Well, I had an interesting Sunday night, how 'bout you?

I wish Monsters came in smaller cans.

Today was a perfect day in Vermont. Sunny, 60’s, slight breeze, low dew point. I had a seltzer in the sunshine with a friend, ate a delicious sandwich from Poppy, hugged a bunch of friends out and about. I’m grateful.

Why is it always French vanilla? Why isn’t this coffee Philly vanilla? It’s always French. Vanilla isn’t even from France.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

Very rapey

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

taking black kids away from their parents and putting them on farms seems really familiar to me! what could it be?

This moment calls for a mass movement. Thousands to tens of thousands daily are realizing they were duped. Already existing allies are realizing it’s time to prioritize action over posts. Welcome potential rather than perfection. Be willing to meet people where they are.

I’m on my second Monster

Bummed they changed the White Lotus theme song!

Heading to Primavera Sound in a few months and I’m sooooooo excited! I love music festivals.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IN CASE OF ICE: CONOCE TUS DERECHOS EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:

DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR. ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge. Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door. NO ABRAS TU PUERTA. ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.

ASK THEM TO LEAVE. If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission. 2 PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN. Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.

REMAIN SILENT. You have the right to remain silent. If the agents ask you questions, tell them, "I wish to remain silent." PERMANECE EN SILENCIO. Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio. Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles: "Deseo permanecer en silencio".

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Stares in Native American.

This was always the plan of these colonizing fascists. They were dropping bombs while drawing up resort blueprints.

if you’re 25 years old with control of the entire treasury system and you don’t delete every student debt file, you are the biggest loser the world has ever seen

If a Democrat fired 100 FAA employees and put a freeze on hiring air traffic controllers 8 days before an airport plane crash, there would be a right-wing and media frenzy for weeks.

One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.

Yesterday I had lunch with a sex worker and as we were chatting about piss play a woman in her 70’s came over and told me I looked like a young Carly Simon.

I have no idea what anyone in any band looks like anymore. You could tell me, “I’m the lead singer of Cake.” and I’d be like good for you.

A country without trans people has never existed and never will.

Of COURSE it is a nazi salute. Y’all can’t be seriously falling for this again. Like when you believed the white power hand gestures were the A-okay sign lololol They’re laughing in your faces while destroying this country in plain sight.

It’s ridiculous that we have to censor certain words on Instagram (like sex or lesbian or fascist) when I’ve seen a man do a literal nazi solute no less than a hundred times this morning.

Hot optometrists are unfair. You mean you’re gonna get that close to my face, share breath, and not kiss me?! Rude.

A lot of you need to be woken up with a forehead kiss by a beautiful woman and it shows.
