Definitely not three raccoons in a trench coat trying to make a little art, navigate parenting, ADHD, and hydrate “enough”.

Gonna need to find cute(r) tulip cages. Signage is new, but I suspect our local herd is not going to bother reading it before munching.

You are witnessing the normalization of fascism right in your face. You are seeing the media’s “unbiasedness” sanitize fascism by giving these people the benefit of the doubt. These are not “Nazi-like”, these are Nazis. Beware the rhinoceros, before it’s too late.

Remember. It’s never:
We fight for (these people) because maybe we’re more at risk if we don’t.
No more Niemölling.
We fight because they are coming for anyone.
Every single person matters.
Each and every human being’s life and safety is worth the fight.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.

Here’s the thing about fascism: it’s actually a spiritual project. That’s why when you say “migration is great for the economy”, fascists don’t care. They think “well, the idea of racial purity is more appealing to my soul than a strong economy, so screw the economy”. That was Hitler’s argument.
Important always to remember that the people spearheading the hatred of “mass immigration” think that the ideal number of non-white immigrants in the country is zero.

They never have to take any responsibility for the livelihoods of the people they are entirely reliant upon. It would be more accurate then, to think of artists as a natural resource to be mined by others, rather than as valued workers in an economy. Let’s take publishing as an example . . . 5/
