Sometimes concerned with analyst relations, usually with Buddhism, frequently with other things, but always fiercely with the state of the world and all beings in it.
Peaceful mass resistance gets ignored. One gunman gets broadcast everywhere.
If you ever wondered how media helps authoritarians, this is it.

This is a hostile takeover of our country. And we are the resistance.
It’s not “We’ll definitely win.”
It’s not “We’ve already lost.”
It’s this: We may not know if we’ll win. But we do know what happens if we don’t resist. Resistance is what makes victory possible.
Always has.

They’re coming for abortion access nationwide—quietly, through the fine print. The “Big Ugly” bill would gut coverage for millions. Congressional Republicans know they can’t win on this issue in the open.
Don’t let them hide it.
Don’t let them hide it.
Most people aren't tracking this, but the Big Ugly bill would effectively ban marketplace insurers from covering abortion care in ALL 50 states.
We can't let this stand. Please help spread the word.
Republicans are jamming this bill through—we have to speak up NOW.

It took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours, and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic.
When the fire starts to burn, every good person better be ready to man a post with a bucket of water if you want to stop it from raging out of control.
