yes this is a post about my Vermonter neighbors who are too busy being nice to imagine what radical kindness might be (sometimes it is not listening to cops when they first take your neighbors without cause while they are suited up for war & you’re in the house shoes you ran over in)

the quiet part loud: forced pregnancy and birth in the name of white Christian supremacy & nationalism. claiming religious freedom. these fascists want people puppy mills so goyim can reallocate a resource to the people they fit. this has always been true and yet… 🤮
