I'm a NW Queer woman experiencing life at 66 but ready to fight for the future we all deserve. We should have a society without homelessness and without hunger where people can realize their potential for art and science and caregiveing. 💙🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇨🇦🇺🇲🌎🏔🔥🦄💙💙

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

I am often asked what laws I would recommend blue states adopt. While there is no one-size-fits-all approach, there are seven changes every state could adopt right now, for virtually no cost or administrative burden. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/seve...

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's son was pulled over by ICE and forced to prove he is an American.

Two options:

1) ICE deliberately targeted him.

2) ICE is stopping all non-White people without any probable cause and forcing them to prove they are citizens.

Hard to say which option is scarier.

"I was never on Epstein's plane."
~Donald J Trump, January 2024

That's odd, because according to the flight logs, he was on Jeffrey's plane SEVEN TIMES. And now some of the newly released Epstein photos are showing Trump on that plane.

What to believe, what to believe?

I know I'm failing. I knows it's my job to have the words, but I don't. Rob and Michelle Reiner's passing is tragedy enough, but the revelations about how they passed and who likely killed them is too much. I'm stunned and just want to hug the entire world right now. Be well, goodnight.

To hell with them! There could not be greater reasons to impeach. This is unacceptable.
25 Dems voted against his impeachment

The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution is not, nor has it ever been intended as a license to commit mass murder. We must elect Democratic candidates, who will enact sensible gun safety laws. The radical Republican right has sold their soul to the NRA.

Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

“Post-liberalism” means two things:

1) I like the fascism, but I don’t think of myself as the sort of person who’d be into something so uncouth.

2) The woke made me do it, but since everyone’s opposed to liberty now, why don’t we acknowledge that some races, genders, and religions are lesser.

Fuck YES! And to the fuckers saying it’s political, it’s not. It’s about people having the freedom to be themselves & celebrate who they are. You’re going to be in Seattle during Pride, why did you expect? 🤭🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

I understand that a lot of folks have been misled by fear-mongering and powerful regressive voices but it’s still astonishing to me that so many have fallen for the idea that oppressively policing other people’s gender identity and expression could in any way be part of an enlightened future.

30+ books into my career... and I'm just now discovering my happy place is writing masculine men exposing vulnerability. It's emotionally exhausting, but damn... this makes me happy. Can't wait to put this into the world...

IT'S ALSO TRUE - as Hitler, Putin/KGB/FSB and all Fascists know - that any "religious"/Abrahamic Cults - once having relinquished logic, reason, facts, science, for superstition, dogma, fear of the "after-life"- are PRIME to manipulation with all manner of "faith based" Appeal to Ignorance Big Lies.
