The call to safely share personal experiences reverberates throughout the struggles of all marginalized people and movements. 🖤

I love how Jenn and the podcast is centering late discovery in the later abortion conversation and how you are calling out “abortion advocates” for intentionally/unintentionally adding fuel to fire in the stigma heap.

Seriously, or heaven. If more people didn’t maybe life in the present would be a motivator.

Today marks the 50th anniversary of THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW. More than just a midnight movie, RHPS became a crucial gathering place for queers, punks, theater kids, and so many others looking for their place...and each other. Irreverent? Yes. Wild? Always. Nonetheless: Don't dream it, be it.

This is great - read it! It offers inspiration in both what the Danish did and what we're already seeing at home today www.thenation.com/article/acti...

The Danes Resisted Fascism, and So Can We

Danish resistance didn’t arrive all at once during World War II. But taken as a whole, the Danes’ actions are a testament to what’s possible when we work together to fight fascism.

Zohran Mamdani just released a statement about Cuomo working with Trump:

NEW YORK, NY – Today, the New York Times reported that Andrew Cuomo is coordinating with President Donald Trump ahead of the upcoming New York City mayoral election to help billionaires buy this race and steal it from the very New Yorkers on the frontlines against Trump's authoritarianism. Andrew Cuomo tried to hide this from the public because he knew how damaging it would be. In response, Zohran Mamdani released the following statement:

“Andrew Cuomo has spent his career governing for the powerful and prioritizing his own self-interests over those of the people he was sworn to serve. This is not just a shady backroom deal by a cynical politician, it is disqualifying. It is a betrayal.

Donald Trump is sending masked agents to rip our neighbors off the street, gutting the social services so many New Yorkers rely on, and threatening to deport me for having the audacity to stand up to him and his billionaire friends. The job of New York City Mayor is not to be jester for a wannabe king, it is to protect the people of this city.”

I hate small talks. I wanna talk about atoms, death, aliens, sex, magic, intellect, the meaning of life, faraway galaxies, the lies you've told, your flaws, your favorite scents, your childhood, what keeps you up at night, your insecurity and fears. I like people with depth, who speak with emotion, a twisted mind. I don't want to know 'what's up?'

Every time they promote this fascist, direct people to Heather Marsh. She has two new books out, How to Create a Mass Movement and How to Dismantle a Dictatorship. Check them out. www.patreon.com/BindingChaos... #BindingChaos
