I really don’t want to be catastrophizing but I do feel like history is rhyming. migrants at the boarder are already being treated horribly - Biden asking trump for help is a political play and trump will decline, but it speaks to how similar their approach to the boarder will be. Texas AG asked for the names and health records of people being represented by PFLAG, abortion rights are gone federally and embryos are recognized as “people” . Idaho is already overrun with nazi homesteaders. The war machine doesn’t stop and Biden lied about a ceasefire in Palestine.

#I genuinely don’t know how we can tackle all of these problems without revolution.#but people are so beaten down and there is no social net in place for that to happen #civil rights and the anti war movement had labor organizations with high membership numbers #the black panther party was vital for so much too. but what do we have now?#not to mention phone companies quite literally created an addicting algorithm to keep us using their products.#i don’t want to say I think we are positioned worse than we were before. but jt does feel that way in terms of community and solidarity #we need everyone fighting. but too many are complacent in just saying ‘vote blue’.#that doesn’t mean we should give up…. but I just have no answer to how bad things are without a complete overhaul on all of this.#I know I’ll be safe (for now) in Minnesota. but my heart breaks for everyone else in the county and in Gaza.#gwon
