Can’t wait to roll all the bigots and fascists up into a ball, yeet it into space, and watch it explode into a brand new constellation that will serve as a reminder for the rest of time.

yea thanks. I shouldn't have sounded so arrogant as not everyone has the ability to talk to Braddock locals, I was lucky to have a coworker who lived there years ago when he first became Mayor.

But yea, I wanted to like him at first but after watching him closely here, he wasn't good.

This is half-serious, half-comfort reading <3

from Lessons from Cats for Surviving Fascism
By Stewart Reynolds

"Cats understand something that fascists never will: rest is not
weakness; it's strategy.
While fascists are busy running around, barking orders (like... ewww, dogs), and trying to micromanage the world into submission, cats are stretched out in a sunbeam, storing energy for their next great act of defiance-whether it's another daring vault to the top of the fridge or the overthrow of a corrupt regime.
Fascists, bless their brittle egos, don't get this at all. They thrive on forcing people to overwork, overthink, and overworry. It's all part of their plan: keep you too tired to resist, too frazzled to fight back.
But here's the thing they don't expect: naps.
Sweet, glorious naps. Nothing confounds a fascist more than someone who looks them dead in the eye and says, "You know what? I think I'm going to take a nap and deal with you later."

Tonight's uplifting, fun read
Lessons from Cats for Surviving Fascism by Stewart "BrittleStar" Reynolds
#BookSky #amreading

Cover for Lessons from Cats for Surviving Fascism by Stewart "BrittleStar" Reynolds, an ivory to oatmeal cover with red yarn lines creating a dog's head silhouette, while the titular black cat loafs, one paw extended to hold the yarn ball 'eye' of the dog. The author's name is at the bottom in red. The title angles around the dog's snout. It's simple, timeless, crisp, engaging.

"Israeli politics, not Zionism. "

uh.....

I guess this is what Zionist apologism looks like in action.

I saw the Portland local government today, posting on Facebook that the helicopters there belong to the feds/ICE and not to the city.

They're probably doing similar in Chicago.

screenshot of Fb post from City of Portland, saying "there is an increased presence of helicopters over Portland...this appears to be related to federal law enforcement and is not related to City activities or something we can control"

I mean, if you listened to people in Braddock even when he was first getting started, he never really cared about social justice and just used that whole town to build himself up for federal politics.

He also has been pro-fracking in his past, there were signs..

why do bigots target transgender people, or immigrants when they aren't hurting anyone either?

its bigotry, it's not rational.

they fear anyone who isn't just like them, it's a fear of difference, not a fear of inferiority.
