No they came for the trans people first, too.

The more money you have, the more daily annoyances you can pay to get rid of, and the smaller they are. By the time you have billions of dollars, the things that annoy you daily can be EXTREMELY small and petty. You become disconnected from what other people are dealing with.

Gee, I can't imagine why Germany would want to slow down government actions...

It looks like a lot of US states are about to declare backsies.

Oh no! It looks like they have their 51st state!

Do you prioritize not having illegal status in another country over your own ability to stay alive and stay safe?

Just make sure you never go anywhere near a protest unless your phone is in airplane mode or off. Governments can use phone networks to tell whose phones are active within a given area.

And talk to the people there to learn how to be more effective.

Each day's protest has more people than the last, even on days when the weather is awful.

Bring more people to the protests. Don't stop now.

If that's going to happen anyway, might as well happen the first day.

Parrots can mimic humans too, but they don’t understand what we’re saying the way we do.

It's interesting how humanity thinks that humans are smarter than animals, but that the benchmark it uses for animals' intelligence is how well they do an imitation of an animal with a different type of brain.

As if humanity succeeds in imitating other animals and communicating in their languages or about the subjects that they find important.

The United States would be better with a lot more toasters.

Groceries.

The debt is for groceries.

Super wealthy people portray it like you just did, but what you said isn't accurate.

People are putting basic necessities on credit cards now.
