•Went 8 for 8 in his endorsements winning their elections

Consequence

We're not going to first have the "revolution" & THEN try to sort things out & help people.

The problem-solving & mutual help IS the revolution. They cannot be separated.

Old systems must be torn down. Part of tearing them down is creating new ways of living.

Begin creating the world you want to live in NOW. Don't wait.

An Ex used to tell me stories of the prison support he would do and, at that time, I was frankly puzzled by it.

It seemed thankless, pointless, and weird.

But more and more I'm seeing how critical it is especially when it's clear how the government is absolutely railroading these #prairieland brothers and sisters for their beliefs vs what actually happened.

This is a test. An important one.
If the government can literally make shit up, not present real evidence (reading about Emma Goldman together is not evidence of conspiracy), abuse and torture them while in custody, and there is no public support for these folks, then we may as well just lay down and let the fuckers do whatever they want.

These folks need *better attorneys*. If anything, this is the most important thing they need.

Ms Rachel: “It’s normal to be horrified by genocide and not want your tax dollars going towards killing kids”

It’s crazy that this has to be said because there are still people who don’t agree.
