There's a thread on AskReddit asking, "People who have had to drain their life’s savings on a single event, what happened?" 99% of the answers are depressing American stories about medical bills, 1% is an Australian who found a wombat burrowing under their house.

Nonviolent mass protests only work if they are sustained and not just one off every three months. If you actually want your nonviolent movement to work, you can’t go back to work on Monday. You actually have to sustain the protest for months or until you oust the fascist leader.

People will tell you that they view property destruction as equivalent to violence against a person, but that's not true. They think property destruction is worse

One of the reasons American fascism has been largely ignored up until now is because actually addressing it would mean addressing massive systemic issues that have their roots deep in America history and it’s proto fascist past and it would also mean deconstructing the core mythos of America

I’m just going to keep saying this as loudly as I can. The Republicans are waging war against America and are going to continue to invade blue cities until they have taken them over completely. Once boots are on the ground, they will never leave.

Cuomo losing would be the first time in generations any Establishment Dem was held accountable & rejected by voters for objectively bad behavior. Dem voters have been allergic to holding elite Dems accountable for anything - Iraq, financial crisis, Trump losses, Biden cover up, etc. It'd be a first.

remember the uprising against police brutality in 2020 that got dismantled when Biden won, after which he gave Covid funds to the Police right before he engaged in a genocide where Democrat mayors told their police to do deeply anti constitutional actions to stop protests against genocide?

Long Covid has surpassed asthma as the most common chronic illness in kids. The most heartbreaking part? Those are just the cases who’ve managed to be diagnosed. Many kids suffer in silence. They’re just learning what their “normal” is, so they may not even know they’re sick.

Something that I think weighs on many is that everyone knows that if ever the Democrats were fully in power at the Federal level again, they will not immediately move to reverse what has been destroyed and build something new. This reality just sits out there like an anchor.

A curfew to protect ice and federal forces with the threat of arrest for civilians doing their legally protected first amendment is nothing less than a de facto, police state snd marital law. This is unconscionable that the Democrat mayor would protect fascist federal forces in this way. Disgusting.

In the light of the LAPD standing with the fascists and targeting civilians… It feels a good time to remind folks to never call a wellness check on a disabled friend or loved one. Cops are not trained in how to handle mental health, disability or chronic illness. It almost always ends badly

‼️ This is absolutely absurd. Trump is actively manufacturing a crisis. The Pentagon just announced that he’s federalizing another 2,000 California National Guard troops bringing the total to 4,000, plus 700 active-duty Marines heading into LA. This is a military occupation, not public safety.

The anti-ICE protests in LA are understandably dominating the news feed right now. Two journalists have been shot with “less lethal” rounds. Freedom of the press is under attack. They’re sending in the Marines. But don’t lose sight on the assault on public health & the ACIP 🧵

ICE targets immigrants. RFK Jr targets the disabled, elderly & vulnerable. The whole regime targets marginalized people, those living in poverty and LGBTQ+ individuals. They’re targeting everyone who they’ve deemed “less than”. Everyone is expendable under fascism. It comes for all eventually.

60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life. Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever. Our problem isn't a lack of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

Oh, so dramatic! 😂 When the rain is very heavy, the Fiery-throated Hummingbirds can't fly, so they land on a branch or the walkway and shake and shimmy and contort themselves, trying to dry out. It's a little upsetting the first time you observe this behavior, but they're fine. #hummingbirds #bird
