In one of my appointments with my shrink this year, we were talking activism, and I said “I prioritize nonviolence, but sometimes you need to punch Nazis, but you gotta choose your time carefully and make it count because that IS assault.” He didn’t tell me not to. 😆

Yeah, seems very likely that they think they’ll get a presidential pardon to save them. Who knows, maybe they would. Cheeto Benito has given pardons and other rewards to many of his fans, but not all of them.

Just as we’re all protesting for free, I imagine they’re probably attacking us for free. But it also wouldn’t surprise me if they did it hoping to get trump to notice them and reward them in some way, or maybe have a reason to set up a GoFundMe for themselves.

I was proud of my sign today. (Photo taken before protest because we didn’t bring phones.)

I’m proud of you too!! No agoraphobia, but I have bad anxiety, so I can relate to having trouble with crowds. You are awesome and deserve all the time you need to unwind!

Joined my fellow humans in the human activity of protesting against fascism. I was very happy with my Earth sign. Humans love signs. Humans do not love tyranny. #nokings #protest #fuckice #humansdoinghumanthings

This is why we need to keep up the humor during protests. Don’t give them a photo op that they can spin to say we’re scary or violent.

⚠️ STATES, LOCALS, TRIBAL NATIONS, TERRITORIES ⚠️

HHS has eliminated EVERY SINGLE SAFEGUARD FOR DATA PROTECTION AT CDC. Giving data to CDC is no longer safe and puts your residents at risk.

Unless and until all CDC’s data protections are restored you should consider CDC a bad actor.

Chicago, if you need to stop a member of the Texas National Guard, just sing “The stars at night are big and bright!” It will compel them to drop everything, clap four times, and sing “Deep in the heart of Texas!”

I’m mostly joking, but it’s so ingrained, a few may start to react automatically.

Advice from a Texan: if you see them starting something, sing “The stars at night are big and bright!” They will be compelled to drop their weapons in order to clap four times and sing “Deep in the heart of Texas!” It’s drilled into all Texans.

Do you or someone you know need to get out of the US for safety? Here’s resources! The folks putting this project together are now working on getting registered as a nonprofit to be able to fundraise and help people with passport fees, etc. #leaveamerica #asylum #immigration

Also, health care is a basic human right, so while the US has never given free healthcare to undocumented immigrants and is not trying to start with this budget, it SHOULD be giving free healthcare to everyone—citizen, legal alien, illegal immigrant, any status.

Dear Santa,

I have been very good this year. For Christmas I want the release of the Epstein files.

Catholicism DOES consider abortion to save the parent’s life acceptable because we are not morally obligated to die for someone else. (Source: the Catholic priest who taught my Catholic Moral Life class at a Catholic university.) And yeah, current abortion laws ignore that this situation exists.

In case anyone needs to hear this today: living under fascism is difficult if you have a conscience, even if you’re a cishet white Christian man. You deserve to have as much emotional support cheese and chocolate as you want.

One of my great-uncles was a survivor of the Battle of the Bulge. (On the Allied side, since it needs to be restated that this is the good side.) Why I never heard about this for 38 years, I’ll never know. But I bet he’d be pretty damn disappointed in his descendants if we weren’t anti-fascist.
