So, trying out a new pet-name, I decided to call my wife “Vanilla Bean”– just giving it a go because vanilla is my favorite flavor and beans are cute and she’s my favorite and also cute.
Now, apparently “Vanilla” is plain and boring and baby did not appreciate being called plain and boring, and so here is a list of the pet names she’s given me in last few minutes:
i feel kinda fucked up that im living in a country with a nazi regime and not being able to do anything about it and nothing is working. we need to take to the streets in droves and riot. gather thousands of people. throw rocks at the white house. sprinkle sugar on the campgrounds where the tents are gonna be built (2 lbs of sugar can ruin up to one ton of unset concrete). or throw hydrogen peroxide filled water balloons at the exposed steel to corrode it faster because theyre literally building concentration camps in 106°F texas heat for children who cannot regulate their body temperature like adults
nobody in power is listening so we have to do it ourselves
just. fight back. please…dont just stand by. do whatever you can, spreading info is something everyone can do
The right side of history has never been the popular side. Don’t fail to act for fear of looking bad. WE SHOULD LOOK BAD IN THE EYES OF OUR ENEMIES! Fight, struggle with everything you have. If you don’t then who will? If today will you tomorrow?
Act, even if you think it’s futile, act. Justice is born through action. Change is born through conflict. Freedom is born through defiance.
One of the more fascinating and horrible details in Reuters’ thoroughly fascinating and horrible long-form report
on Trump’s cruel border policies is this nugget: ICE hacked the
risk-assessment tool it used to decide whom to imprison so that it
recommended that everyone should be detained.
This gave ICE a kind of empirical facewash for its racist and inhumane
policies: they could claim that the computer forced them to imprison
people by identifying them as high-risk. The policy let ICE triple its
detention rate, imprisoning 43,000 people.
