Rolling over for bullies, solid plan

Look at this amazing sign. #NoKings #butterfly

Israeli refusenik and former prisoner Itamar Greenberg regarding the war with Iran:

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

Birds of a feather?

The smuggled guns pouring across the border, absolutely. Punishing legal gun owners to appear tough on crime, no thanks.

Would be great if they could pivot. After the ice storm I'm certainly considering a home battery bank. I'd be more interested in LFP than NMC however.

Blackwork guillotine with title “The Tall French Goodbye.”

I recently completed a needlework tall French goodbye. We just need to keep putting that energy into the world.

Just an image of text: One of the biggest misconceptions about fascism is the belief that it can't be fascism as long as daily life continues. As if fascism would come with the skies opening and the apocalypse descending. But that's not how it works. Life stays "normal”—but that normal changes. Normal becomes harder, more ruthless. Violence becomes normal. State repression becomes normal. Angry mobs become normal (and you just hope they won't come for you). Suspicion becomes normal. Dehumanization, brutality, and the loss of solidarity all become normal.
