We're just going to call it Pedophile Drive
Love this. I am trying to make my life "more inconvenient" lately.
Our republican senators are cowards. If they support a war with Iran they can vote for it. Instead they gave an addled old man that power, set a precedent for that in the future, and will still campaign saying they are against war.
I was doing admin work... but now I am enjoying the picture in your post
Hey Hendersonville NC, Let's build some active community together.
Maybe you need more music in your life to help you face the world and be proactive in change. We got you covered.
I just reached out to my LOCAL immigrant advocacy group. Learned sooo much about how our local situation is unique and how I can actually help in small ways. Encouraging everyone to do this!
I'm not media, but I use the term "ice agents" I think it's accurate, but also possess the right level of 1984 dread.
I thought there was a weird, murderous, smugness, in the way that a conservative, white, male, agent interacted with a citizen.
he's gonna spray paint that boat gold
When he says "healthcare stuff" he means figuring out how to keep many of us from having access to healthcare, right?
DeSatan tries to act strong and independent, but he's such a butt kissing sycophant.
Dear men, stop saying you don't understand women who support the felon in chief. Seriously, stop. Stop asking the victims of centuries of institutional harm to be the ones who carry the weight of fixing the problem.

when you are "At odds"about what to do about a nazi in your ranks, your problems go way beyond politics
Perhaps if you are in central Florida you need a morale boost. We will be singing joyful, hopeful, songs of social justice.
Anyone else have whiplash? Tuesday: yes, victory! Monday: why are 8 senators doing surrendering after victory?
What they spend dollars on is what they value. Ballrooms, yes; children, no. Ego building, yes; community building, no. Airplanes, yes; veterans, no. "Interesting" choice is not the phrase I would use.
Grow some extra and share. There are all kinds of ways to #resist
This is a tiny thing, a crumb of resistance, but our (Friction Farm) new album, "Stone By Stone" was #3 on the Folk DJ chart in Sept. 'Louder Than Guns' was the #6 song. Fight with all the tools you have, friends, even if that is just singing about social justice.
We need to do better. At a local dems meet-up I said I didn't show up often because I work. Response was "we have events on weekends". People work on weekends y'all. We need to do better at being inclusive.
"Uniquely" qualified? The only former marine sniper related to a gop lawmaker?
I know the world is on fire, but we have a new album out todday and we think it meets these times with realism and hope. That's a tough combo to achieve.
It also makes workers beholden to their employers, no matter how awful they may be treated.
I haven't been in a store in a long while, but Target used to have a lot of products made by women and black owned businesses. Is that still true?
Farm subsidies and corporate tax breaks go to massive factories growing food that needs to be processed (e.g. massive expanses of corn and soy) but not to smaller farms growing food we eat.
If any of you happen to be visiting Smithsonian facilities in or outside DC, please video or photograph. You may be the only way we hold onto history.
