Well, they do say history repeats itself.
It hurts my eyes to look at this. I think I may have gone a little overboard.

Pensions protest in London, June 2011
Please forgive me for having uploaded the Nelson Mandela Memorial photos first. But I felt this was a worthy exception to today now. I didn't see the protest until I had uploaded them.
PCS trade union members outside the Museum of Liverpool protesting over their not getting a cost of living payment from National Musuems Liverpool like so many other public servants have.
I spotted this guy on my walk around London on February 28th, 2020.
I've never attended a protest. My life and right to exist have never been threatened by the powers that be. If there was a checklist of privileges, I'd be able to tick almost every box. White, male, able-bodied, heterosexual, English-speaking, born in Canada, born into an upper-middle-class family, etc. But more and more, I've come to realize the need to protest.
To paraphrase Barack Obama, progress isn't always straightforward. Sometimes we take a giant leap backward for every few paces forward. In America right now, the Supreme Court has decided to strike down Roe vs. Wade, because they believe that women are second-class citizens.
They believe that women are second-class citizens.

In a year that's already been hard to believe (Omicron shattering records; Putin invading Ukraine; horrible inflation), Republicans have gained a victory in trying to bring America back to the stone age. And you know what? They'll succeed. They've already succeeded in disenfranchising Black people in parts of the South of their voting rights...rights that they only had for a handful of decades. They've been gerrymandering for a while. They are taking a bit-by-bit approach to take away the rights of people they don't like, rather than doing it in one big, obvious move, and that is what the Nazis did to the Jews in the years leading up to the Holocaust. It wasn't a matter of throwing open the doors to Auschwitz on opening day and telling the Jews to quit their jobs and get on the trains. The Jews had been stripped of their rights, resources, and dignity for years leading up to that point. They were deliberately weakened. Just like the Republicans are trying to do to everyone who isn't a rich white man.
It all begs the question of who the enemy is. More and more, I'm seeing that it's not so much a fixed category of people who are the enemy. It's people in power who abuse it to deliberately cause harm to segments of the population (Hitler), or who want to enrich themselves at the expense of the masses (Trump) and who want to hold onto that power forever (Putin). Authoritarians. And inconveniently, such people have historically landed all over the political spectrum.
The protestor in this picture wants to ban disposable plastics. While I think disposable plastics have some uses that (thus far) haven't been satisfactorily (I said satisfactorily) replaced by alternatives (i.e., for sanitary purposes), I do think massively reducing the amount of plastic that gets produced -- by a combination of less demand and more regulation -- is a good thing for our environment. And the environment is more important than jobs.

I looked up at my dolly shelf, and this is what I saw. Apparently, Nico found out that Tuesday may be leaving Vegas soon, and is none too pleased with me about it.
