Along with several young people I serve, I've begun using a framework of three existential perspectives to create a mindset and setting for existing in 2025.

Also, one of Pittsburgh's classic queer clubs was (is it still open??!!) Pegasus.

This is exactly why things are not shifting faster.

FTMP, white folks and white and assimilated folks with money (Pritzker *is* a legacy billionaire, remember) and power refuse to actually join the work and the battle what is actually happening.

Because, in part, they AGREE with what is happening.

I'm not even lying, if you sing Rainbow Connection but just keep the "Fuck you I won't do what you tell me" line from Killing In the Name Of going through the melody, it's really fun, funny, and energizing.

Portland right now.

Kermit the Frog sitting in his swamp and paying his banjo, singing:

Fuck you I won't do what you tell me Fuck you I won't do what you tell me Fuck you I won't do what you tell me

I didn't make the rules. They did.

He was handsome as fuck. Yes.

Fascism and Anti-Fascism are a strict binary at this point.

The New Republic @newrepublic.com · 7h

It may be—for now—a mild form of fascism. Political opponents aren’t being jailed or shot, entire opposition media outlets aren’t being shuttered, and books aren’t being burned.

But from Chicago to Portland, James Comey to Letitia James, and so much else—this is no longer America. trib.al/a0i8hTE

It's all about archetypes.

I do like Jung's framing. But it doesn't need to be Jung.

I Ching lays out 64 archetypes, and Jung figured his stuff out from I Ching.

Anyway, the construct of the archetype helps me.

What middle and upper class cis het white people need to understand is that they only have as many rights as the most vulnerable do. You have only the rights trans people and immigrants do.

Ryan Marino, MD @ryanmarino.bsky.social · 22h

Do you really have any rights if they are openly saying they will just make up reasons to detain you?

thematthill.bsky.social @thematthill.bsky.social · 3d

Wow. Greg Bovino admits on camera that his agents can detain people if you look scared, change your demeanor, or grip a steering wheel too tight.

As his unmasked agents walk around with large guns to scare you, they may arrest you just for that — even if you're a U.S. citizen.

I almost wish this were the reason for it.

Tricking them.

That's not what's happening.

It's just not.

Whoever is in?

Is *in* on their own at this point.

Everyday, I wonder what lies they are telling Black and brown ICE agents to make them feel special.

The human nervous system is a wondrous thing.

Apparently, I will die forgetting my name and other critical immediate information but if you play the De La Soul joint: Me, Myself, & I... I will be able to do each part with correct prosody and voicing per emcee.

Have to take it out on somebody.

You're right.

'Gory the A'ight @gregoryaight.bsky.social · 10h

Oop, how?

And before you answer, think deeply about the timeframes and about how Fred Rogers moved in the world DURING the time when the entire Republican party... BECAME... the Democratic party.

Also study his life to his death and then his wife's existence in the time of Trump.

Fucking oop.

'Gory the A'ight @gregoryaight.bsky.social · 10h

I appreciate you saying this precisely like this.

'Gory the A'ight @gregoryaight.bsky.social · 10h

Even my Mom, who otherwise was my champion... claimed her entire life he was... well... what the man she married and her Brother-In-Law ended up being and supporting. Think, Epstein Files.

'Gory the A'ight @gregoryaight.bsky.social · 10h

The shit they said about Fred Rogers?

Sincerely, you can imagine and don't want to know.

'Gory the A'ight @gregoryaight.bsky.social · 10h

I was raised by people who hated him.

(Fast Forward)

I only have contact with one blood relative, currently.

'Gory the A'ight @gregoryaight.bsky.social · 10h

It's the exact same thing and conservatives said the same shit and worse about him!

Thank you!

Hard pass, regardless.

I don't have that kind of 'resilience' in the tank, lol.
