Our senators are toothless and spineless. What are they actually doing while people are being randomly snatched of the street - β€œwell, um, the senator has opened up an enquiry” and how hard will the fight the voter suppression, so called, β€˜SAVE’ act?

Only 11 a.m and I’ve had enough β€œnews”. Tell me something happy.

I feel this. Some days-weeks-months- entire years are like this. Keep slogging. Keep looking for glimmers of joy. I know it’s hard. I’m slogging behind you.

My iris have never successfully bloomed again in the autumn. The Gladiolus blooms are kinda freaky.

My iris has been blooming all month- it is still blooming. I’m trying to appreciate the beauty and not fear what it portends.

This is the rallying call that I've needed to hear since November 6th. From Roxane Gay in today's New York Times www.nytimes.com/2024/11/17/o...

O.k. People, we know 45 is willing to invoke a state of emergency and martial law to enact his dastardly deportation plans. Scary, yes, got it. Totally get that we’re all traumatized. I want to know what you, yes YOU, are going to do to stand in the way? How can we work together to be disruptive?

O.K. So we know 45 will declare martial law and issue round ups and it’s scary, yup. So what are we willing to do to stand in the way of this plan? What are your plans for disruption?

With the news that Trump is planning to declare a national emergency and use the military to enact mass deportations, I want to remind everyone that this is also part of the plan to denaturalize American-born citizens, by declaring them to be part of an invading force. 1of2

Your letter to council is a great example. I will copy (with a few personal tweaks) with your permission. Thank you.

In light of the coming kakistocratic and fascist regime preceded by complacency and Bigtop distractions, Deb, a 60 yo whyte lady has chosen to become an opsimath to embrace the wisdom of willing teachers.

They want you to feel powerless and to surrender and to let them trample everything and you are not going to let them. You are not giving up, and neither am I.

When you wear an N95 to an organizing event you are sending a signal to high risk people that:
1. I care about you
2. I understand that public health has been made into a tool of propaganda
3. I will keep you safe, even if I'm not worried for myself
4. I am willing to listen 1/3
