Thanks to all who have followed me. I hope to catch up soon returning the follows! 💙 That's the way we share important stuff!! I try to check information, but if something untrue slips by, please let me know! Besides being apathetic, the worst thing we can do right now is spread falsehoods!

On September 4, 1866, President Andrew Johnson set the precedent for Trump’s latest outrage: In Cleveland, Ohio, Johnson called those who opposed his plan for reversing the Union’s Civil War victory (by reinstating and nationalizing the Confederacy) “traitors” and called for them to be hanged.

The bill last numbered H.R. 9495 would empower the Treasury Secretary to designate any nonprofit the Secretary wishes to kill a “terrorist supporting organization” and revoke the tax-exempt status on which it depends for survival. Unconstitutional but lethal in the harm it would do while in force.

If you haven't watched Andor, you should. As someone in the comments said: "It’s wild how a galaxy far, far away keeps saying things that feel closer and closer to home." We did let this rust grow.
One of my absolute favourite monologues from Star Wars.
“There is a wound that won’t heal at the centre of the galaxy, there is a darkness reaching like rust into everything around us. We let it grow. And now it’s here.”
