when you read about how the Nazis rose to power you learn about the SA (Sturmabteilung) who were a group of drunken louts, criminals and thugs to a man

they enforced the brutality of fascism on the streets

but they were just the first step and were replaced with the SS as fascism ascended

On Friday, Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio announced on his podcast that because "it seems like [the] Portland Police Bureau is not doing their job," "the Proud Boys will be coming back to Portland" in "one capacity or another."

"Socialism doesn't work," they say, as they prepare to continue their genocidal economic sanctions and embargoes on the innocent people of Cuba and Venezuela.

"Capitalism definitely works," they say, as they prepare to bail out the unhinged libertarian capitalist government in Argentina.

Me: 🤷🏾‍♂️

Fuck Gavin Newsom. I will never vote for him and you shouldn't either.

Excerpt from an article discussing LGBT+ protections in California legislation. It states that Governor Newsom neither signed nor vetoed certain bills. One bill strengthened protections under Sen. Scott Wiener’s “State of Refuge” law. The highlighted portion reads: “At least four bills directly addressed trans protections,” followed by examples such as healthcare and patient confidentiality, streamlining legal name and gender changes, nondiscrimination in health insurance, and inclusive homelessness programs.

“People over Papers, a crowdsourcing project that maps sightings of US immigration agents, was taken offline yesterday by Padlet, the collaborative bulletin board platform on which it was built. It’s just the latest ICE-tracking initiative to be pulled by tech platforms in the past few days.”

Another effort to track ICE raids was just taken offline

the ones who are in it for good, in it for real, post and riff the way they do because they are facing horrors every day, and have been for longer than you would believe. and we know we don't have the numbers or the power, so we're living richly so we can do brave and poetic things without regret.

Intentionally shopping smaller has been a journey of un training convenience from my routine.
I work too much, so it’s been a challenge.

However: getting to know all the local coffee shops in my neighborhood means: petting more dogs.

Shop small: pet dogs
