Read history. Oligarchs have owned and controlled our government before. They’ve attacked oppressed groups, gone after migrants, and enacted mass violence against workers who dared resist. But people kept fighting. They organized. They built power. What we need to do is not unprecedented.

Marching is meaningless in a fascist dictatorship, which is where we live now because of you dumb fucking "Genocide Joe" idiots.

At best, protests are ignored. At worst, far-right provocatures trigger violence meant to justify martial law.

The way forward is a General Strike.

As a 1st gen immigrant, I feel a lot of Americans don’t understand how fragile democracy is

I’ve seen dictators rise to power using populist narratives

I’ve witnessed fundamental rights violations due to their policies and unchecked power

I was worried in 2016 but now I’m terrified

I can’t tell if the person who wrote this headline knows it’s funny. The way the rest of the story is written suggests they don’t.

HEY YOU stop intellectualizing your anxiety. Yes there might be a reason, but you also might just feel anxious cuz you have an anxiety disorder. We are walking, talking nervous systems and they don't always function how we need them to. It's hard to regulate a nervous system when u have trauma!!!!!

LGBTQ rights aren't up for debate. There shouldn't be two sides here. My love doesn't harm you. You know what's harmful? Being denied housing, employment, or legal entry to the hospital your spouse is rushed to. We can debate pineapple on pizza. We won't be debating civil rights. - Chasten Buttigieg
