an honest look at the evidence illustrates that the definition of feminine under white supremacy is 'as close to a child but still capable of bearing another generation of children' as possible and i hate knowing that.

Masking is a subversive act and it’s also a great way to show that you in fact are part of a community that is willing to fight and not give in to lies or coercion.
Masks are power and the more people who wear them the more power we have as a group

Dear Manager:
1. Climbed every mountain.
2. Forded every stream.
3. Followed every rainbow.
4. Found my dream.
5. Pulled the distributor caps out of Nazi truck engines so my friends could escape you and find freedom.

As someone who's studied institutional change for 20+ years:
The most dangerous part isn't the dramatic moments. It's the quiet compromises, the small rationalizations, the 'practical' decisions.
Democracy erodes through a thousand tiny choices, not one big one.

The literal wealthiest man in the world donating hundreds of millions of dollars to a presidential campaign and getting rewarded with a government post where he can award his companies with contracts is the most cartoonish possible rendering of what people warned about after Citizens United.

They're testing the limits of public reaction before escalating further. The Nazis aren’t a glitch; they’re a trial balloon for open fascism. If the backlash is weak, the next step follows. You stop this now, or you let them redefine “acceptable” until the unthinkable is policy.

Important addendum: once you gather friends, find a group working on what you care about (odds are there is one!) and ask how you can help them. You don't have to start from scratch and they'll have expertise you can learn from. Welcome to the convo. Listen to those who've been working for a while.
