Renato the Anti-Fascist Gatto

So yeah, I guess this post was about “The Gilded Age” season 2? 🫠🙃🥴

Because the “American Dream” propaganda told to us all — maybe that will be me! All the while the possibility of moving up economically with “bootstraps” and hard work is more impossible than it has ever been. And so, here we are. Where we have always been. Worse. Cruelty and hate continues.

The robber barons are more powerful than ever. Workers have less rights and some of the poorest communities have been inundated with propaganda that makes them not know how to organize and unite, but instead support the Musks, Trumps, Zuckerbergs, Bezos oppressors

Anyway. It’s well-written, relevant. Especially when the Trump administration is literally rewriting history at the Smithsonian and in school curriculum. We’re 150 years later and the U.S. is in many ways worse/the same. Capitalism and cruelty is still king. The myth of America needs to be unmasked

that got suffocated, destroyed, oppressed later with the KKK, Jim Crow, redlining, gerrymandering, and racist policing. Booker T. Washington was an enslaved person who had the ability to build colleges, power, a movement! A black child born in poverty in the U.S. now has less ability to move up

…the hate for immigrants while using them, the well-done historical depiction of how Black Americans less than 20 years out of the civil war had more opportunity to organize, and ability to build up their own communities with businesses and colleges…

The robber barons, the lack of desire by the rich to pay a living wage to people that make them money, to pay taxes, to support healthcare for everyone, the cruelty, the use of “the Army” to threaten & murder the working class so they’ll continue accepting unlivable wages to make more for the rich

But I might inch in slowly for little things. My dumb inspiration right now? “The Gilded Age” season 1 did not pull me in. But with a lack of good shows, I went back to watch season 2. I am struck by the parallels of 1883 in the U.S. to now.

If you pay attention & care, I’m preaching to the choir. If you don’t, you lack empathy & desire for awareness that I don’t know how to teach. I’d be arrogant to think I could. You feel good & safe? Don’t care about what’s happening to others?(There IS a cat in this pic. And that’s how I feel too)

I’m going to pepper posts with Renato #catpics to give some fuzzy nose-bump relief. Fell off socials. When you are locked into the news daily and it only gets worse every day globally (not hyperbole, realism) — it feels pointless and exhausting to continue to comment on the constant degradation

Text reading: I had to come down to Los Angeles for Work and ended up trying to help with the raid last night. As a Bernie usefully. Waited by the entrance for detainees We were repeatedly denied access of any kind, and eventually LAPD force removed attorneys ice. Also tear gassed a baby under age two. Today they told us to come back at eight to see the clients, but they ever refused entry to us as well as politicians, including Jimmy, Gomez, and right now. They’re releasing some kind of gas, so the Attorneys can’t breathe

Text reading: Post it so everyone knows. When we were trying to chant their rights ice honked so no one could hear.

Here are some texts I got from an immigration lawyer friend of mine. Shared with permission. Some of the bleakest shit I’ve ever heard.

Imagine putting on all this tactical gear and latching onto a military assault vehicle so you can storm a minimall on Sepulveda and apprehend a line cook at family restaurant.

Bravo, Francesco 💖💖💖

Screenshot of message from my cat’s GPS app saying, “In the last few days, you and Renato have been a bit lazy, if you both work a little bit harder, you’ll be perfect” 🖕🏼

Bought a new GPS tracker for Renato from an Italian company. When I say Italy takes the World Cup in fat-shaming, believe it. This app sent me a message not only fat-shaming my cat, but also me! (FOR THE RECORD: I walked 8.5 miles the day before 😂). Ma vafannculo va. Rena is unaffected by the haters

The full quote from RFK, Jr. is truly disgusting and this is 100% him calling for institutionalization of autistic people. This is horrifying.

Been seeing this headline used a lot recently I unfortunately think it will not be out of use for quite a while

RFK is a eugenics freak first and foremost and everything falls downstream from that. he *wants* excess deaths. he thinks that only the "fit" should survive.

We Americans deserve to be questioned and yelled at by non-Americans, but I can’t tell you how exhausting/depressing it is to be seen as a U.S. representative by every Italian that hears my accent. I don’t blame them. I get it. I agree. But the face plant of shame and embarrassment is daily now.

Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared. ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, our analysis shows.

As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.

NH’s new ID requirements send some would-be voters home to grab passports, birth certificates The law requires all new voters to show proof of their U.S. citizenship. For some, that meant making multiple trips to and from the polls before finally casting a ballot on Tuesday.

As predicted, women in New Hampshire had a hard time voting yesterday because of the new proof of citizenship law:

“It doesn’t have my married name on it,” she said. Town voting officials then sent her away a second time, to get her marriage certificate.

Hello, I’m a disruptor, very smart, here to create efficiency. I’m just going to drill holes in the bottom of this boat to see which parts of the hull are mission-critical.

Holy shit

American hunger and financial ruin, TB and AIDS around the world, measles here, Ukrainian deaths, etc. Someone should maybe start a Trump Regime Death Count kind of like the covid statistics from five years ago.

It seems my aspirations at being a crow lady were short-lived, look at this guy guarding the peanuts. To be fair, the terrace is Renato’s sovereign territory, and I admire his Zelenskyy-esque dedication to protecting it from invaders at all cost

this was always the agenda and some of us said so and were called hysterical bsky.app/profile/jame...
