California-born, perpetually pissed. Progressive, anti-fascist, and allergic to billionaire BS. Trump’s a menace, Elon’s a Wi-Fi clown, and society’s circling the drain—unless we fight. Question everything, accept nothing, never settle for decline.

F America right now.

We are the rope.
We are the ring.
We are the people.
We still have time to rise.
Not alone.
Together.

We may never be remembered. But someone, someday, will live freer, love louder, and breathe easier—because we held the line.

Use that ring to lift others. To encircle darkness and contain it. To pass it on, not keep it.

It’s not just power. It’s a test. Will you use it to surround and smother hate? Or to hoard it for yourself?

America is the brass ring. We chase it. Grab it. And when it’s in our hand, we have to ask: What does it mean?

Some of us may pay a price. But if that price gives someone else a better tomorrow—it’s worth it. That’s the point of sacrifice. Of legacy.

We must draw a line in the sand. And dare racism, misogyny, hatred, greed, and cruelty to cross it. And when they do, we give no quarter.

That’s the spirit we need now. To choose unity. To stand together. Not because it’s easy—but because it’s right.

Unity is where strength lives. Not ego. Not fame. But us—together. That’s how our military works: no one left behind. No one stands alone.

Behind every “self-made” success is a community. Native Americans. Craftsmen. Porters. Neighbors. Guides. People who showed up and made survival possible.

They told us America was built by the “rugged individual.” But that’s a lie. No one builds anything alone. Not then, not now.

Not blind hope. Not false optimism. The real kind—earned in pain, forged in struggle, kept alive by those who refuse to quit. That kind of hope still lives in us.

Progressive Democrats have fought for human rights, and that’s not up for debate. It seems like you’re just trying to score social media points with virtue signaling, but that’s not going to change the fact. This isn’t a game for likes it’s about real action, not trying to build an online following.

You want to talk ethnic cleansing? Trump literally proposed removing every man, woman, and child from Gaza to turn it into a resort. That’s worse than any Democrat’s ‘wet dream.’ Biden at least brokered a ceasefire. Not perfect, but between the two, the choice was clear.

Harris didn’t need to prove she'd work for peace—she already did. She backed diplomacy, a two-state solution, and as VP helped broker a ceasefire. That’s proof. You backed Trump, who greenlit ethnic cleansing. Now Gaza burns, and you're scrambling to justify your failure. Own it.
comment in response to

Oh, we get democracy—including your right to vote or not. But bad choices have consequences. Sitting out helped put Trump back in power, and now he's enabling ethnic cleansing in Gaza. You don’t get to dodge responsibility just because you technically had the right to choose poorly.

Blocking is the wise move, but this guy is basically a bootleg debate simulator—buggy, stuck on repeat, and allergic to facts. It’s a great way to test my fact-checking skills before I upgrade to real opponents. One day, I’ll quit this side quest, but for now, I’m grinding XP.

Biden may have repeated bad intel, but he also helped secure a ceasefire before leaving office. Meanwhile, 62 were massacred in Kfar Aza on Oct 7. Sitting out the election handed Trump the win—now violence is worse. I don’t support violence, but ignoring reality doesn’t stop it.
comment in response to
post
I don’t support violence against anyone. Biden helped facilitate a ceasefire before leaving office, creating a chance for peace. You protested instead of voting, helped Trump win, and now Palestinians are worse off. Next time, vote like lives depend on it—because they do.

"Debunked? Hardly. Survivor testimonies, UN reports, and forensic evidence confirm Hamas committed rape & sexual violence on Oct 7 and in captivity. Some early reports were shaky, but the core truth remains: it happened. Gaslighting survivors won’t change that.

Harris never called Arabs "rapists," and she never gave Netanyahu a "blank check" or a "free hand." If you have to make things up, maybe your argument isn't as strong as you think.

COVID policies were about public health in a crisis. Gender-affirming care is a personal choice. Moving the goalposts here is a logical fallacy. Stick to the facts.

Puberty blockers are reversible, and while hormone therapy can have lasting effects, it is carefully monitored. Surgery is not performed on minors without parental consent. The claim that children are secretly undergoing life-changing medical procedures without oversight is simply false.

Oh no, a woman dared to have a thought that didn’t stroke your fragile little ego? Quick, call the misogyny police! News flash: Disagreeing with you doesn’t make someone a ‘man-hater’—it just makes you a whiny little bitch.

Oh, so now a global pandemic that killed millions is the same as an individual’s private medical decision? COVID policies were about public health—stopping mass death and hospital collapses. Gender-affirming care affects no one but the person receiving it. False equivalence much?

If my child felt they couldn’t come to me about something this life-altering, that says more about my parenting than any law. If a kid seeks medical care in secret, the issue isn’t just the system—it’s the home environment that made them feel they had to.
comment in response to
post
Appreciate the concern, but I’m based in the U.S., not Canada. And for the record, Oregon is the only state where minors (15-17) can access gender-affirming care without parental consent. Everywhere else, parental involvement is required. Let’s keep the discussion grounded in facts.

Some people do prefer rural life—cool, no one’s stopping them. But car-centric suburbs weren’t just a 'free choice'; they were built on zoning laws, subsidies & lobbying. And nobody’s banning cars, just asking why they have to run on gasoline when better options exist.
comment in response to
post
People loved landlines until cell phones got cheaper. Same with car-centric suburbs—zoning & subsidies made them the default. Now, solar is the fastest-growing energy source, beating coal, gas & oil. People don’t pick the 'future'—they pick what’s cheaper. And walking beats car costs.

U.S. allies are now considering cutting back intel sharing because they’re worried Trump might leak it to Russia. Imagine being so compromised that the Five Eyes are side-eyeing you. But sure, tell me more about 'America First' while handing Putin a gift-wrapped security briefing. #FuckTrump

People 'love' car-centric living the way fish 'love' water—because it's all they've known. Cities like Amsterdam & Paris prove that when walkability & transit are prioritized, people embrace them. If the U.S. made that choice, you'd see how many actually prefer it.

Real steps to lasting peace?" Pretty sure step one is turning Russia into a smoking crater. Step two is making sure they stay there. Zelenskyy’s just being polite about it. #FuckTrump

Zelensky was warned not to contradict Trump. Then he walked into the Oval Office, got yelled at and disrespected by Trump and JD Vance, and still didn’t strangle anyone. The sheer size of this man’s balls deserves its own monument.

Every time I see one of these red dodgeballs, I can’t help but think of Trump’s head—empty, full of air, and making that same bonnnng sound when it smacks into reality.

No one has the right to come between a parent and their child’s medical care. If a doctor, the child, and the parent agree, that’s it. Imagine being told you can’t vaccinate your kid or treat their cancer. Step between me and my kid, and you're gambling with your life.

True, but let’s be honest—Canada would still apologize after landing the knockout punch… then help Goliath up, offer him a beer, and remind everyone that respect and strength go hand in hand. That’s just how Canada rolls. #FuckTrump

I realized this as a survivor of a carjacking, kidnapping & assault at gunpoint.
I had this middle class suburban smart kid’s
idea that I could talk my way out of anything.
You can’t talk a shark out of eating you - but you CAN punch him in the eye.
