If humanity survives capitalism and the US empire, the US will be looked back on in the same ways Nazi Germany is now. People have a way of minimizing or turning a blind eye to the horrors that exist in the moment, but *people's history* doesn't lie.
This letter was left by neighbors so brave they refused to sign their names. This happened in Papillion, Nebraska, because a couple had the "audacity" to fly a Pride flag.

You can’t go to work, to the MALL, to the grocery store, to your church, to the movies or the bank.
You can’t attend a concert, go to a dance class or go to see your doctor. You can’t ring a doorbell, use a leaf blower, hop in a car, pull down a driveway, bounce a ball, or ask the neighbor to keep it down.
You can’t check out a farmer’s market or mail something at the post office or go to a parade, and you certainly can’t send your kids to school without worrying that someone will get shot.
That someone you LOVE will get shot.
Or that YOU will get shot.
This is where we are now.
This is not normal.
And this is not fucking ok.
It’s NOT fucking ok.
On May 24, 2022 in Uvalde Texas, an 18 year old walked into Robb Elementary School and shot and killed 19 children and 2 adults.
Two days ago in Houston Texas, a man paused his dinner date to shoot and kill a fake parking attendant.
Last night in Cleveland Texas, 5 members of a family (including an 8 year old child) were shot and killed by their neighbor after they asked him to stop firing his gun on his front lawn so their baby could sleep.
So when Republican lawmakers in a state where it’s easier to get AR-15s than books about Black history say their abortion ban is about being “pro-life”…
They’re full of shit.
america: kids can work in factories now
america: if an active shooter comes into their class, kids should just hide in a big metal box
america: lmao why would preschool be free
america: why aren’t people having KIDS ANYMORE
Payton Washington is in the ICU after she was shot for getting in the wrong car in Texas
Kaylin Gillis was shot to death for driving into the wrong driveway in New York
Ralph Yarl was shot in the head for ringing the doorbell at the wrong house in Missouri
It’s the guns
You are free to be you, exactly as you are.
Not how a random judge wants you to be. Not how a random lawmaker wants you to be. Your identity and existence is not up to the state. The state can never know you, love you, or control you. ❤️🏳️⚧️ Stay strong — it keeps me strong!!
Pursuit of Happiness is certified DIAMOND!! 🥹🙏🏾 THANK U to everyone who connected w this song and played it over and over all these years. I love you all!! 😘🥰💖✌🏾
Thanks for the "thoughts and prayers" but that does nothing to offset the damage that you directly did to incite these kinds of attacks on the LGBTQ+ community. You spreading tropes and insults contributed to the hatred for us. There's blood on your hands.
Just resign.

The public mourning during 9/11 is even more curious after the last few years where thousands of people died each day and instead of that being a great tragedy as well, there were demands to go back to work and to learn to live with that level of death.
