Just finished "Braiding Sweetgrass" by Robin Wall Kimmerer
It had been on my TBR pile for a while and I'm glad I took the time to savor this one. A very good read, especially this time of year and in these times.

"I don't do politics" is just a cheat-code for supporting fascism without having to say that you support fascism.

The "all lives matter" and "a fertilized egg is a human life" people want you to know that they'll kill you if it makes them an extra $10.

GOV. WALZ: “Now that Minnesota has been taken out of the investigation, it feels very difficult that we will get a fair outcome. And I say that only because people in positions of power have already passed judgment. They have stood and told you things that are verifiably false.”

End ICE. Abolish Qualified Immunity.
ICE fascists murdered Renee Good. Renee's partner died in 2023. They had a 6 year old child.
ICE fascists just orphaned a 6 year old by murdering his mother in broad daylight. They murdered her less than a mile from where Derek Chauvin murdered George Floyd.

In systems design a common heuristic is: A system is defined by what it does
In other words, it doesn’t matter the intent or lack-there-of when building and deploying a system. It is only defined by its actual output

ICE data confirms:
•Only 3.1% of people sent to CECOT have a violent criminal record
•Only 3.4% of people they arrested in Chicago have a violent criminal record
•More than 75K people they've arrested have no violent criminal record
•Nearly 100% are Latino
This is not due process. This Is Fascism.

The Venn diagram between people who say vaccines don't work because one person they know got sick anyway and gun laws don't work because Australia had their first deadly mass shooting in 29 years, is a perfect circle.
It's an anti-science, anti-common sense, anti-humanity, dangerous cult.

This World AIDS Day, we remember the hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers lost to HIV and AIDS, and those living with HIV today. We must remind ourselves and each other that the fight isn’t over until the epidemic is over for everyone.

Trump calls to hang Democrats who oppose him
US Coast guard no longer considers swastika a hate symbol
97.4% of (mostly) Latinos ICE arrested have 0 criminal record
This is what systemic white supremacy looks like. Trump is building a Nationalist Christian (Nat-C) state to violently stifle dissent.

Trump has clearly manifested himself as human garbage every hour of every day for 10 years. So while, yes, it's gratifying that more people seem to be finally noticing, a little, maybe, two questions come to mind:
1. What the fuck took you so long?
2. What are you going to do about it now?

The neat thing about being innocent of a horrific crime—especially while you have complete control over the government—is you have zero hesitation to release the overwhelming files of evidence proving you’re 100% innocent.
Guilty people, however, do the exact opposite.

But among the ones that said yes, Mosque and black churches
A woman on TikTok did a social experiment where she had sound effects of a crying baby and called up churches saying she ran out of formula and asked if the church would feed her starving baby.
Over 75% said no.
She'd then ask if they're a pro-life church at which point most hang up.

Schumer & Jeffries should have the integrity to resign from their positions in leadership. They've failed, badly. Either they cannot control their caucuses or they're lying & secretly pushed this vote through behind the scenes.
Either way, their betrayal of the American people is indefensible.
