Reblogs of things I find worth sharing. None of this is originally mine. I was born long enough ago to be a teenager when Woodstock first went beautifully out of control.

These seem apt, considering ICE's officers' reputations:

Lyrics from Arlo Guthrie's Alice’s Restaurant Massacre

...Kid, see the psychiatrist, room 604." And I went up there, I said, "Shrink, I want to kill

[Verse 15: Spoken]

"I mean, I wanna—I wanna kill. Kill. I wan—I wanna see, I wanna see blood and gore and guts and veins in my teeth. Eat dead burnt bodies. I mean kill. Kill. Kill! Kill!" And I started jumpin' up and down yelling, "Kill! Kill!" and he started jumpin' up and down with me and we was both jumpin' up and down yelling, "Kill! Kill!" And the sergeant came over, pinned a medal on me, sent me down the hall, and said, "You're our boy."‎...

I will never forgive nor forget those who voted for him once, let alone multiple times. We are all paying a price for their stupidity.

This is a mantis shrimp. It may look small, but it delivers one of the fastest and most powerful strikes in the animal kingdom. Its punch is so fast it creates shock waves underwater and can crack shells that would stop most predators. Sometimes reality is more unbelievable than science fiction.

Hiding their faces like cowards. Their racist beliefs are absolute dogshit and they know it.

[scottguy]

If they were proud of their beliefs , they'd show their faces. They know they can get fired for identifying as nazis! It's an open admission that the majority of society rejects their hatred.

Cowards.

“If one looks closely, many parallels can be found between providing for the physical body and providing for the mental body. Just as certain basic rules must be observed in the ingestion of food, similar rules must also be observed in the intake of thoughts into the mind. The consequence of breaking certain nutritional laws is poor physical health and considerable discomfort. Similarly, if certain laws of mental growth are violated, poor mental health follows. In the same way that food must be chosen wisely, the experience and ideas that enter the mind must also be chosen with care. If the mind is filled with too much of the material and experience provided by European culture, the danger of mental discomfort emerges in the form depression or confusion. This is especially evident in relation to television and other mass media, which often provide a steady diet mentally destructive material that, when consumed excessively, leaves one uncertain about what should and should not be done.”

Nina Simone didn’t write songs to make people comfortable. She challenged people to think about power, freedom, identity, and the stories societies tell themselves. This quote is one of her most discussed because it forces a difficult question: Who benefits when people are taught to accept injustice today in exchange for promises tomorrow? Whether you view it through the lens of race, economics, politics, religion, or history, the quote speaks to a larger idea. People often have the power to shape their own reality, yet systems can convince them to wait, settle, or believe their circumstances cannot change. That’s why Nina Simone’s words still spark debate decades later. Some hear a criticism of oppression. Others hear a warning about dependency. Others hear a call for self-determination. What makes the quote powerful is that it forces you to decide what it means for yourself. The conversation isn’t really about heaven. It’s about who controls the future and who gets told to wait for it.
