it’s so funny that shelved by genre is reading a comic called promethea, which is the superhero name i gave my masks pc’s mom in 2019. but due to alan moore’s whole block theory of time i think he actually stole it from me

How did you celebrate anti-communism week?
Lining up at a food bank? Finding out you’d lose access to healthcare? Being unable to afford housing?

If the Dems will cave on this there is no right of yours that they will not throw away if it means they can go on vacation.

Two things need to happen simultaneously:
1) A rapid mobilization and expansion of mutual aid networks to protect, feed, and care for each other
2) A tireless effort to elect progressive politicians looking to oust these fascists and their spineless enablers
