Worth noting!
If they are arresting elected officials doing their job, is anyone safe?
A shout out to all the people who put their bodies on the line to protect our immigrant community & our rights.
Ald. Jessie Fuentes (26th Chicago) was checking on someone injured by #ICELawlessness (with a broken leg), when ICE agents demanded then shoved, handcuffed & arrested her.
Speak out!
Merry Christmas to all who celebrate
Wishing you and yours a blessed winter solstice. Be warmed and filled.

Do you think Trump is making the authoritarian shift?
Has he consolidated enough power with the courts on his side and Congress doing his bidding that public approval doesn't matter anymore?
Is it possible that by identifying certain people as members of a minority group whose rights must be defended we inadvertently give bigots, white supremacist and queer phobic people, a justification for promoting their hierarchical thinking?
Nevermind, I understood that correctly but my brain said, "no way that's a thing, they must be talking about the Navy drilling for its own oil."
People oil their navals?
Oh wait, I read that wrong, didn't I?
Make sure everyone you know hears about #ICELawlessness & knows the story of US CITIZEN & IRAQ WAR VETERAN, George Retes.
"ICE officers used tear gas, broke his car window, and applied physical force, including kneeling on him, while he complied with their instructions."
Is this freedom?
Translation: we'd love to get rid of this popular program that makes everyone's lives better but it's too popular so we can't do that. We have to dismantle it piece by piece instead. We don't have a plan to replace it yet just a bunch of ideas that aren't better and no one likes.
Pantone choosing a shade of white when these gorgeous colors exist was ... a choice.

Anyone can decorate a tree if they want to but I can totally understand why people would rather not.
Democratic voters are working hard to stop fascism. It would be nice if the leaders of the party joined them.
The boats the regime is claiming are going from Venezuela to the US would need to refuel over 20 times to get to Miami.
They are lying to us.
The elites in both parties are in bed with the oligarchs.
I used to do the mental gymnastics necessary to believe that God is love and yet is also fully justified in tormenting people for eternity who had never read the Bible. Indoctrination and religious trauma will do that to you.
I remember what it was like to be fully convinced that I had the one true message of Love and Hope and that if I did not go and tell them this "good" news, God was going to let people on the other side of the world who never had never heard of him just die and go to hell.
I know, some of you are going to hate me now. You're going to come after me in the comments and tell me how wrong I am. But I too was once indoctrinated into white evangelicalism.
I mean, think about the hubris and sense of superiority it takes to travel overseas and tell people you just met that their traditional spirituality is evil and they will go to hell for believing in the wrong god.
So this is fascinating. Parkrose Permaculture got a lot of hate after calling out vegan activism for being rooted in white supremacy, but then in this video she goes after Christian missionaries too. And honestly it makes a lot of sense. youtu.be/176fYBdA8VM?...
Classic narcissist. Accuse others of doing what he himself is doing, being childish in this case.

Listen, if you tell me that “taxation is theft” I’m going to need you to quit driving on highways or walking on sidewalks or attending a public school or using police or fire services or city snow removal.
I would mention libraries, but…
Trump campaigned like a populist. Which shows that a true populist movement would gain a lot of support from voters. But once in office he showed his true colors by cozying up to his billionaire buddies.
Neither party has done anything to support working Americans in decades.
I'm convinced now more than ever that the two party system in the United States is failing us. While the Republicans are clearly the party of the oligarchs, Democrats have largely ignored rural america. A lot of red States aren't actually red, they're just uncontested.
