My People! Quakers have been fighting against evil in America since before the Founding Fathers were even born. Back then, we fought against the Puritans and their religious extremism. We aren't stopping now!

My first day of school pic.

When you go to school in Massachusetts, you know that it is going to be cold, but jesus, this is ridiculous. Haha

Have a great day BlueSky. I Love You!

My textbooks for two of my classes this semester. These are for "History of the Far-Right" and "The Politics of Guns". I really wish that I was studying all of this as a theoretical scenario instead of simply reading the marching orders of the President of the United States.

We no longer wonder why Republicans are willing to compromise our nation so much. We used to assume that they had been "honey-potted" by Russia. We now know that since sex scandals don't fazed their base at all that Republicans act the way that they do because they want the Fascism that's coming.

Remember that the witnesses to and victims of Hegseth’s misconduct were not anonymous, but offered to meet in person with Republican senators (anything but anonymous) who offered zero meetings, and now call these real people anonymous.
Pete Hegseth Had a One-Word Plan to Dodge Senators’ Toughest Questions
He found a familiar scapegoat.

This is exactly why I refer to Trump supporters as Acolytes.
