The canary has been screaming its lungs out since Bill Clinton introduced his racist anti-immigrant bill in 1997, but both Republicans and Democrats have not only ignored its cries, but hastened its situation. Both parties have created this. Don’t think this won’t affect us all.
What everyone else said.
I’m also going to gently mention that Rule 2: “No defending oppressive systems or organizations” includes defending the Democratic Party, since this is a well-known and well-documented example of a destructive, genocidal, racist, and anti-queer organization, by any metric.
Democrats and Republicans are on one side, the side opposed to anyone seeking communities based on compassion and equity.
Ok I guess this is not* the place for me.
Or maybe it’s just the place for you. It’s important to identify our mutual enemies so we can work to remove them and dismantle their systems.
