I wish Democrats would start just speaking the truth:
“ICE is killing American citizens in public for exercising their freedom of speech because Donald Trump wants to be a king.
This isn’t about immigration—Trump wants to make it illegal to oppose him, and to stay in power until he dies.”

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey: "I just saw a video of more than 6 masked agents pummeling one of our constituents and shooting him to death. How many more residents, how many more Americans need to die or get badly hurt for this operation to end?"

Trying to remain calm while Deutsch Post is fucking with me.
Failing miserably at it.
Luckily the quiet ordinances at Staatbibliothek are forcing me to keep quiet instead of screaming.
Yes I am aware this is an 'everyone who lives in Germany' experience

I'm grateful to have a hobby that helped me find friends after I moved abroad. It's tough navigating a new city and create a new social circle at the same time.

Keep writing and making art. If not because you love the drunk joy of being a whirling djinn of muse-haunted makings, then because no one can stop you. So do it, be mule-headed, be tenacious. Win out of spite. Be the vindictive petty bitch you were born to be. Only the yawning grave can stop you. ✊️
