#& before anyone tries to recommend me some nice simple online tax preparation thing; srry but i am legally not allowed to#bc I'm a dual citizen living abroad 🙃 So I have to pay an accountant $500/year to fill it out for me instead#Hey Americans! Did u know if you ever permanently move abroad you actually still have to file US tax returns for the rest of your life?#And report the balances of all your bank accounts to the US government? With potential fines of tens of thousands of dollars#PER year PER form that you don't fill out?#Fun fact: this also applies in many many cases if you were born abroad to a US parent and have never even been to the US!!!#Fun fact: the US government doesn't tell you this! There are thousands of people all over the world#who are considered tax evaders by the US and stand to be immediately arrested or fined the minute they set foot on US soil!!!#Most of this is hardly ever enforced ofc bc the IRS simply doesn't have the manpower to do so#but it's a handy little sword of Damocles hanging over the head of every US citizen all over the world#so that if anyone ever steps out of line - whoopsieee! looks like you haven't been filing your FBARs huh?#Would be a pity if you were extradited and arrested for tax evasion :)#One more fun fact: apart from the US the only other country to require lifelong taxation and tax filing from its citizens abroad is Eritrea#a totalitarian dictatorship with one of the worst human rights records in the world#But thank god the America is such a paragon of freedom and democracy <3 🙃🙃🙃

Dictatorship to Democracy ?
Tumblr media
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK, also known as North Korea) is a highly centralised totalitarian state. Despite being one of the poorest countries in the world, it maintains one of the largest militaries and devotes significant resources to its illicit nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs. The country is widely considered to have the worst human rights record in the world. Officially, North Korea is an "independent socialist state” which holds democratic elections; however, outside observers have described the elections as sham elections. The country has no friendly relations with any other country in the world and has always insisted to have a closed economy and moreover to have no connections with the outside world.
But, in what comes as a shock to the whole world, The Democratic People's Republic of Korea in a seismic shift for the long-isolated nation, has chosen a path of economic reform, actively seeking partnerships with foreign countries. This dramatic turn not only signals a recognition of the limitations of its self-reliant "Juche" ideology and a desperate need to revitalise its struggling economy but also marks a historic pivot for the once isolated nation, signalling a willingness to embrace global integration and build a brighter future for its citizens. The statement that has been given by the Central committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea is-:
“Today, we stand at a crossroads in the glorious history of our Democratic People's Republic of Korea. For decades, we have built a nation on the principles of Juche, self-reliance, and unwavering commitment to socialist ideals. We have weathered storms, defied adversity, and carved our own path toward self-sufficiency. Yet, we stand now at a juncture where embracing a new chapter is not only necessary, but essential. Therefore, with resolute conviction and a steadfast gaze towards the future, the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea announces a paradigm shift in our economic strategy. We declare, unreservedly and with open arms, our decision to embark on a journey of economic reform and international cooperation.
This is not a betrayal of our Juche ideology, but rather, a strategic evolution for its continued success. We recognize that in an increasingly interconnected world, isolation cannot be the sole path to prosperity. We acknowledge that harnessing the collective strengths of humanity, embracing the dynamism of global markets, and fostering partnerships with nations beyond our borders will be crucial in propelling our beloved DPRK to new heights.”
Other than this, the regime led by Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un has adopted a multi-faceted approach to this historic opening:
1. Unlocking Infrastructure Potential
2. Industrial Renaissance
3. Agricultural Transformation
4. Tourism and Entertainment
5. Specialized Manufacturing
6. Blockchain and Digital Currency
7. Eco-tourism and Conservation
8. Improvement of Healthcare
9. Improvement of education
10. Promotion of sporting activities
These are the various sectors that the country is aiming to target. North Korea is in desperate need of help from the other nations, but this will come as a huge cost for the country due to several reasons like a) sanctions and political tensions b) transparency and governance c)labor and human rights d) environmental protection and most importantly the toughest job will to earn to trust and support of the other nations because of its non-friendly relations in the past.
Task at hand-
As the PROs of the Central committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea, your job is to pitch to the other nations to help you in opening your country’s economy and bringing a change to the world. You will have to keep various points in mind while pitching like, why should the other nations trust you, why should they invest in your country etc.
