No phones on the table. No sense that the moment might be captured, replayed, judged later. You could drift. Say the wrong thing. Laugh too loud. Sit there doing nothing.
Now everyone’s slightly braced. Slightly performing. Even when we’re relaxed, we’re not really loose. There’s always a small part of us watching ourselves.
I recently lost my dad to cancer. Two months before he died, my dad was in the hospital and I tried to pin his oncologist down bc he was giving us conflicting info and dismissing our very real concerns. The oncologist recused himself from my dad’s care right then and there.
For me, I will remember him as the Pope who called the Holy Family Church in Gaza every day as the city, and even the church itself, was bombed by Israel.
Most people don’t understand how *new* most cancer treatments are. The treatment that cured my lymphoma was developed when I was a teenager. The treatments that will cure our children’s cancers are being put on hold right now.
I think if we are gonna let people homeschool their kids, there should be a person who comes out and assesses the parents to make sure they aren't insane or incredibly stupid.
@moebio Everyone is saying b, but b is the Regina George of the group. It’s the reference point for other differences. If this was a hs girl gang, everyone would hate c bc she’s a different shape. Therefore, c. C is the answer
I want everyone to imagine just for a minute that Kamala Harris won and brought the notorious George Soros on screen in the Oval Office. The heads of the entirety of the Republican Party would explode simultaneously. We’d have the first nuclear bomb drop. Why is this different
Right so, “resist” means *don’t* follow fascist orders.
Don’t take the art off the walls.
Don’t delete the website.
Don’t open the dams.
Play dumb. Ask for clarity, repeatedly. Lose the email. Misplace the keys. Stall. Ignore. Forget. Crawl.
You are the line, you hold it.
@AngelaLMorabito@MikeEmanuelFox You people make me physically ill. Wretched, self-serving, and abysmally short sighted. This will abandon millions of children and their families who cannot afford private education and will suffer the consequences of underfunded public school.
It’s the year 2025 and the family of a female helicopter pilot is afraid to share their deceased hero daughter’s name with the public for fear that our current “commander in chief” will target her as the “one to blame” for the crash.
Because she is a woman.
What the actual fuck.
It’s critical that working people who are harmed by Trump are met by a movement that is serious about fighting for a better future and not these anti-social democrat freaks who want to see people be punished and suffer.
“Making me richer than God just might require that you entirely give up any hope for privacy, fair wages, and dignity.” These guys are now empowered to say what they think. Listen to them; it’s not a hypothetical that he is laying out.
You cannot simultaneously think the US is under a fascist administration and also refuse to do anything but blame whatever demographics you consider responsible for this outcome. Disunity only fragments our collective power. Isolating yourself thru smugness will not protect you.
