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.

A brief detour to Bizzar-O-World to see what the left is up to.
Glad it was brief.
V (formerly Eve Ensler)
Liar.
Always good to size up the opposition. So far, they’re destroying themselves, please let’s not interrupt them.
Seriously? These assclowns are still on the project 2025 falsehood. When are they going to jump on the russiagate story? Fookin’ idjits!
Trump’s cruelty is an effort to get the freeloaders to take some responsibility for themselves.
Good grief.
These lying liars.
I think the author needs a lobotomy.
Now that’s a LOL headline if I’ve ever seen one!
Leftists can fund their own leftist programs. Conservatives are no longer toothless. Now we have Trump and his MAGA crew.
“I will not fix you a sammich.”
Wikipedia:
V, formerly Eve Ensler (/ˈɛnslər/; born May 25, 1953), is an American playwright, author, performer, feminist, and activist. V is best known for her play The Vagina Monologues.[1][2][3] In 2006 Charles Isherwood of The New York Times called The Vagina Monologues "probably the most important piece of political theater of the last decade."[4]In 2011, V was awarded the Isabelle Stevenson Award at the 65th Tony Awards, which recognizes an individual from the theater community who has made a substantial contribution of volunteered time and effort on behalf of humanitarian, social service, or charitable organizations. V was given this award for her creation of the non-profit V-Day movement which raises money and educates the public about violence against women, gender expansive people, and the Earth [5] - and efforts to stop it.
She writes for The Guardian and has been featured in films including V-Day's Until the Violence Stops, the PBS documentary What I Want My Words to Do to You, and the Netflix documentary City of Joy, among others. She regularly appears in print, radio, podcast, and television interviews including on CNN,[6] Democracy Now,[7] TODAY,[8] Real Time with Bill Maher and Russell Simmons Presents Def Poetry.
Mouthpiece for Democrat talking points. Offers no examples, just one-liners. I’m sure there are hellhole socialist countries that would welcome Eve Ensler.
Yep...she’s a poster-girl for mental illness.
A good example as to why we need to reoppen the Insane Asylums.
I think she has had one already.
Wait a second. This is SO bad, are we sure it ain’t the “bee”?
