Orwell was off by about forty years with his predictions. And that might seem like a lot, but, viewed through the long lens of history, he almost completely nailed it.

Find your team. We need a multi-tendency movement of movements. Find your front. And trust, it won't be the last. Then dig in and hold the fucking line.

So, if you're feeling tired, burnt out, or discouraged, do what you've gotta do. Tend your wounds. Hug your cat. Watch some bad TV. Don't argue in circles with strangers on social media. Don't tell everyone they're doomed. The world does not need your particular spin on giving up.

It's not about placing themselves at the top. They're already at the top. It's about putting us more firmly under control. Deskilled, devalued, hyper-surveilled, desperate. That vision of fascism won't be defeated in the next two elections. It's a long fight.

And even if they take huge losses during the midterms, we've still got a very ugly road ahead. These people will thrash about and cause tremendous harm. They will keep killing, jailing, kidnapping, and bombing. This is a long fight.

They can lose. But it's going to be messy and dirty. And btw, the midterms are not a lock. They will pull every dirty trick in the book, and then some. We are playing the game at a disadvantage and have to win anyway. That's no easy task.

Any research paper that authentically talks about trans people is as important as a memoir written by a trans person is as important as a zine an angry trans person scrawled out of rage and despair. It tells our story.

Hey California! Be careful this election because the big money creeps are trying to trick you (again).
There's a trap on your ballot in California. Here's how to get past it.
1. Prop 40: 250 billionaires pay with they owe so hospitals, schools, and food assistant survive the federal cuts. Vote yes.
2. Props 41 and 42: paid for by billionaires to cancel prop 40. Vote no.
3. Tell one person, because the confusion is the plan.
Yes I'm 40. No on 41 and 42.

Pundits on the far-right argue that things like LGBTQ+ rights are in opposition to religious freedoms. They are not. Religious freedoms allow people to live their own lives according to their own beliefs. It does *not* allow people to control how other people live their own lives.
