So a video went viral this week of a Neo Nazi at a five guys in Vermont who came in and harassed and attacked a Hispanic worker. He called him “b*aner” (a slur against Hispanic and Latino people) 10+ times, and on top of this, did the sig heil (nazi salute) multiple times. The Hispanic man who was being victimized, a single father, posted the video to social media, where he was promptly fired from five guys for quote “instigating and attacking the beliefs of a customer”. Yes, you heard this correctly, he was FIRED FOR RESISTING A RACIST ATTACK FROM A NAZI. Make no mistake, this will become more and more common as hate crime protection laws are repelled by the trump admin, and queer, Latino, black, female, ect employees will be forced to bare attacks agaisnt them and their humanity by racists and nazis because if they don’t, they can be fired for retaliating. This is trumps America, this is fascism. I’m sorry for the political posts today, but this is important for queer, POC, and other minorities like me to know as we are reaching the ages in which we are going to have to start entering the workforce sooner or later. We will not be allowed to defend ourselves anymore, because the racist and homophobic nazis are now in control of our rights and voices. They have won. We have lost. But don’t stand down, boycott five guys, boycott ANY corpo shitstain that runs with fascism and hatred to protect profit margins. EQUAL RIGHTS EQUAL FIGHTS, PUNCH A NAZI TODAY!

wake up!
you were given the job with the expectation of performance
not of second guessing
not of knowing better a servant of the people our long arm within the system of law improving our reach, upholding our constitution we gave you no power of attorney we gave you our trust that you would honor and uphold our will this was not about you or your story, your glory, or prowess it was about your promise to serve at the bend of your constituents within the systems of governance as laid out by we the people not the highest bidder for our benefit and protection not egotistic insurrection centered around this cult of personality of obstruction and douchebaggery wake up! you don't have to be woke, but you do have to wake the fuck up to the world and the horrors we enact on each other through our apathetic disengagement or worse, our antipathetic participation wake up! heads out of the sand, and freed from the starfish's hold breathe free of that foul perversion of the norms of the standards and practices the beast that would have you stay breathing in his noxious cloud of disinformation and disdain wake up! we can do better, we can be better but we have to try it does take effort because they've made the other way the easier path so for progress, for change that is worthy of belief, that takes effort staying asleep through the daze and haze of this corruption of ideals and principles is easy to let go and live in a dream is effortless you have to want to- wake up! (2/13/24)

me trying to be optimistic and encouraging: you think WE have problems let's talk about the time Athens fucked up so badly they panicked and dismantled their own democracy and realized five minutes later it had been a horrible mistake and dismantled the new system in order to slink back to their democracy
(I actually do find ancient history very soothing, but I do understand that sometimes the connections aren't obvious or. you know. soothing. also I cannot emphasize this enough, classical Athens had so many other problems.)
#even when they lost the war and sparta imposed an oligarchy it went so badly that sparta went#'okay you know what. do whatever you want. we're out. have your democracy back. kill the tyrants. or not. vote on it. you guys are nuts.'#stop talking about the fall of rome (the thing I work on professionally) because every time someone brings it up they bring it up wrongly#(I have very strong feelings about the ~fall of rome. my opinions are controversial)#your girl

For American followers:
Politics do not belong in all spaces and I usually prefer to keep art and politics separate, however I must mention this here:
If you are a follower/admirer of my work, my posts, my art - and you have voted Republican or Green or anything OTHER than Democratic, in any way, shape, or form in this 2024 United States election, then you need to know that you are part of the issue, the problem, and the horrific state of this country.
I do not like you. The work I make is not for you.
And it never will be. Suck my dick and choke.
- Ripley

Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow Americans. Those who aren’t American, happy Thursday to you. May you and yours come together and celebrate the existence of family. Your family. Our family as a nation.
In the eyes of history it wasn’t that long ago when European settlers were struggling to survive on this land far from their home. With help from the natives and determination we rose to the dominant power on earth. May we use these forces for good and reject that which would lead us to less noble causes. ☮️💟🇺🇸

Undecided U.S. Citizens Please!
Immigrants are what make up this country. America is and always has been a melting pot of people from all of the world. That's the entire message that the United States has always made. This country is meant to be a safe place for every human being on earth, and under Trump's control, it will not be. My reach is small but I urge you. Please care for your fellow friends, coworkers, and neighbors and vote Kamala Harris.

Ever notice how Defaults put the gay relationships in children's cartoons at the end of the series itself, then turn and expect a medal from us?
Lol what for? Cowardice? 🤣🤣
Looking at you, Adventure Time, Gravity Falls, Legend of Korra, and Arthur 👀👀

Boycott!
Remember, Democrats covered their ears when Israel's victims were mentioned, and Harris silenced activists by using the Trump scare as if he were a boogymen
You won't swipe it to the left, but it has already swiped you to the right

Saw a debate over in Twitter on Uncle Grandpa vs Bill Chiper, lots of people say Uncle Grandpa would win, but tbh I think it would be a stalemate. But who cares? Imma ask y'all.

