"We’re never to see peace—none of us—until we come to recognize that a child of a culture that is not our own is as precious as one who is."

"It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till."
-JRR Tolkien
A pair of quotes today, relevant to our lives in this moment.
"They accept evil not because they say yes, but because they don't say no.”
"There is no justice, there is just us."
-Sir Terry Pratchett GNU
Absolutely, pigs have never done anything to deserve a compatison to Trump. It's bad enough the poor porkers have to be associated with fascist thugs with badges.
Because they are collaborators.
We're beyond investigations. A liberation must take place. Abolish ICE, prosecute it's agents and leaders, and free the people they've abducted.
One thing Star Trek has taught me which I truly believe is true, utopia is a journey not a destination. Building utopia means continuously seeking to better yourself and the rest of humanity.
Home Alone 😭
"Warp me!"
Others have said it, but it merits repeating, "comply or die" is a weird policy for a "free" country to have.
It's awfully charitable to call them people. Plenty are just bots and the ones that are physically human clearly have the intellectual and emotional capacity of a teaspoon.
I wouldn't say such an awful thing about the Grinch.
Blessed solstice to you and yours
We come now out of the long night and the light returns
Let us make this world brighter for all and cast away the darkness that seeks to consume us
OMG, are you hiring!?
Hey there self-professed Christians. Just a reminder to commit some Christ-like heresy today. Because the people that Jesus called out weren't the minorities, foreigners, and oppressed, they were the wealthy and religious leaders. So do what Jesus would do, tell off the church!
A true statement, but given my particular surroundings I must say I feel rather beset by collaborators.
It didn't happen today, and it won't fix everything when it does, but one of these days it will happen and when it does we can all feel a little bit better. Come ye soon, o frabjous day.
Don't ever forget, your government acts in your name. If you wouldn't protect murderers and pedophiles in your personal life, you shouldn't do it just because they happen to be politicians in your preferred team color.
What was the point of all the suffering when you spineless fucks bend the knee for nothing? Fucking worthless cowards. May you all rot.
i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.
Lando Calrissian tells Han, Leia and Chewie, "I've just made a deal that'll keep the Empire out of here forever."
Agreed, to fold now is to turn every sacrifice into meaningless suffering and hand the Trump regime a wholly unearned victory. Democrats must remain steadfast and demand the Republicans acquiesce.
I've seen nothing more than the usual limp bullshit from collaborators like Schumer and Fetterman.
