What I see as I pull into the driveway.
love really is just "i am thinking of you. i will ask you if you are okay. i remember your favorite flavor of tea. i want to talk to you. i hope your mother is well. i will read to you. i like your laugh. this perfume gives you a headache. i want to help you. i will sit next to you. i got you the chocolate you like. your eyes have gold in them. i think you'd like this book. i miss you when you aren't here." isn't it
Love this!
Our flags mean death
National Park Service employees live in poverty. They make peanuts and are housed in dilapidated Quonset huts leftover from WWII that are un-insulated, full of holes, lacking running water, and often without heat or AC.
Even many of the liberals reading this think government employees are living high on the hog. Don’t be like MAGAts and think because you have hard times that everyone you perceive to be making more than you deserves to lose everything. Non-management federal government employees make shit and are forced to live in big cities where the cost of living is super high. They don’t deserve to lose their jobs or whatever benefits they may be getting to satiate oligarchs and Republicans. These employees have families, mortgages, student loans, and medical debt just like the rest of us. Additionally a disproportionate number of federal workers are marginalized people who couldn’t find any other work. They owe their jobs to the Democratic policies of hiring the disabled, veterans, people of color, women, religious minorities, etc. Times are hard for everyone and have been since Reagan and the Republicans murdered the American dream.
I know retail pays shit and most other jobs in the private sector as well. I know most people no longer have unions but that’s no reason to hate on these poor souls. Dragging everyone else down will not lift the rest of us up. Republicans, CEO’s, and oligarchs have spent decades trying to get us to turn against each other. Don’t fall for it. Your enemy isn’t the museum security guard, the librarian, the IRS receptionist, the National Park Service, the data entry tech at the Veteran’s Administration, etc.
We have one common enemy that is suppressing 98% of the public and it’s the billionaire oligarchs using corporate greed and Republican puppets against us. Drive the Republicans from office and drive the CEO’s and oligarchs from politics once and for all.
Love this look!
