I am grateful to these folks, and many more not pictured, for fighting the good fight. Working with them has restored my hope and my faith in humanity. I am so proud to stand with them.

"I do not mean that there is no deficiency of wealthy individuals in the United States; I know of no country, indeed, where the love of money has taken stronger hold on the affections of men, and where the profounder contempt is expressed for the theory of the permanent equality of property."
-Alexis de Tocqueville, "Democracy in America"

Chrissyreadit perfect quote for the insanity of enriching billionaires and destroying a portion of the country! 1d

I‘m a nonfiction geek, so these are the books that come to mind for when I need an emotional pep talk: Historians of fascism offer their guides to surviving and resisting America‘s recent turn towards authoritarianism. Because those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Thanks for the tag, @Chrissyreadit !

Next up for reading. It's over 900 pages, so it will likely take a while.

Tamra It‘s amazing to read such astute observations of America from an outsider perspective. 5d

I shed happy tears this morning. 5,000 protesters in Marquette. 7% of the county's population. Up from 3,500 at the last big protest. I have hope today.

Trashcanman I don‘t know if it‘s just me but people caring on like nothings fucking wrong in this country is fucking sickening. People going on with mundane bullshit oblivious to what is happening just demonstrates their privilege and lack of humanity. Thank you for being real. 2w
itsjustme40something Yes the gaslighting that this is normal or acceptable or anything other than horrific is way past sickening. I cant remeber where I heard it, but someone said privilege is seen in deciding if you care. And its enraging to me how many people don't 2w
