I always loved hitting those deer.
Just stay far and stay near.
Featherless bipeds honor these giants, for they alone are worthy of being called human.

America do you
Hear your children’s
Crying?
Do hear their tears for
Their father?
Do you hear their pain?
I do, and it’s breaking
My heart every time!

Trump’s Gestapo at work.
These traitors to the flag should all be in federal prison.
America keeps running because of the contributions of immigrants.
There is a day coming when Trump and all of his Nazi/russian asset brethren will be the ones getting hauled off to Guantanamo.
“…Allow all the governed an equal voice in the government, and that, and only that is self-government…”.
It took me a long time to give up on my friend. I spent so much time trying to understand her, and challenge her, until I just felt it was almost my moral duty to cut off contact.
it’s a quote from

We're all down at the local watering hole.
Homo sapiens, antelopes, bison, giraffes and lions.
Each group looks, lives, loves differently than the others.
But we all allow access to that watering hole.
That's the reality of it all.
That's what our DNA tells us.
Just sayin'
And writer, of course.
Peace ✌️
Sorry, I'm just such a reflexive asshole.
-actual James Baldwin quote
They want the "everyone wins" solution and it isn't real. Can't hug your way to victory, or hope, or whine.
Gotta fight.
It's a valid observation but let's be honest - we all could do a lot more to stand a lot taller, including you and I.
For all we know saying anything or nothing or just existing or not existing might be the flap of a butterfly wing that leads to the "oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist".
SO, for the black men who voted for the 🍊🤡 how are you feeling today……
These are true samples of his brilliant work.
“I can't believe what you say, because I see what you do”
“It is very nearly impossible to become an educated person in a country so distrustful of the independent mind”
The full quote has "as the song says" before the comma. Ike Turner wrote the song, which is a bit ironic. There is a video on YouTube of a young Tina Turner singing that song, though not that line ... the Ikettes did the title line
Also Correct: What a sick & twisted perversion of irony that those words were transferred from pencil to paper by Ike Turner. Projection of the worst kind.
Peace ✌️

What we resist persists.
Have to figure this out. Can’t stand against what we don’t want. Must stand for what we do want. Same goal, different energy. This is power, not force.