Every team will be allocated different countries that they will be pitching to. The countries include:
1. India PRO1
2. USA PRO2
3. South Korea PRO3
4. France PRO4
5. Germany PRO5
6. Canada PRO7
7. Saudi Arabia PRO8
8. UK PRO10
Moreover, A) You need to make a report consisting of:
1. Executive summary
2. Defence Strategies (Should also include why your country deserves the help)
3. Public Relations Strategies
4. A new campaign explaining the sectors you will be targeting for the development.
5. Press release.
B) Creatives
You are also required to submit a PPT of not more than 5 slides and a report which should encapsulate the deliverables mentioned above.
Submit all the deliverables at: [email protected]
Submission Deadline: 5 AM

Why Do I Hate Ivermectin?
I was asked to do an article on ivermectin and I feel that it is important to understand the science behind ivermectin (and HCQ).  I think if you know the science, you will be as skeptical as I am.
I was once being quizzed by an Attending Physician when I was a resident.  I stuttered as I was answering and said, “I think…”  He stopped me mid-sentence and said, “Son, you are a second year internal medicine resident, I don’t give a shit what you think.  What do you know?”
You see, it really isn’t relevant to all of you what I think. You aren’t interested in my opinion.   You are reading this post because you are interested in what I know.  I don’t take anything at face value and I always read all of the studies that people are using as a reference to prove a point. The thing is, most “studies” aren’t worth the paper they are printed on and don’t actually “study” anything.  Worst thing is, sometimes it’s a fake.  
We all know about the faked anti-vaccine trial by Andrew Wakefield, the completely discredited, former doctor, who started the anti-vaccine movement by faking data on autism and vaccines. In case you didn’t, he faked the original anti-vaccine study and In 2010, the British General medical council found that Wakefield “had been dishonest in his research, had acted against his patients' best interests and mistreated developmentally delayed children.”  That’s right anti-vaxxers. That’s your start, one giant lie. 
I have read all of the studies that I will make reference to in this post and regrettably, every study I can find on ivermectin. As of now, I do not see any evidence that supports the use of ivermectin for Covid in humans outside of a clinical trial. Hey! That’s what the cdc says too….odd. 
In general, American doctors are snobby.  We want studies from Europe, Israel, Australia, Canada and the good ole USA.  We don’t want studies from countries with dictatorships or totalitarian regimes.  These countries have a long track record of producing fake studies and bad studies.  Countries such as China, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Brazil, Venezuela, etc.  You know, the same governments that hack us and steel info from us, those ones.  It is in their governments interest to make all of their people think they have a treatment for covid, otherwise there would be revolts.  American doctors generally would never consider a study from Egypt as high quality, unless it was published in a very well respected journal.  There just isn’t any quality control.
The science behind HCQ is basically the same, except with ivermectin, a large clinical trial showing it helped, was all fake.  HCQ just didn’t work.  Lots of us used HCQ at the beginning of covid until real studies were done showing it didn’t work and may actually worsen outcomes.
Remember, most drugs are safe in normal doses, but toxic in doses outside of the “therapeutic window” that is the dose that both will have the desired effect, but also is safe and well tolerated.  Too little drug, it doesn’t work, too much drug, it causes toxicity. 
First, It is very important to test all drugs that are easily available for activity in covid.  This starts in a test tube. Ivermectin was approved in 1996 for the treatment of  strongyloides and hookworms.  In animal studies, it is lethal in overdose and causes toxicity at 10x the approved dose.  It also was found to be a teratogen (birth defects) and is not approved for use in pregnant women.  Otherwise, it is quite safe and effective in comparison to approved treatments of the time and was approved after being studied in about 1700 patients (half given ivermectin, half given old treatments).  It is widely available and is pretty safe (Except in pregnancy).
Ivermectin was found to have in vitro (test tube) activity against the SARS COV2 virus.  I know that sounds great, but remember what we said about the therapeutic window. It was shown, in the test tube, to inhibit activity of covid by 50% at a concentration of 2 μM (1,750 ng/mL), which is > 35× higher than the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of 0.05 µM (46.6 ng/mL) after oral administration of the approved dose (~ 200 μg/kg) and ivermectin showed little to no activity at 1 μM in vitro. 
