“In the aftermath you look around and see who else is still afloat and it’s the most unexpected people, and are you still on the surface? And you gradually swim together and you link up…and thank god we’re still here.” -@thecoastguy

This is amazing. The conversation has gone
in a direction which is a reminder of what we have been gifted with and as terrible as this time has been I’d never want to lose the incredible connectivity between people who I would never have met and the integrity of these relationships I am so invested in. It’s the hope…the
hope lies in that. In us.

I’m not going to return to FB after my ban.

Saying this here and now to hold myself accountable.

I’m downloading my data so I can save some precious memories and deleting my account. I will also delete my Instagram and WhatsApp accounts. Image
And if my tax dollars continue to be used to fund this insanity in schools, I will immigrate somewhere wise enough to at least have the sense to not pretend amongst themselves that what is happening right in front of them isn’t.

Schools in America are being paid to abuse children. This fact is being censored by private companies such as Facebook.

If you think this is somehow reasonable let me add that this is federal money. So this is YOUR money.

Please tell me how this is any less insidious than
the third Reich.

You can’t.

Overuse of the comparison has made us numb to when it’s actually happening.
No use of the Stalinist comparison makes us blind to when it is happening.

Domestic Terrorism - White House or Securitate? via @YouTube

People need to realize that this isn’t going to be solved politically.

This war.
Calling this misinformation is a tactic used by Stalin as well. If you don’t see how dangerous a time this is and won’t listen to those of us who know this history PERSONALLY and aren’t hearing what people from Eastern Europe, Venezuela, are screaming from
the rooftops…if you continue to ignore it and expect that someone will suddenly wave a magic wand and this will disappear before it gets MUCH worse and by much I mean…you will ask yourself why you didn’t push back more when you had the chance and more vulnerable will die…

Dissidents left frameworks to help us. They left plays, art and lectures. They left letters and bodies.

The choice to listen to their wisdom, or not, is ours.

“We are approaching the brink; already a universal spiritual demise is upon us; a physical one is about to flare up
and engulf us and our children, while we continue to smile sheepishly and babble:

all the labors of our ancestors, all the prospects of our descendants—anything to avoid disrupting our meager existence. We have lost our strength, our pride, our passion.

“We have been indoctrinated in political courses, and in just the same way was fostered the idea to live

I need to add one more thing. I recently read some tweets by a man who teaches at NYU medical school. He teaches ethics. He teaches ethics at the same school I paid thousands and thousand to attend - the only school I wanted to attend.

And what does he do? He mocks,
the unvaccinated. He belittles us. He thinks it is ethical to scoff at bodily autonomy and he feels it is just to teach this to his students.

How did we get here?

“Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor
Safety."
