    No, it isn’t. And so we’re not gonna give up. We’ll take breaks, take care of ourselves, and our dear ones. And we’ll keep working for the solutions we know are needed. When you find yourself in hell, don’t stop there.

        I wish you the best, you’re very lucky to have a way out! I’m just a worthless uneducated factory schmuck so I’m stuck here. :/

    So many innocent people. Is it normal to preemptively cry for those who haven’t event been captured yet?

    They may or may not know it… They’ll end up in kangaroo court, and sent to a camp and we won’t find out what happens after that.

      A good chunk of those innocent people either voted for Trump or didn’t vote for anyone because ‘both candidates are equally bad’ or something.

      And the ones who voted for Trump are going to scream ‘but I’m one of the good ones!’ when they’re getting deported or don’t receive healthcare.

        Remember those people who caught covid and were put on ventilators while denying that they had covid? When bad things happen to Trump supporters they’ll just deny it or blame it on someone else.

      I’ve learned that queer history is read in the scorch marks in history books. I know I’ll strive to keep my name unburnt

    It would be more accurate if the house were still on fire as he looked despondent, as the fire is being kept going by federal agents and he’s powerless to stop it.

    This is the one that finally got me. Sitting in my car trying to get it together before heading into work.

      My poor wife had the same experience this morning. I got up with her, hugged her, we talked for a few after seeing the news. 12 hour shift surrounded by trumpers and no outlet to vent.

    …oh god no - the fire putting us all out of our misery is my last hope at this point. This is one of the worst messages I’ve ever seen.
