don’t tell social media if you went to protests or not(especially if you didn’t), don’t give cops an easy way to track down protesters. punk life advice
You want to call your House rep now and tell them Trump needs to be impeached immediately for defying a Supreme Court order (re: Kilmar Abrego Garcia), which functionally voids our constitution and means no one in America has rights anymore.
I am not exaggerating.
As of now, anybody can be disappeared, no due process, no recourse. Trump is openly disregarding a Supreme Court order and says he’ll send US citizens to El Salvador.
This is not a drill.
Call your House rep and tell them they must impeach. Tell them if they cannot bring themselves to impeach, they must resign. A more open and shut case to impeach is not possible. Trump and his administration are saying openly, in public, that anybody can be kidnapped by ICE, even in error, and disappeared permanently.
Call your senators, too, and tell them to support impeachment (it goes to them once it passes a majority House vote).
“Hello, my name is _______ and I am a constituent from _______. My address is ________.
I am reaching out today to urge Representative ______ to call for the impeachment of President Trump due to his refusal to comply with the Supreme Court’s April 10th decision regarding Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was unlawfully deported and has been charged with no crime. As Justice Sotomayor stated, this inaction implies the government’s ability to ‘deport and incarcerate any person, including U.S. citizens, without legal consequence, so long as it does so before a court can intervene.’ This precedent is unconstitutional, highly illegal, and grounds for impeachment. Every individual, regardless of immigration status, must be guaranteed a right to due process.
Representative _____, I urge you to stand on the right side of history today by calling for President Trump’s impeachment. This administration can not be allowed to continue unilaterally defying the checks and balances that are intrinsic to our government.”

Lines of thought that seem Normal but are actually rooted in extreme puritanism:
-Seeing the nude human body is inherently traumatic -Sex scenes in art are pointless -Wearing kink-related clothing in public is the similar to performing a sex scene in front of unwilling participants -Depicting female characters expressing sexuality is always degrading -People’s sexual fantasies are always an endorsement of the behavior they want to see in real life -Sex work is more traumatic and coercive than other types of work
The goal is to treat sex as just another thing people do. That is a much healthier attitude than hiding it! It’s not uniquely traumatic, it’s not weird to talk about it or include it in society.
Dude, the enemy is not “the group of people who can afford a nice house and car and take vacations and eat well and have enough saved for retirement.”
The enemy is the group of people who make it IMPOSSIBLE for EVERYONE to have a nice house and car and take vacations and eat well and save enough for retirement.
In the US, “poor people” USED to be the people who had not-so-nice houses and cars, or who had to rent instead of own. And it’s not the dentist down the street who changed that; among others, it’s the ultra-rich CEOs and shareholders who refuse to pay a living wage so they can live off your labor, and the exploitative corporations that buy up as much housing as they possibly can and charge exorbitant rent so you’ll never be able to own your own home. It’s the bosses who decide that “excess” food must be destroyed if it cannot be sold at a price that enriches shareholders. And it’s the politicians who encourage and enable all of that.
Your average upper middle class family has enough money to have nice things, put their kids through school, and not have to think critically about every purchase they make.
Your average billionaire has enough money to convert it to gold and build an island in the ocean out of nothing but gold. And probably to also build a mansion on it and buy a helicopter to commute with.
Those… Aren’t the same thing.

The flowchart is really, really simple:
Do they have more than $500,000,000.00?
Yes: They are wealthy
No: They are not wealthy.
This is the reality for the foreseeable future. I know it’s weird to re-calibrate that way. But this is really it.
It’s not a fever to break. Hate to tell you, but the Nazis are surging again in Germany, too.
Bad ideas never go away. You can only cut them off as soon as you see them.
This isn’t an error. It’s what they want.
I also hate to break it to you, but the rush on this particular iteration started with Gamergate after building the groundwork since 1980.
Don’t get me wrong, the people with the greatest responsibility for what’s happening at this moment are Joseph R. Biden and Merrick Garland, both of whom had the power and the duty to prevent him being a candidate in 2024, which they abjectly, utterly, and unforgivably failed to do.
