Reducing Muslims and anyone remotely brown to terrorists, yeah, that was "unity". Great that you think we're missing MORE xenophobic messaging today. I remember my cousin getting assaulted as a student in NYC in the aftermath of insurmountable tragedy. Jfc some people just exhale toxins

9/11/2001 I was a freshman in high school in Alabama, I wore a hijab. In gym class my teacher wheeled in a screen. Something horrible was happening. I watched, mouth agape as the second tower hit. We were silent. As that period reached an end, my name was announced on the loud speaker. 1/

I'm generally too exhausted these days to post on here but goddamn if we aren't being punished for the insecurities of these frail bellend claw-handed money-grubbers in power, because how dare we have lives that are not oriented around feeding their fragile egos

The US continues to poison its Arctic relationships while Canada and allies strengthen them and move toward a more just Arctic. The road is a long one still, but...the US continues to backslide stupidly toward obscurity, further injustice, and idiocy www.canada.ca/en/global-af...

Jfc American governance is disintegrating trust with allies at the speed of stupidity. The worst part is, the US enjoyed the best of this cooperative relationship already. The people of Greenland do not need further trauma by American idiocy. Their right to self-determination MUST be honoured

This gentleman identified himself as Marshawn. Remember these good words. Remember the power in them, and that he's speaking truth to power before these forwards, this last gasp of the Confederacy. Whether they feel shame or not, speak these words to their faces often and loudly.

The lashing out of authoritarianism is because it's circling the drain...the last hurrah of a system we are rejecting. We have to be persistent, keep the pressure on. Don't let the mfers tell you that we have no power. This terrifies them.

A thing of beauty, this. This is the country we are working to build...this is the society we have the capacity to create. Will it be easy? No. But we cannot let apathy rule us, we have to keep hoping and working because the fascists' success hinges on us giving up.

They need to hear this regularly and loudly. I don't want to hear that they'll never be held accountable. That's up to us, because nobody else will hold these fascists to account but us. It may not be tomorrow or next week or next year, but they'll have it coming. That's my rep!

I think a lot about how shame is not a useful emotion, because it doesn't change people for the better. It's the idea of "I'm a loathesome person" and the good people will take it and apologize for existing and the shitty ones lash out because they hate themselves. Case in point, the US regime rn

"Hope is not a naïve emotion. It is a sober responsibility. Hope is what we do when the odds are long and the options limited. It is the stubborn act of trying when despair feels easier." I needed this today. That's exactly what we're working for...choosing hope and fighting.

I think a lot about how we were told to stay away from strangers as a kid, or be careful and stay in groups with friends, because there were bad people who'd take you away. Those bad people are this fascist regime and their gestapo thugs.
