Every day brings more devastation. But daily forms of rebellion can restore our sense of purpose.
The exterminating force of Project 2025 is plowing through the culture, the government and people’s hearts and bodies like a drunk on a violent tear. We wake each morning, holding our breath to bear witness to the new devastation: PBS and NPR defunded, cuts to the fight against human trafficking, Medicaid gone for millions, Ice working to surveil critics, tons of food for the poor ordered burned and wasted.
The momentum of cruelty always feels inevitable. Cruelty is by definition “a callous indifference to or pleasure in causing pain”. For those of us who have suffered physical, political, racial and emotional abuse, it feels like a familiar steamroller of violence. We only have to witness the cries of parents being separated from their children, men screaming out for “libertad” from cages in Everglades detention center (AKA Alligator Alcatraz), non-violent protesters beaten for trying to stop a genocide, to be frozen in that same incapacitating dread and fear.
What is the antidote to this destructive environment of mendacity possessing us now with fear, ennui and self-mutilating rage?
Ash-lee Woodard Henderson, a powerhouse activist and brilliant organizer, told me: “It’s not decided where we go yet. Which is why it feels tense. What we know is that there’s no going back to an old normal because our economic system has failed us and our governmental structure is being destroyed. They’re trying to replace what was with this minority rule of disgustingly wealthy humans dictating what can happen not only in this country, but globally.

The extreme cruelty was Biden’s encouragement and allowing millions of illegal aliens to cross the US border at all. The way Trump is rectifying that is the most humane way possible. It is the parents who abandoned their children that are cruel.
The socialists lamenting “creulty”. Thy hypocrisy runneth over.
Those folks leaving the country is the best all-encompassing solution.
“I am for doing good to the poor, but...I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. I observed...that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer.”
― Benjamin Franklin

The Vagina Monologues! Now there’s a blast from the past! And here she just strings together the leftist verities, what passes for thought among these people
Per the article, I sincerely regret she was molested by her father when young. I don’t blame her for rejecting his surname. But her adoption of the single name, “V” is just a performative selection and, Done in 2019, coincided with the loss of her prominence. She was a one hit wonder with the monologues; now apparently taking another run at having people give a damn about what she says

BTTT
And they were the ones that defend antifa?
Thanks for the daily V-gram or Vaginalogue. Otherwise I just wouldn’t know what in the world to think about anything.
I thought she might have been Christian Bale’s stepmother for a while, but that was Gloria Steinem. She was actually Dylan McDermott’s stepmother for a while.

I liked the part about burning food for the poor.
At the core of the Left’s agenda is a visceral hatred for America, its institutions, liberties and the human rights of its citizens. They mean to transform it, destroy it and make it into a cog of a globalist gulag run by elites by any means necessary. There must be no concessions to them. The Democrat Party is their political means to achieve their goals. It must be destroyed. Decent, rational Americans must come to realize that any vote for any Democrat, anywhere anytime is a vote to destroy America. Those that fund the Left must be identified and held accountable. Either the decent and rational prevail or the country will be lost.
What do you mean “we”, pale face?
V for Vacuous.
Vagina Chronicles? Stupid is as stupid does. Can’t help themselves.
I think it is a good thing that illegals are afraid they might be sent to alligator Alcatraz. Go back to your country
What a pile!
Just completely bonkers of course.
BTW, since when does the left give a rat’s ass about human trafficking? Their preferred policy of lawless open borders practically guarantees human trafficking. But they consider it acceptable collateral damage in order to expand the Democrat electoral base. For the left it’s always about empowering the revolution, and human consequences be damned. Their abstract compassion leads to concrete suffering every friggin time.
WTF does former mean and V and why? V for vitriolic and Vomitous
DYSWHDT?
