If you have read even a single history of fascism, you are already aware that one thing that its rise has in common in every case is an opposition party that refuses to intervene for fear of looking weak or putting the left into power

I’m looking very casually into Aliyah. Because you just never know. The cats will be the biggest problem. There is a lot of expense and a lot of moving parts to getting them moved. But they’re my babies and leaving them behind would crush my soul.

I’ve never had a passport. I’m looking into getting one, especially since apparently a Real ID is not enough for ICE to prove citizenship. And also, y’know. Just in case. I’ve been looking up fees. AAA and the county have wildly disparate fees listed. 1/2
