We have a fascist party and a party who won’t oppose the fascists. American citizens are being hung out to dry.

If Dems were unwilling to fight over cabinet nominees and unwilling to fight over the budget/shutdown, it’s safe to assume they’re not going to fight over anything.

If you aren’t willing to risk your seat in order to fight for the health and safety of the people who gave it to you in the first place, you should fucking retire today. Walk out. Quit. You’re done. You don’t even remember what your job was, and we can no longer trust you to do it.

Rain! It’s raining! First time since freaking November. I thought we were going to miss out on our winter rains entirely. Usually by this time, the mountains would be green, wild flowers blooming. But it’s just been so dry and brown. Still beautiful. Tucson is never not beautiful.

“I told you so!” is isolating. It does not matter if someone effed around and found out. The only part that matters is the “found out.” We are all victims of the same bullshit whether we voted for it or not. Social isolation is the tool of the enemy. And yes, I voted for Kamala too. (1)

Do not let the bastards silence you, scare you into compliance, fatigue you into inaction, or drive you to cynicism or despair. They're blitzing us with orders & measures to demoralize us. Fuck them. A people united have overthrown dictatorships scarier than anything these shites have planned.

If there is to be any 'resistance', we need to establish connection with invisible classes. (Undocumented people & the prison population being obvious examples) I don't know how! And there are a lot of concerns that'd make it difficult to do properly.

It is not in my control to fix the hearts of those in power. But I can keep my heart open, my door open, and share with my neighbors. The neighborhood has started leaving extra food in the laundry room - cans, produce. We won’t be isolated. We’ll care for our neighbors & hope for the same.

Hey conservatives, guess what? Trans people, immigrants, all the people you were taught to hate… We were never your enemy. Ever. We did nothing to you. We were the shiny keys that powerful men dangled in front of you, and when you turned to look, they picked your pockets.

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge). You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant no matter what the ICE officer says.

My building has ongoing plumbing issues & a new management company that’s neglected to update the answering machine message with info re: contacting emergency maintenance. So that’s great.

“The firefighters are heroes!” Cool, then maybe they shouldn’t be in jail. Like, if you’re a nonviolent offender and well enough to be trusted to fight fires, you shouldn’t be in jail. And you CERTAINLY shouldn’t be making $10 a day doing it.

Don Jr. and his dad both pushed fake news trying to blame illegal immigrants for the attack in New Orleans. They're the ones who are deranged. Further proof we don't need an alleged drunk and a Putin simp in charge of national and foreign security.

I need someone to explain to me why it’s always “if you can’t pay rent, buy fewer lattes and avocado toasts” and not “if you can’t pay your employees a living wage, buy fewer yachts and real estate”. Explain it to me like I’m in kindergarten.

And just like that, the first anti LGBTQ bill in nearly 3 decades was signed by Biden and passed by a Democratic senate. It included a ban on gender affirming care for trans children of military families. So much for having our back, you god damn liar. www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-roo...
