Politics hasn't been this simple in a long time: do you think it's good for one man to exercise unchecked, arbitrary power or not. Those are the two available ideologies right now

More than just UBI, I think when a person is born, they should have an inheritance given to them by the government. That inheritance could be taken out as a UBI after they hit 18, or as a lump-sum after 25. Or used as collateral.

The fact he can be this blatant about his fascist ideology and his fan base can still claim, "It's not what it looks like; you libs blow everything out of proportion" is insane. We are being marched closer to a fascist run country every day, and they're denying it like a frog boiling in a pot.

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

Donald Trump should be in prison. It’s beyond a travesty of justice that we are just one week away from this orange convicted felon being on White House property again. A place he should be banned from for life. My Monday Post:

I’m old enough to remember in the 1994 Northridge earthquake that news stations like CNN had 24 hour coverage on Los Angeles. They put up resources and where people could turn to for help. None of the corporate media has any information. They want to criticize California, but not help the people. 😡🤬

A dude lives 100 years, showing and telling people to give aid and kindness to fellow humans and condemning violence. The US government: let's name an attack sub after him to (ahem) HONOR him. Whatever, man. It's not us pushing the narrative that you're all out of touch with reality. It's you.

I started HRT at 26 (in 1980) and transitioned socially at 29 (while keeping my teaching job with the Baltimore Public Schools). If I could do it in the Reagan Era, and if you are trans, you can transition, too.
