That old saw about how "good times make weak men" is true in the sense that stable times with material abundance create reactionaries who want to destroy the systems that protect them because they're too sheltered and stupid to understand that things can get meaningfully worse.

I don't think a lot of people appreciate how much of their overall lifestyle and relative certainty is backstopped by a steady, boring stability of systems they don't understand or even realize exist.

True decadence looks like people who are three generations removed from the cultural memory of polio refusing to vaccinate their children against deadly communicable diseases because they don't like needles and don't think there will be any consequences, not queer

So much of our present crisis is coddled, ignorant, and short sighted people tearing down the institutions that protect them because they donโ€™t understand that bad things can happen.

Broken Truth- live in San Antonio
YouTube video by Tim Grimm Broken Truth- live in San Antonio

Watch Tim Grimm sing this incredible protest anthem to a packed bar in Texas! This could be the anthem of the resistance, one that speaks to people outside of traditionally liberal spaces.

Help me make it go viral??

๐Ÿฝ๏ธ. First try brining meat. Used basil, rosemary, time and sage from last summerโ€™s garden to make the herb paste. Turned out to be a ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿฝ meal! (My familyโ€™s food rating system).

Yes and thanks for that positive fact!
I appreciate everyone for whatever they are doing. It will take all of everyone ideas and efforts.

I appreciate your reply and donโ€™t disagree with you. Perhaps too that would be playing into their goal of starting a civil war and an excuse to not have elections this fall.

Someone please explain to me why, if ICE is breaking laws by capturing and assaulting people, the MPD and/ or the MN national guard canโ€™t be called upon to try to stop them??

To date, this document has scared me the most. Chilling that we have arrived at a place in this country they wrote about close to a century ago.

Saw the conversation last night. Your insights are so real yet so profound, truly eye opening, inspirational and so very valuable. Thankyou so much for pairing up with Rachel, two powerful voices in these scary times ๐Ÿ™

I am a nurse but one doesnโ€™t need to be to ask the question why they are using hand as the IV site when lower arm or antecubital sites would be hidden from view? Also, typically, IV sites are rotated from site to site with each new infusion. So is it really IV infusions causing that bruising?

Reading it now, an absolute eye opener! Seems to tie the random happenings together when viewed through the lens you are writing about.

Hi God.
I am taking every bit of vacation time I have at work to go work on a log house I bought just over the border into Canada. Just knowing I have a way out/plan B, keeps me centered and relatively sane.
Also God, thanks for everything you do. You help many of us feel sane too ๐Ÿค—

Just a usual random night with friends. They calm my nerves as I watch the richest country in the world treat itsโ€™ citizens like animals.

As I watch the carnage that is the news these days and my anxiety escalates, it is my animals that ground me. Had to turn off the volume to hear her snore so I could exhale.
WTF is going on in this country?!

Jacob Soboroff should have a large role in the upcoming MS NOW. Filling in for Lawrence tonight was a delight to watch.

Also, might that then mean that the military will be the only remaining stalwart to save the country from an authoritarian christian nationalist take over?

Appreciate the info and relieved for the clarification the military is not a directly named part of that.

Isnt the military one element of the Seven Mountains Mandate? Isnโ€™t Hegseth a white. Christian nationalist who actually believes this mandate?
Is it possible this gathering is linked to that end?