Wait, so that means you would need 35 times the approved dose to inhibit covid and ivermectin is toxic at 10x the dose.  It also causes birth defects?  Count me out.
As you might imagine, based on this knowledge it is very hard for me to believe that you can safely dosed ivermectin could have any benefit for covid.  Now, on to the bad studies. 
Remember what I said about studies from certain countries?  
In November, an article from Egypt was published without review in an online site called Research Square.  Never heard of it? Me either?  It showed a 99% reduction in mortality.  Holy crap, that’s amazing, right?  Of course.  Despite it having such a completely unrealistic outcome, many doctors picked this up and ran with it.  In America, a group of doctors that named themselves the FLCCC, led by two guys named Paul Marik and Pierre Kory, latched on to this and started spouting its effects. I personally have a lot knowledge and not a lot of respect for Marik’s work predating covid. His FLCCC “treatment guidelines” have never been evidence based and in general he has never been able to publish studies that prove his claims.
So after this first study from Egypt comes out, a bunch of studies follow and are picked up by Marik’s group.  They did a “review” of them and included the Egyptian study. Most of the studies aren’t even reviewed and are published online as “preprint.” They are from Egypt, India, Iraq, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Peru, Nigeria, Mexico, and Argentina.  None of these places are exactly known for being in the 1st world and none of the other studies showed the massive effect as the Egyptian study.  
Then, a medical student in the UK is assigned the Egyptian study for a report. He actually reads the study.  It doesn’t make sense.  He then requests more information from the authors and they sent him the “patient data.”  It was clearly faked and he got some journalists involved.  After they involved an expert on faked studies, the study was then taken down from Research Square over “ethical concerns.”  Too bad Marik didn’t bother to do what the med student did.
Unfortunately, this has led to a massive amount of confusion.  If you think that there is a treatment for covid, you might not take the vaccine.  Even If it worked, we would be taking about a minimal effect.   Heck, it could even be toxic if you give it to that many people.  The other big problem is we have to do a bunch of American studies to see if it does work.  Studies that could have been done with another treatment.  What a waste of time and lives. 
So why do I hate ivermectin?  Well, I don’t.  I hate the waste of time I have spent writing this article to discuss a drug that could only be effective for covid if you took enough to kill you.  I hate the people that faked the study, they have cost lives.  I don’t hate Marik, but I definitely think he is crazy and I’m not interested in what he thinks and that isn’t new.  Unfortunately he has a big microphone and I just have this little one.
My biggest recommendation is ask your doctor if you should have the vaccine.  If you trust YOUR doctor, listen to HIM or HER.  Not some YAHOO online like ME. Remember, you trust your doctors to take care of your babies, born and unborn, cut you open, give us anesthesia and put cameras in all our holes. You trust them to help you make major medical decisions about your life. Keep doing that, they care about you. We care about you. 
Please, don’t post any articles in support of ivermectin. I read them and found them lacking. Also, don’t post another doctors opinion of ivermectin. I don’t care what they think, just what they know.
PS: I am a Critical Care Pulmonologist, I take care of sick people. Hopefully that won’t be you.
Oh yeah. Feel free to share. I should really charge for these.

And here we go.....
Tumblr media Tumblr media
@randybr3001 I appreciate the input but once more allow me to put this in context again for those in the back. So please this is a open answer not just directed at you.
First. Protests are part of the things we allow in this country. I agree fully with the rights of all people to speak out against what they feel is wrong, or an injustice to make voices heard by those in seats of power. Do so without harming others, physically, mentally, emotionally. And I will let you chant / rant all day long. That is was free speech truly is. 
Turn violent, attempt to harm others, destroy property, or even make the VERBAL CALL FOR A FORM OF VIOLENCE. .. this is not free speech under our Constitution.
You are done. Your argument is no longer valid, your right to “protest” is removed and you will not have me defending your rights to speak out. *disclaimer
*So lets put this in context however. If the government that is supposed to be “for the people” truly was a fascist, totalitarian's, autocratic, dictatorship that was preventing people from feeling “safe, able to life full lives, stopping basic decent human rights to food, water, and housing. etc, etc.... then would violent uprising be potentially necessary?? That was determined in history, however today is not that case. 
