The few democrats that exist in the Tennessee legislature were removed from their committees for protesting against the corruption, the hostile takeover, and obvious racism and transphobia by their colleagues. Tennessee is a Jim Crow state.
Tennessee just signed into law the TRANS DATA COLLECTION bill.
If you spend your money in Tennessee, you are funding the hate.

“But there is another way of fighting for freedom without arms; we can fight with the mind…women of ability are held down because of a subconscious Hitlerism in the hearts of men.”
Virginia Woolf from her essay “Thoughts on Peace in an Air Raid,” referencing men favoring oppression of women over survival in the war against the Nazis.

"The pace of repression outstrips our ability to understand it.
It’s easier to hide behind 40 atrocities than a single incident."

1 day #strikes & mass #protests against #Trump might be powerful #symbolic #demonstrations of #opposition but they are meaningless.
To get genuine results #sustained non-violent, & widespread #action is more successful than single day #disruptions.
The #TrumpRegime & its backers have deep pockets.
1 day strikes are as effective on them as a bug hitting the windshield on the Trump limo.

What Empire Cannot Erase
#Persian #Poetry and #Civilization.https://we.scienceandnonduality.com/offers/D2fdqgqo/checkout
April 19, 2026 • 10:00 – 11:30am PDT (find your local time)
https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82963653279?pwd=7G6aM3thTc2VDjMn8NIApFObMcgbTZ.1We are watching, once again, what empire does: not only to bodies, but to the long memory of a people; to the libraries and sacred sites; to art, language, and the ruins that hold the oldest threads of human spiritual inquiry.
We are thinking of the civilization that gave us Rumi, Hafez, Omar Khayyam, Forough Farrokhzad — mystics and rebels and lovers of paradox who understood something about the human soul that we are still, centuries later, trying to catch up to.
This gathering is an invitation to come together: to read poetry aloud, to hear from #Iranian voices, to sit with grief and beauty together rather than alone.
We will work with #political and #moral vocabulary shaped by Iranian thinkers such as Ali Shariati, who wrote against domination, spiritual emptiness, and the violence of imposed power.
We will make space for what doesn’t fit into headlines or talking points—the complexity of empire, the difference between a government and its people, the #authoritarian forces at work not only abroad but here at home. We also gather with the political inheritance of those who taught generations to resist domination and spiritual emptiness, including Ali Shariati.

“Patriarchy works in conjunction with, through and in other systems of #oppression, such as #racism, #classism, #heterosexism, sexual dominance and #abuse, economics, justice and politics to maintain inequalities and injustices.”

🔥🔥🔥 :thisisfine: 🔥🔥🔥"In times of uncertainty, extreme movements tend to simplify reality. Complex economic and social forces are reduced to a single explanation, and that explanation often takes the form of a #conspiracy. In the early twentieth century, #Jews were portrayed simultaneously as #capitalist #exploiters and #revolutionary #subversives. The contradiction did not matter. What mattered was that the narrative provided a target.
The same dynamic can be observed today, even if the language has changed. On the far right, traditional #antisemitic tropes have reemerged in the language of “#globalists,” financial #elites, and demographic #replacement. On parts of the #radical #left, #Israel and #Zionism are sometimes framed as the central expression of global #injustice, while Jews are portrayed as beneficiaries of systemic #oppression. The ideological frameworks differ, but the emotional structure is strikingly similar."

A quotation from Robert Ingersoll
What is blasphemy? I will give you a definition; I will give you my thought upon this subject. What is real blasphemy?
To live on the unpaid labor of other men — that is blasphemy.
To enslave your fellow-man, to put chains upon his body — that is blasphemy.
To enslave the minds of men, to put manacles upon the brain, padlocks upon the lips — that is blasphemy.
To deny what you believe to be true, to admit to be true what you believe to be a lie — that is blasphemy.
To strike the weak and unprotected, in order that you may gain the applause of the ignorant and superstitious mob — that is blasphemy.
To persecute the intelligent few, at the command of the ignorant many — that is blasphemy.
To forge chains, to build dungeons, for your honest fellow-men — that is blasphemy.
To pollute the souls of children with the dogma of eternal pain — that is blasphemy.
To violate your conscience — that is blasphemy.
The jury that gives an unjust verdict, and the judge who pronounces an unjust sentence, are blasphemers.
The man who bows to public opinion against his better judgment and against his honest conviction, is a blasphemer.Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) American lawyer, freethinker, orator
Speech (1887-05) to the Jury, Trial of C. B. Reynolds for Blasphemy, Morristown, New JerseyMore about this quote: wist.info/ingersoll-robert-gre…
