Eight diff posters appear in #Manhattan, threatening healthcare/ insurance #CEOs. They use #bullet-shaped graphics to warn "UnitedHealthcare killed everyday people for the sake of profit. As a result Brian Thompson was denied his claim to life. Who will be denied next?" also "Wall Street CEOs Should Not Feel Safe: Deny, Defend, Depose."

@TomWellborn This is real. Not a drill. Dark political forces and inidviduals are running shit, and very soon are looking to consolidate more absolute power. #NotADrill. What does freedom mean to you, how far you willing to go to #Defend you and yours #Autonomy and #Agency? Just going to #Die on your #Fucking #Couch.
Just curious.? Really look deep inside and what the fuck will you do. Or are you just going to spread those ass cheeks wide?

Reminders that where we are is still worlds better than where we were 20-30-40 years ago or heck, even than where we were at the beginning of the Obama Administration, are exactly what I needed. (Even as we prepare to #defend those gains very soon.)

beige.partyRicki Gray Area Witch Tarr (@RickiTarr@beige.party)I'm going to start listing some good things that have happened in society, and I know a lot of you are going to want to say, Well, that's all over now, it will all be taken away, but remember nothing lasts forever, even the bad stuff. So, instead of giving into despair and hopelessness, think for a second, and instead of tearing down hope, add to the list. The idea that we would have open legal gay marriage in my lifetime wasn't something I believed would happen, but here we are. I can buy legal recreational Marijuana in my state. The show Drag Race not only exists, but it has for a long time, and it's very popular. AIDS is no longer a death sentence. And to add to that, you can take a drug that will just stop you from getting it. There is a vaccine for Malaria. I can just go buy an electric car. When I was a kid, parents hitting kids was the rule, not an exception. In my teens and 20's, I never met a transitioned or transitioning Trans person, now I know lots of them. Abortion pills exist. There are tenant union. There is a vaccine against cervical cancer. Women make up more than half of the college educated work force. Millions of people showed up to protest police brutality in 2020, I know that's not enough, but if you compare that to the past, or even Rodney King, it's a big fucking deal. Things are rough, and we are scared, but we haven't just been treading water, and we won't just sit in misery. It's never going to be perfect, but we can be better.