The protests and violence in Portland, Chicago, NY, and other places.. were not because of some Government overreach, not because a political party was not in the seat of power, They were not because over taxation. 
They were based upon the overabundance of police brutality's that we have come to see against the black communities over the last few years. The protests were asking for change, a change in policy a change in tactics, a change in how we performed a process and provided law enforcement, and to make every feel they were equal under law.(something I believe is written in some document somewhere under the Bill of Rights.) 
Yes calls for action, but they are “calls for action” and yet in the last near decade even I can say, I have seen little change to our Criminal Justice System that were put in place to make people feel their voices were being heard, and thus when you are overwhelmingly feeling oppressed and angry, especially about the RIGHT TO LIFE.... and having to live in fear of the legal system that is supposed to be there to protect you, it is understandable that that level may rise to one of a more physicals violent reaction. 
To compare the movements that are about human rights, and the right to live in safety and not living in fear, and the fact you  “feel” that your team lost.
I will defend the right to life and living safely every time over some “butthurt feelings”
Lets break this down.. 
May 25th , 2020 - Was George Floyd killed in the line of police action and duty because someone said he passed a counterfeit $20 bill? YES. 
Evidence - several hundred videos, several witness testimonies, bodycam footage, audio recordings of dispatch.
Crime - The actions of the police, were not in line with department policy and therefore criminal which cost the life of a human being that they are sworn to “serve and protect” yes... even someone who may have committed a crime. They take an oath of service. 
June 1st , 2020  - Peaceful Protesters in Washington DC, Lafayette Park protesting the conflicts of the police issues facing our nation, shot at with rubber bullets, tear gassed, beaten, and trampled by law enforcement because someone wanted to make a “show of force” and get out of the “safe room” he had supposedly been whisked away to.
Evidence - Once more hundreds of hours of video footage, testimony by not only citizens , by members of the press, military agencies, email documentation, etc etc.  
Crime - Federally instituted police brutality upon the citizens of America who were exercising their free speech rights, protesting as the Constitution of the United States allows them to do so. No property was damaged during this event, or day, UNTIL - police and law enforcement were directed by the President of the United States to “fire upon them” 
Once more Evidence - Documented dossiers right from the White House with directives from Trump to his Military leaders and the federal police that protect that area. To “clear the area” just so he can walk across the street, hold a Bible upside down on church property, for a picture. No one was in danger, no one was being harmed until he made that decision. 
January 6th, 2021  - Several rallies were being held by several groups in Washington DC. All of them at the time supporting either Trump or Anti Vaxx etc etc.. None of them ever were told to stand down, none were threatened with legal action, none were given warnings to disperse for any reason. However during these rallies or “protests” as they want to call them, as the claim is that somehow their rights were / have been infringed upon because.....”we didn't win and we couldn’t prove that we are right” During each of these rallies, calls for violence were made, against members of our Government, against citizens of the United States of America who were doing their sworn civic duty, Calls for the murder of the police that were there protecting them. All of this BEFORE they even marched upon the Capitol Steps. When they did, did they enter the Capitol as legal American Citizens, via the two citizen entrances that they are allowed to? Did they go through the screening process that is in place for all of the Federal Buildings there in D.C. When they did did they do so in a peaceful line marching in the halls of the Capitol making sure to respect the lives of those within and simply say they wanted their voices heard? Did they lay down the firearms that they brought into the building where firearms are NOT allowed? Were they removing items from the Capitol to preserve them from some foreign entity that was suddenly going to ransack our country? 
NO. 
They, did everything that they have been whining about happening on the “other side” Why? Because again, lets be clear, not one of your CIVL RIGHTS was in any way in danger, not one of your LIVES were being threatened in a way that called for the actions, not one of the reasons that the mob that entered the Capitol was for Constitution, or what it stood for.. it was all for an individual that convinced people that something happend that once more never did. 
