Run on that ⬇️. And stop acting like #socialism is the devil, it makes your corporate strings show.
Get #progressive or get lost.
The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet.

Run on *that*

Humans aren’t illegal. Dehumanizing people should be.

Spectacular!
Happy holidays to ALL and #fuckice
Home Depot wanted holiday cheer, got a whole-ass choir calling out their partnership with ICE instead…

I hope today that no one goes hungry. I know it won’t happen and it breaks my heart but I wish so much I had more so I could give more because it feels like that’s the only way things will ever get better. I hope for abundance for all and justice to those that greedily steal from others.
Combatting poverty and hunger in this city will take every single one of us. Myself included.

Said it before and I’ll say it again… there are two type of people: those that skip the #strangersthings opening… and those that love a good synth beat no matter how many times they hear it.

This is an actual article from the associated press and the title is utter perfection:

#happyholidays y’all!
Here's a strategy to get through stressful holiday gatherings. Act like a dull rock
“Gray rocking” might be one technique for getting through stressful holiday gatherings. You make yourself as boring as possible to discourage unwelcome conversations.

SPECTACULAR shade! Well done Manuela!
#bolsonaro will die in prison.
Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

Everything #SenatorKelly said is fact. You can refuse an order EVEN if you think it’s unlawful but are unsure. You are allowed to challenge your orders on this basis. The military only punishes refusal of carrying out lawful orders. The #pentagon will get laughed out of court on this one.

In an era filled with tech dipshits who never developed emotionally past the age of 13 & use their wealth to become odious monsters ...

... listen to Steve Wozniak.

Words cannot describe how furious I am as a #uscg veteran learning what the current command did today.
The swastika is a hate symbol through and through.
This is a hideous, pig-headed, fascist move that will haunt them.
What a shameful day.
“At a time when antisemitism is rising in the United States and around the world, relaxing policies aimed at fighting hate crimes not only sends the wrong message to the men and women of our Coast Guard, but it puts their safety at risk,” Senator Jackie Rosen said in a statement.
“Instead, the Coast Guard will classify the Nazi-era insignia as “potentially divisive” under its new guidelines.”
But no, America doesn’t have a Nazi problem. Maybe I’m just too sensitive. 🤬🤬 (Gift link):

#fuckice these assholes are going to kill innocent people. Time to #abolishice and dissolve homeland security.

#filmsky if you have not seen Movies with Mikey, y’all are missing out. He always has great takes. And I needed this after a shit day in film school, I turned in work that wasn’t great and I was bummed out. Mikey says it perfectly, to live is to fail.
Made me want to try again.
Thanks Mikey!

They were children.
Fuck the monsters that did this and fuck the ones that covered it up.
Release the fucking #epstein files
NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.
November 17, 2025 at 1:44 AM
My thoughts while high:
Leaf blowers should be fucking illegal.
November 15, 2025 at 11:03 PM
Because the #whitehouae and #doj are so stupidly corrupt they don’t realize that this allows all parties to make the #epstein files discovery… and thus public.
Fucking corrupt idiots.
In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.

Y’all need to watch this.
Genuinely sorry to hear of his passing.

Get #progressive and wake up you capitalist stooges.

To those that support this bullshit deal.
Fuck you.
You’re the reason you lose always.
Enjoy your fucking primaries you milquetoast, spineless cowards.

"Is there a more feckless, spineless opposition party anywhere in the democratic world? Why do Democrats insist on repeatedly snatching defeat from the jaws of victory?"

Fuck the #gop and their #governmentshutdown
Every #pilot, every #tsa agent, every essential employee should #walkout now. They can’t replace all of you. Everything would grind to a halt and then those fucks in #DC would see how little power they actually have.

Happy #caturday
Queen Mab would like to remind you that #snap benefits have been sent out uninterrupted for 60 years. Until today. When the 🍊🤡 filed an appeal to not feed starving Americans… After sending 40 billion to Argentina. All during a shutdown to keep the #epstein files locked away.
