Mr Big Tough Guys - war crimes, violent aggression, killed your sight.
To the killers, don't worry. We're abolishing the death penalty but coming with consequences.
Or maybe we won't. As far as society has come on rights, you already know what happens, history repeats itself.
We could check the archive, but I'm pretty sure this word combination/sequencing has never happened before in recorded history

To the moon. That's a fantastic idea.

Yo we need this energy again and forever
California is expanding California Highway Patrol teams in key regions to bring down crime.
We've seen what success looks like when investing in strategic community partnerships, and with this next phase, we're continuing the work to improve public safety throughout the state.
Just watched ICE pull a guy out a car at 16th and Park.
“Do you guys feel bad about what you’re doing? Don’t you f*cking hate yourselves?”

Do we think the American left has been ineffectual as a result of our respect for individual rights and identities? Where the right seems to unite under schemes of control (maybe excluding this coercive authoritarian regime), the left hasn't codified individual rights, and that's where the work is.
Calling super friends! Early stage formulating a non-profit - democratic integrity, community org, constitutional renewal, and social safety net space. Hacktivists, coders, creators, non-profit work (donor solicitation esp), this means you. For fixing big issues in a non-partisan way. Repost pls!
Solidarity 💛💛💛
What if all these pundits are - while saying what we feel - only draining heat from the fire? Colbert - “Go fuck yourself,” South Park - small cock. And we craft sharp witticisms against the build-up. Are these forms of release drawing pressure away from where it belongs? We need. To. Organize.
Signal & Frame - On Conditioning and the Cost of Externalizing Our Divinity. We deify our elected officials. We give them too much. A photo of the cover from "Be Safe in a Dangerous World" by Vernon Howard, depicting a red and white striped traditional lighthouse and its bright white light beam in front of a cloudy sky tones of blue, grey, gold, and rose.
This one really almost killed my brain, so you know it’s good!

But we do. A lesson for all of us and future generations 💛
We should temporarily secede.
Oh man. Healthy chuckle
If you feel like the system’s broken beyond repair - you’re not wrong.
But we’re not here just to rage. We’re here to remember what we’re for.
This piece is part fire alarm, part love letter to what could be.

Signal & Frame | The Irresistible Vision We get caught up in what we're fighting against. But what do we actually want to manifest? And what happens when we call out an end to false equivalence once and for all? This photo is of a dime-sized heart shaped rock in a toddler's open, upturned hand.
We’ve been trained to fight for what we believe in - but what if that framing is part of the problem?
What about loving for what we believe in? Building for what we believe in?
What if the collapse is already here - and this shift is the way out?

They can call it the neo-Nazi party and all go straight to hell :)
Hey Mr. Newsom (@governor.ca.gov),
What about a statewide plan to stop withholding and sending Federal taxes? Where's the vote of no confidence against this farcical strike at the heart of real, on the ground, American values??
