No one deserves detention.

No one deserves deportation.

No one deserves prison.

No one deserves to be separated from their loved ones.

No human is illegal. Free them all.

I read The Stranger by Albert Camus over the weekend. I fucking hate it. Why is that a classic?

Things actually do matter. Fuck this nonsense.

Photos of burning cop cars > witty protest signs

Applauding liberal protests because no one broke the law is not the brag you think it is.

I don't think protest is futile, and I applaud those that did so over the weekend, but I also think they are insufficient.

Obviously Trump did this. But perhaps the 2021-2 Democrat-controlled congress could have taken back some of its tariff-levying powers? After 2017-2020, they could have decided it wasn't wise to give up one of Congress's core Article 1 authorities to the President?

Employers forcing people into offices is one more way of capitalism telling people their lives do not belong to them.

A great prompt. I even challenge you to include some feminist philosophy

Challenge: The next time someone gives you the obligatory "How are you?" be completely honest with them. I started this yesterday and felt like it opened genuine conversations with people.

And surprise, nobody is okay.

The problem with our idea of self-care is that it adds one more thing to the already burdened realm of personal responsibility, giving an out to employers and policy makers when we should be creating systems and cultures that are just less taxing on our minds and bodies.

Terrible campaign idea that went nowhere. They're fascists, not weirdos.

Don't let an emphasis on mental health make you believe material circumstances don't need to change.

It's less stressful to watch a constitutional crisis once you realize the constitution is mostly a piece of shit anyway.

Rediscovering things I was made to believe I had to abandon to be an "adult." (Not the book, the ideas in it)

Actually, my keyboard was on fire like 6 months ago, when I submitted these stories. Unfortunately, I haven't finished a story since my dad died.
