Pride begins today. I am a 65-year old asexual transwoman in a stable polyamory that has lasted 40 years. I am Queer as fuck and I am intensely proud of that fact. And the Pride flag is the only flag I would willingly salute anymore.

It isn't Trump, dammit! It is republicanism. It is the republican party being complicit and violating their oaths of office. Trump could not do anything without the republicans choosing to do his bidding, choosing to enable him. You must end the republican party for America to live.

"It is an unavoidable fact of life that if you care about anything, deeply and passionately, you are cringe. So embrace it." - John DeVore, culture writer and author, 2025

I am embarrassed to be an American citizen. As anyone should be, right now.

The conservatives of the supreme court are willingly making Trump into a literal king, a dictator above all law or constraint. The Trump-appointed members of the supreme court have betrayed the united states and the constitution entirely. They are the enablers of tyranny; traitors to America.

On May 6, SCOTUS upheld Trump’s ban that demands the discharge and forced mass removal of all transgender troops. Fuck Memorial Day. Fuck the illegitimate supreme court. Fuck the spineless military that fails to uphold their oath to protect us against all domestic enemies. Fuck the traitor Trump.

I now understand how the ordinary citizen in Nazi Germany felt. The helplessness. The despair. Expecting revolt that never comes. One day, America will be looked on with the same revulsion as history still holds for the historical Germany; future people will be disgusted by us, in the very same way.

The issue of universal medical care is so incredibly difficult that out of 74 developed nations, only 73 have achieved it. That leaves only America as the only developed nation without it.

The 'Big Beautiful Bill', if it passes, has a clause that will make Trump absolutely protected from any legal effort to remove him or limit him in any way. He will literally become an absolute ruler - a legal dictator. No law could touch him. If that happens, your only recourse will be civil war.

“We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.” - Ursula Le Guin, 2014

bsky.app/profile/sass... This absolutely nails the solution. But, as I look to American leaders, officials, lawyers, bankers, generals, soldiers, doctors, scientists, media and reporters, and especially law enforcement of all kinds, I keep waiting. Waiting for the US to not mirror Nazi Germany.

Global warming, mass extinctions, America is a fascist dictatorship, The UK is increasingly fascist, over 100 wars rage, many with child soldiers, genocide and atrocities, and the Nuclear Clock stands at 89 Seconds. If anyone calls you a misanthrope, as if that were wrong or bad, they are an idiot.

As always, until someone - military, police, or citizen - is willing to actually march up to Trump and arrest him by any means necessary, the Constitution of the United States is utterly dead. The United States is dead, and we are living in an actual dictatorship. This is the fact of our time.
