the donald trump animatronic at disneyland’s hall of presidents looks like they made an animatronic for hillary, went “oh fuck” and stretched a hastily-made donald trump skin over hillary’s facial structure
that is oddly specific and hauntingly what it really looks like
revolution is a continuous process. activist burn-out is real. If you’re new to activism, remember to practice grounding yourself, resting, and maybe most importantly, trusting others to continue the work when you can’t, to do parts of the work that you can’t, and earn others’ trust that you will work when they can’t, that you will do parts of the work that they can’t. this isn’t a temporary thing, the work will continue to be there, needing to be done, forever. The world we’re building is not something we can achieve in a one-time event, it is something we will continue to build and maintain and rebuild and improve continuously. You need to take care of your body, mind, and spirit to be there for it– don’t grind yourself down to nothing. We have a diversity of abilities and embodiment and means of influencing the world, and that’s a good and beautiful thing. Honor what you can do, and trust in your comrades to do what they can. From each according to their ability, to each according to their need.
IF DEMOCRATS WIN CONTROL OF THE SENATE, MITCH McCONNELL CANNOT DO THE SAME EGREGIOUSLY EVIL BULLSHIT HE’S BEEN PULLING SINCE FOREVER.
If Democrats win control of the Senate, they can finally push forward a better healthcare plan, among other important pieces of legislation that will guide the United States to a more progressive and equitable future. The GOP is so partisan that they would rather see us lose our healthcare altogether during a global pandemic than allow a Democratic healthcare plan to pass. They proved that in this past year.
Democrats just need 2 more seats to hold the majority with VP Kamala Harris as the tiebreaker. There are 2 seats up for grabs in the run-off election.
You do the math.
Listen, the presidential race would not have been this close if more young voters had voted. If every young person in America had voted, Biden would have likely swept the election. We HAVE that power, Millennials and Gen Z together. But we didn’t use it. Now Georgia is giving some of us a second chance.
Please do not get complacent, even though it looks as though Biden is going to win. The GOP is still that same party full of sycophantic and opportunistic narcissists who old white republicans put in power, even without Trump to bow and kowtow to. They will pull the same shit they always have. So…
VOTE.
Because, as a wise man once said, the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
