“Your Honor, what right does ANYONE have to decide whether or not I can take & keep their things? In this country, we don’t keep men like me from taking what they want from people like them, and this court has a responsibility to affirm that truth for any & all to see, know, and eventually believe.”

“But your honor, how am I going to steal everybody’s stuff if stealing everybody’s stuff remains illegal? Can you see what I’m up against here? I’m just a man with a dream of owning everybody’s else’s stuff, THWARTED by facts and legalities and red tape and the owner of the stuff trying to stop me.”

@astrodim.bsky.social hope you've been well. Was just scrolling & catching up. I was today years old when I learned "Saturn wants us to be bad." 🥴 Is that a perspective related to lessons Saturn wants us to learn or is just bc of a current transit (if you have any insight on it)?

Contributing to campaigns for Dems who refuse to acknowledge reality and just want to do business as usual and take no action to fight fascism? Why? That would simply reinforce their behavior.
