That’s my hope: Americans get fed up with this and fight for our rights and needs.

But I’m worried that propaganda will continue to placate the masses.

So much for “government financial efficiency.“

This is detrimental to community, especially community organizing against fascism.

Like it or not, community is shown to improve mental health.

I’ve been listening to a lot of indigenous teachings on community. It’s really impactful.

What the absolute fuck.

I noticed this phrasing as well. Our government is taking this money from the poorest half of its citizens, and Trump either doesn’t know that or is intentionally clouding the waters for those who still dont know what tariffs are.

I’m frustrated at the ultra-zoom-in of the charts. The stock isn’t even back down to what it was last year, yet.

There is a lot further to go.

“Nazi-like salute…”

Ugh.

We’re on our way to state-sanctioned physical and emotional torture. They won’t stop at trans people, or gay people, either. When one group loses their rights, everyone does.

Women choose the bear. The bear kills for survival. Men degrade women as a grotesque show of unearned power.

Good. We Americans need to learn the lesson that, in fact, we are not, have never been, and cannot be individualists. We are dependent on our neighbors: personally, nationally, and internationally.

We also need to learn that we cannot sustain ourselves by constantly taking: taking from each other, taking from nature, and taking from the future generations. We have become a nation of consumers, not citizens, and that is morally wrong. We expect to take with no consequences, and that’s just not how Earth works.

they rewrote his comments to apply only to "Hamas" even though that's not what he said.

…Jesus fucking Christ.

Correct me if I’m wrong because I’m ignorant about the details, but support of Palestinian citizens and and advocating AGAINST mass murder of civilians and children is not the same as supporting Hamas and the attack Hamas initiated, right??

Like. I’d protest in opposition to the random (or not so random) bombings of American hospitals and neighborhoods without being in support the Trump administration.
