We The Inconsequential

#Truth Pride, much like Black History, or any other marginalized group, should be accepted and celebrated 24/7/365. This may shock some people, and if so, please join us in this century. Let humans be human. Don't judge someone else's path.

I truly think that the billionaires currently working to destroy our country believe their money exempts them from the natural laws that govern how things work. They believe they have somehow been granted exemptions from the consequences of extreme stupidity .

The entire point.

So tired of this bullshit. 🟠 voters loved what he did the 1st time when he separated families. They voted for more violent measures the 2nd time - moms and dads kidnapped, kids in zip ties, US born cancer stricken children deported. All disappeared. FFS, at least be honest, m’fers. YOU did this.

Unbelievable! Today, San Diego witnessed a government-sanctioned kidnapping. ICE stormed Buona Forchetta in military gear ripping workers away, then unleashing tear gas and smoke on the terrified community. Full on police state, fascism now used on American citizens. Stay aware. #OnYourSide

Poverty? “Well, we all are going to die.” Kids without insulin? “Well, we all are going to die.” School shootings, poisoned water, hurricane devastation, a mother’s cancer, a family’s hunger? “Well, we all are going to die.” open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

"Well, we are all going to die." Damn, y'all, I've heard some cruel and bizarre statements from politicians in my lifetime, but Sen. Joni Ernst saying this directly to her constituents during a town hall regarding concerns over cuts to Medicaid is an all-timer. Jesus.

"Where are the Democratic leaders? We should have been dancing on this (the "We're all going to die!" remarks of Sen. Joni Earnst to her constituents who complained of healthcare cuts) two seconds after she said it!" -Rev. Al Sharpton He's exactly right. Where are they?

Truth!

Christian NAtionals. He posted he is on a mission from GOD and nothing can stop whats coming. SO TO YOU THE MURDER OF A CHILD IS NOW ACCEPTABLE?

More of this people!!!

How do we make this happen?

All of these countries have issued USA travel advisories: - Germany - United Kingdom - Denmark - Finland - France - Ireland - Netherlands - Portugal - Belgium - Norway - Canada - New Zealand - Australia - Mexico - Venezuela - Uruguay - Japan

My heart hurts today, and every day, about where we could have been. Fuck the entire Trumplandian Universe. We had our joy destroyed.

Yup.

I’ll say it again. Our diversity is our strength. Keeping the “foreign” students out will make us less competitive and weaker as a result.

It’s really comforting that as food skyrockets in price, your neighbors are disappeared by masked goons, and people die en masse of preventable illness, Republicans and Democrats can come together and say: fuck this one trans teenager in particular for trying to run track with her friends

Getting ready for another week of fighting for democracy in court.

Our current president is severely mentally unwell, and the media needs to cover it now.

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil.

‘They say, We leave you our deaths. Give them their meaning.’ —Archibald MacLeish Remembering the fallen this Memorial Day, we can consider our own duty to strive so that our lives and our country are worthy of the price they paid.

America is NOT woke or it would have elected a woman to the presidency. America is a joke because it allowed a career scam-artist to cheat its way out of prison and into the Oval Office. Our global reputation is stained forever.

It’s strange to watch Americans memorialize soldiers who died for democracy whilst they giddily embrace fascism.