Evidence - Lets not even get into the hours of shit that can be brought up here, Not to mention, the powers that be, who KNEW these rallies were going on , severely underestimated what the potential was and how to deal with it, and worst of all, the fact that the President of the United States was not even moved, secured, or even mentioned about his safety should scare your very soul for whom was truly letting that violence happen and only when it had hit a level that could not be ignored was something said, “Time to go home, We love you.”
Crime - INSURRECTION - plain simple. from the top down. The worse crime is that you have those in power that once more, are pandering to a single individual instead of acknowledging the rift that has been created and continue to propagate the lies and disparagement he created and then ..”meh.. hes out of office it’s all okay now, we have to attack the other guy!. And excuses for those that were a part of this behavior.
For those in the back again... allow me to let Mr. Webster clarify. For me. 
Tumblr media
And with that said, once more you want to believe that there was fraud? Fine. I choose to disagree based on the evidence that has been presented so far.
You want to believe that Antifa and BLM truly got dressed up as Trump supporters and charged the gates and are the ones who really started this? Sure believe it. Once more the evidence that has been presented and continues to pour out in droves, shows that is not true. 
You want to believe your rights have been trampled upon? That your lives are in danger? That you are being oppressed by the legal system that was / has been put in place to serve you? You want to feel as equals? 
Then once more present evidence and factual foundations for your arguments, not just fearmongering and lies and misinformation. Then learn how to write and petition your congress, learn how to become active in your local systems and get others of like minds to support your ideas. 
If you can’t do that.. then as @digitaldiscipline​ said. Sit down.. let the adults do their jobs and keep the world spinning for us all.

I Was There(Great)...Again
Trumpur(i)nations to us All! We’re all bout to get pissed on!
Washington DC resembled that of a (I’m told) harry potter fog/ whitey? people game of thrones dystopian nightmare. But mostly Dark Knight. I don’t know if it was Trump jacking Bane’s speech with grim, hitler-esque tones of totalitarian madness or the bird flocks looming feverishly around the white house like a wild pack of bats, but it was a spot on parallel to everyone’s worst knightmares rolled into a huge piece of frightful blockbuster entertainment. And the reality show rolls on.
The sky looked like dark knighttime and blinding day white at the same time (and not just the fact that trump’s fan club was almost exclusively white).
Insane amount of security, took 45 minutes to walk through a checkpoint. These did not exist at Obama’s inauguration, where there was WAY MORE PEOPLE, who was gloriously happy, singing Bob Dylan, and being vaguely observed by like 14 snipers. That brilliant day eight years ago, people flooded the mall, search-free, and though it was far colder, everyone was warm. It was a great day. This, this was something entirely different. Took almost an hour to get through the ridiculous line, but not after security dramatically broke the stick that was supporting my NODAPL sign, with white priv trump bros taunting me with “just like your broken dreams”. Once inside, it was clear no one was there, just a hitler-esque speech about carnage and a war on muslimism. It was bleak to say the last. This is what the end of America sounds like.
Had to get away from the terrible sounds of hatred and racism and found far more people protesting nearby. Saw a busted up limo, though no evidence of who did it, and it was claimed later the vehicle was set on fire. So the chants got louder and then the masses came out, still peaceful, but heated. They used the limo thing to justify pepper spraying everyone ever, including elder women who were just singing. Then they  started dropping bombs like WW7 and people were running down the streets for their lives. The blockbuster movie again. Retreating in the park nearby, hearing the bombs dropping, there was talk of a soldier who was experiencing PTSD by being there; chaos was everywhere. I heard everyone smoked at 4:20 into trump’s speech, which I distantly smelled, but mine was a smoke cloud of terror. When it was all said and not done, peoples’ eyes were burning, horrid smells of berning encompassed city blocks, chemicals were taste-able in the air, 200 arrests of people rounded up in the area that did nothing now facing insane felony charges; the city was on fire….not a strong start.
The Awokening
The following day was like a waking of a dead collective unconscious. There were so many people flooding the streets. Just maybe there are some good people left. It was reassuring, yet heartbreaking to think what they and their children will have to endure. On the way out, saw a Muslim man being arrested outside an apartment building in VA. Probable coincidence but weird sight nonetheless, chilling past future reminders of the madness ahead and behind.
