If you need me, I’ll be in my anti-fascist documentary bunker, learning how to fight fascism with popcorn and rage.
Here’s a strategic watchlist - share it before they start scrubbing them from the platforms. 🙄

Joined my local Dems officially 😌
I haven’t been posting because I only had large things to say … now I don’t have much to say at all … I feel like we’re fighting so hard against something we can’t win. Part of me hopes it just takes more time than I’m used to, but I hope it will work. 🫥
I haven’t been posting here because everything I have to say is long winded. I can’t even believe what’s happening right now.
probably the most mischievous grin ever
Everyone has the right to plead the fifth. But the Judiciary Committee ought to care why Trump’s nominee for FBI Director felt the need to do so.
I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons
😨
what could we do that would be akin to the beanie babies in happy meals, but not with that company? that seemed to be quite a profit at the time! 😆
My brain is so fried from reading all the headlines that when I saw WH I thought it was waffle House and it took me a very long time to realize this was not some waffle House joke 😭 this is exhausting!
I wake up everyday like “oh, that was real…”
I literally just watched Trump‘s press secretary on live television, intentionally repeatedly calling trans women men, and I’m sure it’s just to invoke a reaction and I really hope that none of us are giving them that reaction because at this point it’s just entertaining them in some sick way.
Sorry I can’t make it tonight, I have a zoom with my Chinese Tik tok spy to strategize on how they can steal my data back from Felon and his prepubescent goons.
If you're protesting tomorrow:
"I invoke my rights to silence and counsel and will not answer questions without my attorney present."
MEMORIZE THAT, because aside from asking if you're free to leave (or providing ID if you're in a stop and ID state), that's the ONLY thing you ever say to cops.
This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.
I know. I was there in those camps.
I completely understand this! I told myself I wasn’t gonna let it consume me, but every day I wake up to more headlines and events that I can’t believe are happening around me. 🥲 I know that it’s healthy for us to focus on something else a bit - I just don’t know how.
