When bruised hand finally goes to hell, I'm gonna be hollering the way Freddy Mercury was at the end of Another One Bites the dust.
Yep, this is why they still refer to 2020 as the “Woke Times” and lend credence to the idea that this is all a result of a “backlash” rather than a pretty clear moment of attempted consolidation for a decades-long movement.
Another populace that understands fascism and authoritarians.
A protester outside an ICE detention facility marches through clouds of irritant gas carrying American flags. A sign lying on the pavement by his feet reads “EVERY ICE AGENT WILL BE HELD TO ACCOUNT.”
I hope some newspapers use a crop where you can easily read the sign.

Also, for the "people" who don't like green vegetables, go back to your own planet.
All of em. However you gotta send it, I got it.

Stephen Miller says we are evil, wicked, envious, nothing. Says they are good, pure, righteous. He tells them we build nothing, are nothing. He dehumanizes us so it’s easier to hurt us. Maybe kill us. All because we are different. He isn’t warning of war, he’s declaring it and it's chilling.
Title: Teacher Strikes and the Demobilization of Republican Voters Melissa Arnold Lyon University at Albany, SUNY Leslie K. Finger University of North Texas Hyesang Noh University at Albany, SUNY September 2025
AbstractProtests can mobilize both supporters and opponents. Extant research suggests that disruptiveprotests are particularly likely to mobilize opponents, yet strikes—one of the most disruptiveforms of protest—have been largely absent from this literature. We use an original dataset of 716teacher strikes from 2007-2020 to examine the causal effects of teacher strikes on politicalparticipation. Contrary to existing theories of protest mobilization, we find that teacher strikesdecrease voter turnout, with a substantially larger effect among Republicans than Democrats.Strikes decrease Republican turnout by 3 percentage points, on average, while they reduceDemocratic turnout by 1 percentage point. We further show how the effect varies depending onthe parental status and across different types of elections. Additionally, we find that theproximity and duration of strikes also matter, with closer or longer strikes having a moresignificant demobilizing effect. These effects are driven by decreased support for teacherdemands and reduced political efficacy. Our findings reveal that different forms of protest actionmay produce distinct patterns of political behavior, suggesting the need to expand theories ofprotest beyond their present focus on inspiring third party mobilization.

Figure 2. Effects of Strikes by Subgroup. Two side-by-side dot-and-whisker plots titled “Effect of Strikes by Subgroup.” Panel A shows voter turnout effects by partisanship. Teacher strikes are associated with lower turnout across groups: about −3 percentage points for Republicans, −1 point for Democrats, and −2 points for Independents, with 90% confidence intervals that do not cross zero. Panel B further splits by parental status. Republican parents show the largest negative turnout effect, Democratic parents a smaller negative effect, Republican non-parents a modest decline, and Democratic non-parents nearly no effect. Horizontal axis shows the effect of strikes from −0.06 to +0.02. Confidence intervals calculated at the 90% level.

I want to be a better person but this is me so often when there’s mess.
This is wild cause my aunt was just joking yesterday about my grandma sending us texts about earthquakes in Russia thinking that they were going to affect me in Washington and her in Hawaii