Walking with all the people, the women, the children, so many clever signs, it was a breathtaking image. The celebrity scene was tight too. Lil’ bigg Mikey Moore was there again, inspiring us to action through his humor, his confessed crippling social anxiety, and the beginning of an anti-trump satire movement. Scarlett Johansen seemed to get it, and Ashley Judd’s words chilled to the very core. Madonna was a little questionable, particularly her performance, but the indigo girls soothed with a once popular uplifting 90s vibe, we have to bring that sound with us into this uncertain future. There’s something about the wonder of the unknown that seemed exciting, not frightening, on the capitol that day. That if there are enough good people still left in this country, we really might use this horror show to create something amazing. The revolutionary shift is truly upon us now, people are getting woke AF, etc. Uplifting, inspiring, and lots of chanting. “Show me what democracy looks like “ “This is what Democracy looks like. “ “Whose streets?” “our streets!” (not wall street), we even threw a couple “Bernie would have wons” into the mix; it was not difficult to get that one going quick et loud. Flooding through the streets with the largest crowd I’ve ever marched with, full of so many passionate, compassionate women and human beings, was truly glorious expression of an engaged political process that works of the people, for the people, and by the people.
Non-Alternative Facts
To be clear, There were WAY MORE PEOPLE at the womens’ march than the Inauguration
The women’s march was a reassuring, hopeful bucket of sunshine compared to the apocolypto ****show I had witnessed the day before. And there were a ton more people there. I repeat : There were way, way MORE PEOPLE AT THE MARCH ON SATURDAY, no matter how much the fake media actual photos tries to lie to us with facts. And for the record, way more of those who actually showed up Friday were there to protest Donny, and everyone there Saturday was protesting him except twelve embarrassed/angry trumpets, so the numbers are not in his favor. FAUX FACTcheck
There was a point with an engaged discussion between trumpets and non-trumpets that was uplifting, hopeful, and something different to see. Most of the exchanges between us were heckles.
One month Down…so far Down to go
My journey was wrapping up in DC, but only beginning to unwrap for life after Donny. As long as maniacs roam free in that tainted house I kept staring at in wonder and disgust, the fight will continue. As long as injustice and inhumanity occurs, WE the people will be here.
I walk past the massive sign displays lining a fence, greatly resembling a certain future Mexican wall, only these were expressing messages of hope and peace, not division and hatred. I left a couple of the signs I had been carrying around all day against the fence. I hope this incredible art piece stays here until Trump is impeached, but I am told they were all burned later that night by Trump’s thug brigade fan boys. Ew L Though this week has been a shakey start (understatement of the century), the marches and protests come to confirm what we knew all along: this country is great because of those who stay involved, not those who stay in charge.
 REVELATION NATION
It’s more than kinda crazy we rejected a qualified woman running for prez for the most sexist, sexual assaulting, and least qualified man to ever run for prez. Double Slap in the face for women, and now trumps tryin to close planned parenthood and ban abortion so it as a reaction to all those things and much more. nobody there cared that hill dawg didnt get a divorce. i know i dont.
This man can shove his way into our heads and twitterings and blood and infect us with the new old fascists amerika that was always there but you tried not to talk about til that black dude left the room.
What has happened here today leaves many stunned, punched, and wanting to move to Europe. But there’s no escape from tyranny, there’s no escape from dictatorship or racism or the few with so much wanting to keep it at the expense of their fellow people. (well maybe Sweden?) When there is enough for us all but some want more and that’s ok because “I worked for it” but don’t see how it’s the rich we should blame. The working poor felt the sadness, the women felt it--
Do you believe us now, do you feel how fragile your life really was and the floor slipping out from under the poor. “I wont be affected” you will, plus that kinda makes you sound like a dick bag, big time.
We are each other, one people. If there is injustice , it must be made right, and especially by those more so in the position to do and not suffering the same as those oppressed most, our Fellow Humans.
And we’ve lost Ourselves, only to find Ourselves
We have much to fight for now, don’t you see?  
This is the point in the world… this is it.
No exaggerating, no whammy—just WHAM
 I saw it but I still don’t believe it.
