Parkrose Permaculture on YouTube explains the purpose of our protests. We've had several throughout the states, and at least 3 mass national protests iirc. Our protests are NOT meant to be the only tool used, nor quick fixes. So please take some time to learn about them if you are still confused.

Fellow white people: Call out injustice! Because bigots only care what we have to say, and far too few of us do call them out. This is our responsibility to our neighbors.

Not All Superheroes Wear Capes. More of this please 🙏

As someone who couldn't even do these in high school and has asthma, I'm surprised they have these requirements now. Yal Qaeda isn't exactly known for their athleticism.

There are definitely two types of people. I was watching the video where ICE tackled a woman and the comments were horrifying. Some said they could watch it all day and this is what they voted for and then there are those of us who are only interested in equality for all.

Washington Republicans want to spend $0 on making health care affordable, but they support:

– $200M for Trump's ballroom

– $172M for Kristi Noem's private jet

– $51M in taxpayer-funded political ads

– $10M to promote Trump's Scotland golf course

Oh yes! Don't get me wrong, there are so many people who are very vocally against Netanyahu and the IDF. The protests of young adults burning their military duty papers (not sure what they are called) in defiance of the IDF sticks out in my mind. It is the large group that when polled (more

While we spectate on The East Wing being torn down, it isn’t just another hallway, it’s where Eleanor Roosevelt built the modern Office of the First Lady, where WWII bunkers were hidden, and where the public enters the People’s House. Erasing it is rewriting history.

Shubh Deepavali! Wishing everyone a very happy Diwali.

Across our city, families are lighting diyas and celebrating the triumph of light over darkness and hope over despair.

New York shines brighter tonight because of the people who bring their light and traditions home.

That's the thing that is so aggravating. If you don't like abortion, gay marriage, leftist books, education, non-Christian faiths, healthcare, etc, then you do not have to have those! The REST of us would like the freedom to live our lives authentically and safely.

No, we can’t just agree to disagree on our opinions and live peacefully together when one person’s opinion is that the other can’t live in peace. Everyone already knows this, yet people pretend otherwise when it inconveniences them

One of many reasons Cuomo is losing (besides having sexually abused women) is because not only New Yorkers are fed up with the corrupt political system currently being abused by politicians, so are all American voters! Mamdani is seen as transparent, and is in tune with voters nation wide!

So the people will also have to be held accountable for their role. But it pales in comparison to that of those in power. The souls of our nations are ruled by dark, nefarious forces, and we as societies will need to find ways to reconcile that, address it, and move forward together.

Magzie @magziepie1920.bsky.social · 1d

This point is something that haunts me. I'm a big supporter of people, not governments. However, people need to hold their governments accountable, and there is a large number of Israelis who support the actions of their government. Yet, there are a large number of Americans supporting fascism.
