Dream dragons repel the horrors. Somewhat.
The great irony of this moment is, due to the rise of fascism, I’ve never been more angry at my fellow humans. But, due to the rise of AI, I’ve never appreciated my fellow humans so much.
they should make a movie series about how it’s irresponsible to use technology to mess with the natural order of things for profit
“House Speaker Johnson finds it challenging to show the barest hint of moral fiber.” Fixed it.
What’s nice about cowls is you don’t have to wrap them a bunch of times and tuck the ends in to places they might get pulled under a bag strap or something.
Try a cowl?
Yeah, I know the senator already voted against DHS funding. But I don’t want him to vote yes as soon as they promise to wear body cameras. Or as soon as Chuck “Chucklefuck” Schumer tells him to.
White women out here doing free emotional labor for exhausted senate clerks tired of getting 400 calls a day about ICE funding. (I am, in fact, the white woman in this scenario.)

-Raided a GA election office for voting files
-Lost a suit in OR trying to access voter files
Things they did not do:

Somehow with everything else going on it didn’t cross my mind that we’d still have to do taxes this year.

A few months ago, ICE hired me
I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable

I want to tell you about what's happening here in Minnesota.
Screenshot meme from the movie “Hocus Pocus.” The two bullies from the movie are speaking. One says to the other, “I told you, my name’s not Gestapo anymore.” He turns around and reveals ICE shaved into the back of his head. He says “It’s ice.”
We live in the most ridiculous timeline.

Guys, it’s the poverty. Stop throwing money at symptoms, please.
History rhymes HARD sometimes.
What an ancient rebellion--
and a medieval midrash featuring ancient surveillance & a desperate bride named Hannah bat Mattisyahu, a heroine kindling revolt--
can teach us about not only igniting,
but winning, against the moral evils in our midst today:
The problem with asking abolitionists how to prevent violent and sexual crimes is that it presupposes that the current system actually addresses sexual or violent crimes when it categorically does not. The United States has the lowest clearance rates for violent crimes in the developed world.