The sinking feeling that swept the crowd under a fog that was darkness but blinding white
Is it snowing
Are there bombs going off
YES, and you will have nightmares for weeks, but that’s nothing compared to four years, four more minutes
and the city burns, and not in the good berning way, the way that makes you see that the inherent flaws within capitalism and this great experiment of democracy that has truly succumbed to the inescapable corruptions of man. THAT kinda way
 8 years ago it was all different. Funny to think. Makes you laugh that painful cringe that turns a stomach
In the way that Ashley judd could catapult southern words into our shivering goosebumped souls-
It wasn’t even cold, not raining like the yesterdays of inaugurations-
How long ago that must have been
 We are Fighting for what we are Living for
Why bother? Everyone has their reasons—the families gathered here are fueled by love
Why did people vote for trump? Everyone has their reasons
Mostly action comes from places pushed to walls, bumps of dissatisfaction
we’ve grown too irritated to keep scratching, maybe we’re just tired
Meryl Lynch Streep
And even when the most beloved women who the public idolized like a star in the sky, defended the cripples and those who were different, and even those who weren’t. she herself was not defended, instead the public began to question even her trusted voice of wisdom, they questioned very facts as presented by a corporate fueled source-well I guess that part did make a little more sense-but they weren’t asking the right questions
Who made the choice---when we think we’re doing something on own , hand tied to its pupeteer.
“You’re a puppet. “no YOU’RE the puppet”
We’re ALL PUPPETS, getting played by the puppeteer, and now it’s gotten worse,
How do we get out of this nowwwww ---sinkink sinking sink holes earthquakes?
You did technically want it this way. depravity enforced, we can all speak our filthy little minds now
But it pushes you somewhere when things got lost so lost
We can cry and be babies and we are but we need to get out there now
Put bodies in ideas, action in passive, standing but sitting (in)
Just to clarify in a time where Nothing is Clear:
man-hating feminists? they been calling women who stand up for womens' rights that forever-don’t let it get to us now !! and not on our big day !
the trumpers sc(r)ewed perspective is less credible than Trump thinks CNN is. yeah no, i was there, the women were standing up for themselves, with a bunch of men with them in solidarity. if anything they might have been angry at specific white dudes taking away their rights...makes sense. This blind love of trump twists reality, and reasoning has mostly gone out of open close-minded windows.  1) they weren't specifically anti-pro life, whatever that is, they spoke to maintaining planned parenthood and affordable womens' healthcare. 2) there were tons and tons of organizers who've worked on a variety of campaigns, so it's possible one has questionable ties. this should in no sense discredit the event. 3) i saw no volugarity, just an inspirational crowd of men and women who care about the future for them and their children. im sure some would be offended by some things throughout the march, but that will happen in a ginormous crowd of passionate people, made up of families, women, and men all coming together peacefully. thought it was super non-vulgar

honestly, there is something very wrong and darkly twisted within this current ray of disarray, trump, all his cabinet picks, all of it. Examine the true direction of this country, the true nature of the people living here. Stop allowing misinformed, destruction to keep circulating as news. This will not stand but know there are many to resist on all sides, that’s why we need to all join the same team. There are 99% of us getting wrecked and everything else is a distraction, keep us fighting, keep it us vs. us, when everyone knows it has and will always be (until we unite) US vs THEM. In the past, people waking up to it, those who are hip to it and get others on board, well we know what happens to them. That’s why this many of us getting pissed off, standing up to corrupt leaders across the world, we will finally reach the ultimate level of our strength in numbers (plus there’s more people on the planet now than there’s ever been, and that’s a hard fact to be faux).
Is it possible we can actually win now, again, yet for the first time? We have no other choice. The tipping point is upon us, environmentally, there is no choice. Socially, religiously, economically, there is no choice. Make or break, do or die, stay WOKE but get WOKER, and much, much quicker. People have been fighting for this for years , they’ve laid the groundwork, now for the berners and youthers and lovers and thinkers and dreamers-- to bring it home. You’ve been informed (shout out to Bernard on this one),  you can no longer keep your heads sandy and your hearts wavering. Join us, the militia pax, the war of peace, THE fight-it must be fought, has been fought, will be fought. No choice left but to WIN.
