Friends, I have to post from my heart. I feel so lucky for my connections here. And I feel so lucky for my connections with members of Indivisible Santa Fe. Right now things are very scary, and knowing that I am not alone makes all the difference.

Can’t find salsa in your town? Try making your own! So easy! I just tried this and it’s wonderful!

News has to step up and quote properly instead of just embedding tweets.
When that site's unavailable for any and all reason their reporting will be devoted of any and all context and info. Or if someone just deletes their account.

“Hitler also relied on terror to achieve his goals. Lured by the wages, a feeling of comradeship, and the striking uniforms, tens of thousands of young jobless men put on the brown shirts and high leather boots of the Nazi Storm Troopers (Sturmabteilungen). Called the SA, these auxiliary policemen took to the streets to beat up and kill some opponents of the Nazi regime. Mere fear of the SA pressured into silence other Germans who did not support the Nazis.”

“States are violent institutions. The government of any country, including ours, represents some sort of domestic power structure, and it’s usually violent. States are violent to the extent that they’re powerful, that’s roughly accurate.”

It is fascism.
At a journalism event I asked about using the word so journalism can cover and explain it. I was told that we can't call fascists fascists because it would put off the fascists.
This is fascism. Those who refuse to identify it are not doing journalism.

@minego @pathfinder @dave @hellomiakoda I gave this an awful lot of thought over the years. Maybe this is Buddhism finally seeping into my skull, but I’m starting to feel it’s far easier if I stop classifying people as “friend” or “acquaintance,” etc and just see them all as fellow primates. Maybe I’m tired of all the complications that compartmentalizing people brings
I dunnow what I’m talking about. Ignore me. 😅🙏
