Folks — this is not a normal government shutdown.
Let me explain the stakes and how we got here.
June 14 They gathered not for kings or gold, But for a truth that's centuries old: No ruler's crown, no tyrant's sway, Can dim the light of a freer day. Across the streets, in vibrant streams, Pride unfurled its radiant beams. Rainbow banners, hearts unchained, A love so fierce it can't be tamed. History shall mark this day, Not for gilded taco's false display, But for the people, bold and free, Who marched for love and liberty.
Good morning! Some original altCDC poetry to mark the occasion.🚫👑 #NoKings

An endless field of flowers stretching off to the horizon. A nice cloud filled sky with a few trees and sage to round it off.

Needs flowers tonight

CDC staff have been forced to remove dozens of chronic health applications and to change open data sets that contain gender.
These are YOUR data and YOUR tools.
Be angry. Be LOUD.
A quote by Cole Arthur Riley. The quote reads: "If your spirituality does not demand beauty and liberation for every person and piece of the cosmos, it is not God you are seeking, but a shallow ritual of self-soothing." Below the quote, the author's name, "Cole Arthur Riley," and the book title, "BLACK LITURGIES," are printed in large letters.

Then, when private companies stopped serving people not wearing MASKS during COVID, they lost their minds. Until it affects them and THEIR rights, they don’t care.

OF THE EMPIRE We will be known as a culture that feared death and adored power, that tried to vanquish insecurity for the few and cared little for the penury of the many. We will be known as a culture that taught and rewarded the amassing of things, that spoke little if at all about the quality of life for people (other people), for dogs, for rivers. All the world, in our eyes, they will say, was a commodity. And they will say that this structure was held together politically, which it was, and they will say also that our politics was no more than an apparatus to accommodate the feelings of the heart, and that the heart, in those days, was small, and hard, and full of meanness.
