self-flagellation and self-hate being another root cause for our failure to work towards a better future, but I think that’s a topic for another time.

you learn take care of yourself, not the kind where you learn to treat yourself and it’s connection with the obsession of dying for a cause rather than living for one, being another root of issues with the american psyche at large, having been raised in a christian/catholic culture of

them. Talk about what you’ve done that’s worked, but don’t tell people not to act. The sooner we can do that, the less people are hurt and the faster we start to see change. Peace y'all. 15/15

An additional note– I have some thoughts on the lack of self love and care, that being the kind where

is worth something, and trying to dissuade them against action is usually not going to get them to do the same thing you’re doing, it’s going to get them to go back to being apathetic, and feel like there’s nothing they can do again.

I’m not saying you need to throw your weight behind the 13/15

it’s not worth it. It doesn’t mean you need to compromise on everything, but you have to work with what you have.

I’ve noticed a trend, in that so many people demand that people *don’t* put their effort into something because they believe it’s not going to work. Every option of fighting back 12/15

biggest issue we have as those that are the first to be sacrificed is biting down the bile and hatred we have for the formerly apathetic, for watching so many of us suffer until it hurts them too, and working together with them. The burden is always on us, and always has been. It doesn’t mean 11/15

government help we’ve fought for and relied on for years. That being said–

In a horribly macabre way, we’re getting there, and I don’t think it’s that far off. More people are standing up and asking for help, they’re moving together and following a way to move forward. I think the 10/15

unwell. It’s going to be everyone part of the LGBTQIA+ community, but especially trans people.

It’s everyone who’s been struggling and has for a long time, and under the greater public’s nose they’ve been doing everything they can (for a while now) to cut us off from any means of 9/15

them, especially for white people, to recognize these things are connected and do something about it. Until then, it’ll be down to those of us the least able to give and those targeted. It’s going to be black people. The neurodivergent. It’s going to be the physically disabled and the mentally 8/15

seized middle America for years. Others will watch their spouse or parents be deported, or die in a holding center and voted for it, and stick by their decision even after that loss.

I think the problem is that it’s going to take a lot of people a lot more time, and a lot more loss around 7/15

who has dumped money into Trump or others, be it merch or donations, hoping that this time, *this* time, they’ll be saved. Those people have had their lives destroyed too, and are stuck. In real time, people are being lost into unchecked gambling, or have been lost to the drug epidemic that’s 6/15

then it’s mostly people who have directly been in the crosshairs the last few years.

Even then! A lot of those same people have had close friends or family who get sucked into the cycle of incarceration for years, and they wouldn’t count those people. Or they have an uncle, parent, or sibling 5/15

taken or destroyed before they’ll act.

That sounds like a crazy high number, but the truth is, there’s a significant lack of empathy in the US. There are people who already understand, and it’s sizable. But for a lot of those people, they’re already on the left and have been observant, and 4/15

who knows a senator(3rd degree) who’s met Obama (4th degree). I think at the end of the day, enough Americans aren’t going to stand up to protect themselves and each other against the current regime until around 50% of the population has, on average, 3 people 1 degree away, get their lives 3/15

me, but I need to get this off my chest.

Do you ever hear about someone talking about the degrees of separation between people? As in, how many degrees of separation is a person away from say, Obama or whoever. Maybe you have a parent(1st degree) who knows the head of a bank(2nd degree) 2/15

I don’t really like to talk on social media, and more and more I’m scared to leave a paper trail, of any kind regardless of how I actually feel. But I feel the need to share some feelings. I’m also feeling a little bad for talking about this IMMEDIATELY after some new friends started following 1/15

Stop KOSA Sneak Attack

Reskeet this until it breaks. Then reskeet it again.

We need to flood Congress with phone calls TODAY to make sure they don't slip the dangerous and misguided Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) into a must-pass year end bill.

This bill would make kids LESS safe and threatens LGBTQ ppl & human rights.

Congress: Protect The Right to Dissent Congress is considering a bill that threatens free speech under the guise of national security - and we can’t let it pass. Take action against this harmful reaction to pro-Palestinian protests.

This honestly blows my mind: the House is poised to pass BIPARTISAN legislation tomorrow that will hand Trump terrifying powers to crush nonprofits and his enemies.

Dems need to hear from you: H.R. 9495 is a dangerous gift for aspiring dictator. It must be stopped. action.aclu.org/send-message...
