The American I thought I grew up in never existed...

I fear not the man who has
practiced 10,000 kicks once
but I fear the man who has
practiced one kick 10,000 times.

They want you off balance, lost and confused, in a daze. We are in an abusive relationship with our governments.
Stay focused. No wars but Class War.

Feeling like you're losing your mind?
Can't drink from the firehose of news anymore?
Questioning your own sanity and perception?
Keep seeing posts that make you ask "That can't be real?"
Gratz, you've notice the symptoms of State sponsored gaslighting.

Let yourself be loved. Happy Pride Month!

I love these silicon valley bros that think ChatGPT has achieved some kind of sentience and therefore might have rights.

Like dudes, you don't even think poor people deserve rights, let's try to achieve that before giving person-hood to the autocomplete algorithm.

and is outraged to discover it is not.
And the child is right."

Second panel: Hapless Soul: ...What? Shoulder Demon: Yeah. Third panel: Shoulder Demon: So I guess I'm supposed to tempt you to... care about others? Fourth panel: Hapless Soul: I'm confused.

I hope you get to reply to this post in the future about how wrong I was.

Toxic positivity, be damned, Herman Hesse reminds us that true optimism is not the denial of suffering. It is the will to perceive beauty amidst the suffering, and to conceive compassion despite suffering: “because the world is so full of death and horror I try again and again to console my heart and pick the flowers that grow in the midst of hell“

I won't abandon my comrades to the whims of Empire. I will stand and face the troubles of our time with head high and eyes bright. I won't flee to be 'safer', the Empire is everywhere. I live in its heart, and it is here that I may find the best chances to fight back.

Let kids be kids

And watch for was does make it thru. Like gender affirming medical care being banned for all trans youth nation wide, which is being sued but still went into effect... for now?

They can write up all the silly paperwork they want, but they are still up against *inertia*. This is the small hope I'm clinging to. Give whatever nasty thing a day or 3 to get sorted out, sued, rescinded, etc.

This is going to be the pattern for the coming weeks. They are testing limits with an outright goal of sowing as much chaos into the systems as they can get away with, even if they don't accomplish more macro goals like ending all welfare.

Please, please, please, everyone, do not panic. 'They' are going to keep trying horrible things, but they are also full of... themselves, and keep screwing up. Hopefully you've seen the news by now that the 'order' that could have impacted SNAP benefits was rescinded. 🧵

Courage is not a lack of fear...
It is being afraid, and doing what must be done anyway.
