Happy Solstice
There is magic waiting to be uncovered in these darkest of days.
It is our invitation to remember and honor the light, that is returning.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

Like im really fleshing out the concept that plantation politics is still visceral today
We have bezos, gates, musk, and trump...
All white men who INHERITED WEALTH are degenerates and it shows via the society they cultivated through the way they use their money
They cause stagnation in the world

Alexis came all the way from North Carolina to tell Tillis: Medicaid keeps her disabled daughter, Kinsley, at home—not in a hospital. “Medicaid is a lifeline.” Families like hers aren’t begging—they’re demanding: Vote NO on cuts, or answer to your constituents. #MedicaidSavesOurLives

Dear Rest of the World who've been wondering why Americans aren't protesting Trump's Fascist Regime:
This is a map of some of the more than 1,100 No Kings! protests planned for today. Two weeks ago more than, 5,500,000 Americans took to the streets. Today's numbers will be even greater.

The constitutional crisis is here.
The President is disobeying lawful court orders. His advisors and allies are cheering him on. And Kilmar Abrego Garcia remains trapped in a jail in El Salvador.

I wonder if Donald’s crime-ing is less exciting and satisfying this time around knowing that HIS Justice Department would never investigate him, much less indict. There’s just no challenge to his criminality anymore. 🤷♂️
Trump tells his followers to buy stock in the morning, minutes after the market opens, then announces he is pausing tariffs 4 hours later.
Nothing to see here.

A federal appeals court in Washington ruled to reinstate the leaders of two independent agencies that handle labor disputes, blocking Trump’s attempt to remove them. These little-known boards protect the rights of federal employees and unionized workers, but they’ve come under the spotlight as

I'm sorry, but any major news media outlet not covering hands off protests, tesla protests, or the acts of popular resistance are making a deliberate choice -- to serve power.

One man just wiped out $10 trillion in wealth, is destroying centuries-old legal protections, and seems determined to unravel humanity’s greatest public health achievement. In 3 months.
I don’t know how we get out of this. But if we do, one person can never have that kind of power again.
