Red hair, green eyes, big blue heart. Oft called a "fearless badass" by those who know. I fix things - big things. Absolutely incorruptible. Love love, truth, animals, nature, and the good in humanity. Oh, and justice. Did I mention justice? #Democracy

Brown rejects the compact!

President Paxson’s letter references the views of stakeholders - & I know as an alum how activated the Brown community was while the school considered its response - an important reminder of how much organizing matters

Tanking the economy. Destroying the government. We need to be "very aggressive" with tanking him. Destroying him.

On the Charlie Kirk show, Vought said federal firings could hit “north of 10,000” during the shutdown.

Companies lay people off to survive. This is different. He sounded like he’s enjoying the chance to fast-track his agenda. This isn’t about saving money, it’s about sabotaging the government.

There should be a worldwide media boycott against trump & his administration. Only broadcast the terror, havoc, corruption, destruction, chaos that the authoritarian regime is inflicting on the American people, against allies, against democracy & America government. Boycott

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

All the problems are here. All the solutions are here. We think of the inadequacy of what we alone can do. Our biggest problem is that we've been taught to think of ourselves as individuals pitted against each other. We must change our mindset: we are populations and societies that cooperate.

I think it has been bubbling below the surface for a long time now. We've turned a blind eye to it. Now we're fucked. And all there's left to do is fight. This is our moment in history of this fragile country. We coasted - now we're paying. It sucks.

Another $20 billion. That is the face you make when you heist the US taxpayers for $40 billion two weeks before your midterm elections from the most corrupt America Last regime in history.

The plan to force taxpayers to cover emergency medical costs for non-citizens is a law called EMTALA: signed into law by the infamous democrat Ronald Reagan.

No Department of Justice. No Supreme Court. We cannot count on these people to uphold any semblance of the rule of law. We are headed to revolution. It starts on Saturday. #NoKings #NoRobberBarons
