    My grandmother fought in the Dutch resistance, helped people who were Jewish escape, and was put in a camp. She died a few years ago. This is how that happened, too. And we’re all watching. Even with americas vaunted 2nd amendment, Russian-backed fascists just walked in and took over, and everyone is just watching them. No riots, no fighting back, just passive resistance.

    I wish all of you the best of luck. I’m going to go hug my kids.

          Je ne sais pas pourquoi tu me parles en français. Me podrías hablar en español, oder auf Deutsch auch. I’m not a vatnik, fuck the capitalist modern Russian government, it’s actively oppressing people I hold very dear for being women or LGTBQ. I’m just fucking exhausted of Americans having to explain away fascism in their country in racist terms like “White Taliban” or “y’allqaida”.