By Heart We'll Save Our Home Again
(Verse 1)
When there's nothing left but the fire in my chest and the air that fills my lungs
I'll hold my tears and trade my years for a glimpse of freedom's song
On the other side of tyranny, there's a land we long to see
The strife we share will take us there to peace and liberty
(Chorus)
Oh by heart, we'll save our home again, by heart, we'll save our home
By love or fight, we'll make it right
By heart, we'll save our home
(Verse 2)
In our own towns, we're strangers now, our voices drowned and cursed
The headlines scream of another scheme, not the last and not the worst
Oh my ancestors, they look down on me, I wonder what they feel
To see their noble dreams trampled down beneath a tyrant's heel
(Chorus)
Oh by heart, we'll save our home again, by heart, we'll save our home
By love or fight, we'll make it right
By heart, we'll save our home
(Verse 3)
The road is dark, the way is lost, my eyes they strain to see
I struggle forth to find a friend to light the way for me
Oh comrades, can you hear my voice or am I all alone
If there's no fire to guide my way, then I will start my own
(Chorus)
Oh by heart, we'll save our home again, by heart, we'll save our home
By love or fight, we'll make it right
By heart, we'll save our home
(Closing)
Oh by heart, we'll save our home again, by heart, we'll save our home
By love or fight, we'll make it right
By heart, we'll save our home

So is this bullshit even legal or able to happen if trump wins!? Aka him bragging about doing away with voting all together if he gets in
It won’t happen unless he does a more effective coup. I think he may just be saying “I only get four more years anyway just vote for me and don’t worry about voting after that when it’s not me I don’t care”.
The thing about trump is he just. Says things. That make no sense. He’s speaking out his ass. I wouldn't worry about it too much beyond voting against him this election. Now that he’s not against Biden I feel he may be spiraling a bit. With Biden we would have seen a landslide in his favor, with an annoying neo-liberal on the other hand, well. The results are likely to mirror the 2020 election. Trump is looking down the barrel at a serious loss, so he’s just appealing to whatever extremists he can at this point. The Republican Party by and large is not a fan of trump. It’s actually a massive division in the party at present with a very sizable fraction of republicans leaning towards not voting or voting third party/democrat. Just like there were a lot of democrat voters biting the bullet and willing to vote Biden just to avoid trump, so too were there plenty of republican voters only willing to vote trump to avoid Biden. With the threat of a second Biden term gone, you will see a weaker turnout, even if just marginally.
Trump is also rapidly showing his age, it was just less noticeable when he was against Biden who was worse. Everyone but his cultists see it. Republican voters also despise Vance, trump’s selected VP, because Vance says the quiet part a bit TOO loud, even when compared to trump. Republicans overall tend to agree with the things Vance has said about women, immigrants, etc., but it’s preferred to keep the mask on (ironic choice of words is unintentional). If trump wanted to win this, choosing a more moderate Republican as VP is a better look because it would have garnered support from people who hate trump but favor the next in line. As is, he picked someone so far right it makes trump look moderate in comparison which is a worse move by a long shot. People on the fence about voting trump are not going to be won over by someone like Vance. People who are die hard trump fans probably recall Vance speaking unfavorably about trump in the past.
Overall, the future is very uncertain for trump. There’s a good chance in another four years he’s going to be too old to run at all. As a result, he’s making even weirder promises he knows he can’t and won’t keep. His strategy has gone into just banking on the votes of the far right and hoping for a silent majority.
Every word the man says is a lie. If you are concerned by them, vote. I don’t even care if you vote for Harris or whomever the presidential nominee for the democrats is going to be, vote democrat on every other seat on the ballot. Ensure that, even if the electoral college selects trump, his nonsensical and dangerous actions will be blocked. That is the most important thing you can do this election.
But no, to answer your question, he cannot just remove the already flimsy democracy we already have. The ones who could would be the Supreme Court. They are already playing heavily in favor of trump, if you want to uno-reverse card them on all the actions they are taking to ensure a dictatorship can occur, I would recommend voting a democrat for your presidential pick.
#This country already isn’t a democracy really#it’s unsettling how blatant they’re being about this in recent years though#anyway I hope Clarence Thomas falls down a long flight of stairs#I also hope I live to see the abolition of the supreme court

so anyway france news nobody cares about
SO remember in summer when our president suddenly decided ''ehhh fuck our current government line-up let's start over let's have a vote" for no reason and leftist parties united to have better odds of beating the right and they won so the president was supposed to pick a prime minister from the left
and then he didn't and he picked Some Rightie that nobody had heard about in decades Anyway yeah that new government might get voted out again With potentially our president having to resign too
#tldr president didn't give a fuck about democracy did things his own way despite the people's choice and it's backfiring severely#so now we might end up without a government Again even tho our current one is like. 4 months old.#his whole excuse for picking a rightie as PM was “if i pick a leftie the other parties will never agree with him & nothing will get done :(”#and Lo And Behold nothing's getting done anyway in fact the entire government is on hold and Might collapse at any moment#so shit's going great hey#all because like. new PM's proposal for the country's budgeting was Shit Everyone Hated like#the right hated it for being too harsh on rich people and companies the left hated it for Not being harsh enough on rich people & companies#somehow both sides came to the agreement ''fuck the PM and his stupid budget'' but he was like. you activated my trap card#so in france there's this thing governments can do called 49.3 where. whatever they want to sign into law Will be signed into law#even if nobody agrees with it like usually all the government members are supposed to have a vote for these things#but with 49.3 it's like. nah no vote Fuck all of y'all i'm the PM i do what i want#so PM did that and then both the left and right went. Fine! we're voting to kick you out lmao#and the president might get caught in his fall for nominating him in the first place when he wasn't supposed to
