You SHOW that you are unwilling to throw the "undesirables" under the bus if only for self-preservation because under fascism you will also become undesirable one day.
