Every time someone tries to justify anti-trans stuff, they always talk about "protecting girls and women" from "men pretending to be women", never is it the opposite. It's like they want to admit that the real threat is men but can't bring themselves to say it. #transrightsarehumanrights

Republicans: "I know your upset about the DOGE cuts, but wait until they audit the DoD." Republicans: All but one voted for the House budget bill, which includes an increase in defense spending. #House #budget #DOGE #delusional

I am neither a fascist nor a socialist, but if you make me choose between the two, I'm going to pick socialism every day and twice on Sunday.

America: Weaker, Dumber, Poorer.

I've been in the workforce for about 30 years. That means for 30 years, I've been paying into Social Security and Medicare as a loan so that when I need it the money, it will be there. If they want to destroy those, they can pay me the 100K I've loaned them (plus interest). Oh, my employers, too.

We can’t say this enough: When people in Trump‘s orbit deliberately lie about how our constitutional democracy works, they violate the oaths they take to uphold the law. & they violate the trust the American people place in them.

“Be careful. When a democracy is sick, fascism comes to its bedside, but it is not to inquire about its health.” Albert Camus

After all these years, I finally understand why Rage Against the Machine was so angry.

I respect women all over the world
