WIST Quotations has moved!<p>A quotation from Meir, Golda:</p><p>«<br>I’ve always felt sorry for people afraid of feeling, of sentimentality, of emotion, who conceal what they feel and are unable to weep with their whole heart.

Veirling | #MMIWG #LandBack<p>We're not going to logic and facts our way out of fascism. Please support labor movements and the work of activists, such as in the wake of George Floyd. Support antifa.

Veirling | #MMIWG #LandBack<p>I'm not dissing on that at all. I'm just saying we are currently a bleeding island in a sea of terrible things.</p><p>Does anybody remember when workers and farmers literally died to remove the yoke of banks and capitalists. They formed the DFL.

Veirling | #MMIWG #LandBack<p>It's been beyond horrible to watch some of the great social bastions of my youth, one by one, fall to proto-fascism. Wisconsin, prime example. People haven't studied the history so no idea what was lost there.</p><p>Which brings me to MN. Oh, yeah. Me and fam eventually rose to Garrison Keillor lib status there. A perpetual time-capsule of normalcy and nordish cultural memes to be sure. <br>1/*<br><a href="https://union.place/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://union.place/tags/Liberalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Liberalism</span></a> <a href="https://union.place/tags/WolvesAtThe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WolvesAtThe</span></a> Door <a href="https://union.place/tags/TheNormsAreGone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TheNormsAreGone</span></a> <a href="https://union.place/tags/Sentimentality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Sentimentality</span></a></p>
