I’m so tired. What did I even do to deserve the government being mean to me?
Nothing. The problem is with them, and not you. Never stop fighting. Never stop building community. Us "others" (I'm a cis straight black male, but know they are coming for all of us.) don't need to see the whips, chains, and gas chambers to know those are their endgame.
Yes officer, the person just trying to be themselves is right here. No I don't know how they dared doing such a thing.
I'm really sorry. You don't deserve this, and you've done nothing wrong! The whole thing says nothing about you, but it says everything about this regime. They do vile things, thus they are vile people.
Good morning, Worm your honour
The crown will plainly show the prisoner
Who now stands before you
Was caught red-handed, showing feelings
Showing feelings of an almost human nature
This will not do

Fine, shut it down. Your threats mean very little at this point. The US government is barely fucking working anyway. And they are already hurting everyone so what’s some more pain?
Let’s watch the rich squirm when their slave labor money machine falters.
Unfortunately the people this will hurt the most are not the people you want to be hurt
He's pushing enormous cuts across the board, with gender care just being the wedge issue the reactionaries want to fight over.
Dems spent the last year blaming civil rights activists for their defeat in '24. So the GOP thinks it can smuggle in a multi billion dollar privatization scheme and some staggering medicaid cuts by screaming Trans-Panic slogans at any Liberal who resists.
There is no US government anymore. It's a cabal of criminals racketeering and Indiscriminately murdering.
Please shut it the fuck down.
He will do that regardless. How is that a threat?
The wealthy, "We are going to shutdown the government that we need to control everything."
Everyone, "Ok!?"
At this point I just hope the government in shutdown does less permanent damage.
A redditor went viral you say? I'm sure you they're quaking in their boots!
Don't threaten me with a good time.
