The ultra-wealthy keep trying to pit the rest of us against each other with scare tactics ("communists!" "men in the ladies room!!" "brown people!!!" "drag queens!!!!") to keep us from noticing that our real problem is THEM. They want us to fight *any* war—except a class war. Happy Labor Day.

I get.the sentiment, but it kind of seems like saying 'you aren't fascist, you aren't authoritarian, you're a supremacist'. I just think all the options are equivalent 🤷‍♀️
If you still support the Trump administration you aren't MAGA, you aren't America First, you are just an Epstein Republican.

Post quote from @thebloggess.
If you're sad (as I am) by Dolly Parton passing, find the things that made her so special and needed and carry those on. Donate books. Help hungry children. Be kinder than you have to. Learn. Listen. Grow. Laugh. Love everyone. Find joy and spread it. It'll take a lot of us to make up for the enormous hole she leaves behind. 

If you're reading this, I love you.

A big part of these proposals is to make employers take out insurance to cover employee sickness costs, removing that obligation from state. I’m sure the fact Arron Banks runs an insurance company is just a coincidence.

There are so many wildfires in Wales. It's truly shocking. When we moved here, we gave consideration to flood risks; but the possibility of the whole country being in a drought and wildfires getting close enough to see/smell was not on my risk register. 1/2
