“Evil I think is the absence of empathy”

Also it might move around or fall out /s

Agreed. The right is successful partly because they’re at least saying there’s a chance.

Reality is that we’re gonna have a bad time, but the length, severity, and scope are within our collective control. Resist, organize, talk to the people in your life meeting them where they are.

There was no hope or escape from the czar in 1916, and yet a year later there was. Even in central Europe in the 1930s-40s there was hope and it blossomed in the form of resistance and rebellion.

Personally I would much prefer a universal “citizen/permanent resident ID” that’s free, easily obtained, and can serve as a motor vehicle license and short form passport, but we aren’t there, that ain’t happening, and I don’t trust the current administration to do it without forcing minority status on it and forcing minorities to carry it everywhere

Must be why most ceos don’t do stuff like that

Money is speech words aren’t.

On one hand yes, but on the other hand, it means that the trans Americans really don’t deserve what we’ll get.

I hope that stays there. I don’t want him to want to persecute me

Might be him at this rate

May a rotting chimp he eats give him an ironic fate

The 96% actually looks reasonable

Oh this is going to go full reichstag

“The constitutional amendment only applies to Harry Truman”
