The fact that this coming 9 days before the largest peaceful protest in modern American history is absolutely intentional. We will not back down. Trump and Miller can lie, smear, and threaten all they want. They will lose. No Kings, No Kings, No Kings. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

ACLU @aclu.org ยท Sep 9
Yesterday's Supreme Court decision endangers our communities and subjects people to immigration stops simply because of the color of their skin, occupation, or the language they speak.

This fight isn't over. Our right to live free from racial profiling is fundamental.

Iโ€™ve been married to my husband for 17 years this past August 2nd. Kim Davis has been through 3 marriages.

Get fucked you miserable hobgoblin.

I finished Fahrenheit 451 only to open my phone and hear about the national guard being deployed in D.C. and the potential overturning of Obergefell vs. Hodgesโ€ฆ เฒ _เฒ  *sigh*

Obergefell v. Hodges made me believe in the whole "arc of history bends towards justice." In the 90s, I didn't think gay marriage would be legalized in my lifetime because homophobia was so deeply ingrained. We would have never gotten here without the decision and now it may be overturned.
*i say vaguely b/c i lowkey be zoning out while reading sometimes lol

also ive been playing that gordon lightfoot song on repeat for the past week because of this podcast

The room to testify against gerrymandering in Texas is full.
This is how it looks outside. All these people want to testify but there isnt enough room/time. The people of Texas oppose gerrymandering.
I read Ken Kesey's ๐—ข๐—ป๐—ฒ ๐—™๐—น๐—ฒ๐˜„ ๐—ข๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—–๐˜‚๐—ฐ๐—ธ๐—ผ๐—ผ'๐˜€ ๐—ก๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜. I thought it was a nice story about power and systems of control; there are some passages throughout the book about women that made me feel icky though, especially with a certain line at the climax in Part IV (?). #booksky
I read Aldous Huxley's ๐—•๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—ก๐—ฒ๐˜„ ๐—ช๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—น๐—ฑ. I found it a little boring until halfway through when John was introduced, so you can see why I acted like THAT (see quoted post) when I got to the last chapter. Despite its flaws prose-wise I thought its ideas & worldbuilding were interesting ๐Ÿ๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ธ. #booksky
I read ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด๐˜€ ๐—™๐—ฎ๐—น๐—น ๐—”๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜ after finishing the thematically similar ๐—ฃ๐—ผ๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜„๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—ฑ ๐—•๐—ถ๐—ฏ๐—น๐—ฒ a few weeks prior. I was surprised to see how nuanced this was regarding views on the white men and Christianity, especially with how the dynamic Okonkwo and Nwoye had was influenced by them.

Not only is it an engaging hunger-games-or-squid-game-esque novel but I also learned a lot about the US Prison System as well!
