Just because an action is probably hard, or may not succeed, doesn't mean it shouldn't be attempted.

Keep trying to remove him in any way possible again and again. A tide turns eventually. We gain something with each attempt. By giving up in advance, we gain nothing.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

One of Jesus’s main cannons is to visit the prisoner. Today, Catholic clergy bringing the Eucharist to ICE detainees were turned away by ICE. They literally turned their backs on Jesus.

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

Right?!

18 presumed dead. This place has a government contract for $120 mil, repeated safety violations, at least 46 previous worker injuries, paid $7,200 (!) fine for unsafe conditions. (CNN)The military industrial complex grinds on.

Work places will be less safe going forward due to DOGE.

Reminder that one of the punkest acts of resistance against fascism is putting a mask on in shared air.

It immediately marks you as a brave and safe person for disabled folks. It’s not easy to stick out, yeah.

So imagine how we feel.

It’d be great if you wouldn’t help them by extending the benefit of the doubt, following dubious health advice, treating their side as “reasonable concerns”, and particularly and especially refusing to get vaccinated, wear masks, and clean the air.
