We often justify the worst behavior by calling people crazy, but I’ve found that the people who’ve done me wrong were charming people in suits and sound mental faculties who just make abusive decisions. And the crazy people were my friends

It’s the same tactic every day with these capitalists.
Destabilize. Extract. Exploit.
After taking a break from writing about Trumpism and the evils of surveillance capitalism for a week I feel like I’m just drawing a target on my back for a powerful state that could easily dismiss my existence to CECOT with no obstacle. It makes me want to delete the blog. Or at least repurpose it toward something less hostile. I know it’s important work that should be done by someone. But maybe this is a conversation between the dominant class at this point.
Lmao
I wish every time an ad appeared on my phone AIPAC lost a politician. Yin yang 🤷♂️
I called Peter Thiel being in on the post democracy gutting coup plan several blog articles ago. I hate being right sometimes

Conservatives have asked me why I would defend trans folks so much if I’m not one. Because I’m indigenous, and I know when racist men take power they’re aligning against both of us. Now my people are targeted by ICE and my white friends say I’m overreacting. My trans friends aren’t so naive https://www.wired.com/story/trans-musicians-are-canceling-us-tour-dates-due-to-trumps-gender-id-rules/?utm_brand=wired&utm_social-type=owned&utm_content=buffer3d21d&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer
As a Latino, keeping up with political news for blogging has crushed my mental health. I had to take a week off from writing because the existential dread stopped me from concentrating. Instead I was researching what countries might be more peaceful for me. I’m a citizen but that hasn’t stopped ICE before. And I don’t want to wait to see how bad it will get.
I feel so much better after deactivating my Facebook account. Fuck surveillance capitalism
Christian Nationalism is both unChristian and unAmerican. And more Christians should rebuke it the way Jesus rebuked religious nationalist Pharisees and Sadducees who crucified him for threatening their status quo #religion #faith #philosophy #christianity #america #nationalism #jesus
