Loving the hypocrisy of white Christian supremacists ringing Islamophobic alarm bells over Zohran Mamdani because he’s Muslim as they continue to turn the U.S. into a Christian theocracy with the help of the Supreme Court.

I survived cancer. But now I’m watching a different kind of sickness spread—cruelty, injustice, hate. I was ready to become a citizen. But I won’t join a country I’m not proud of. I’m still healing—just not the way I thought. #ChangedMyMind #TransVoicesMatter #StillHealing #PrideIsPolitical

🧵1/ Let’s talk about democracy and why just having elections doesn’t mean a country is truly democratic. We built our own tool to measure it: 🔹 The People’s Democracy Index (PDI) Not just ballots. We measure rights, dignity, and access.

The francolin struts with purpose. The wildebeest stands like an ancient sentinel. And the rhinos? Unbothered. Unmatched. Unmoved. 📷 Taken in South Africa, wild, raw, and breathtakingly real. #WildlifePhotography #SouthAfrica #Francolin #Wildebeest #Rhino #NatureIsHome #PhotographyForTheSoul

The knee braces I have for preorder are better quality than some medical grade ones!! I've bought some from my physiotherapist that were 3 times more expensive and they weren't as good as these ones. And they were solid Black. So check them out! They should arrive to me in July!

Moved to America so my soul could erode one civil liberty at a time. Living the dystopian dream.

Every time someone says the U.S. is the greatest democracy in the world, I remember what Trump once called South Africa. …and yet here’s a country where democracy’s crumbling, civil liberties are under siege, and half the population still can’t vote with ease. So, who’s living in a real dump again?

I literally wrote to you and Senator Warren about this. Thank you for speaking up—this bill would devastate people like me and my wife. We need leaders who protect people, not profit. Please keep fighting. 💙

A tender moment between elephants. A bird surveying its kingdom from a wooden throne. Wild South Africa doesn’t whisper peace, it shows it, boldly and beautifully. #WildlifeWonder #QueerInTheWild #TransTravels #SouthAfrica #NatureLover #ElephantsOfAfrica #Francolin #BirdJoy #PhotographyForTheSoul

This is the test we keep failing. Civilization isn’t about tech or towers, it’s about how we treat each other. Rights. Dignity. Humanity. Until everyone’s humanity is honored, we’re just pretending. #HumanRights #JusticeForAll #EqualityMatters #CivilRights #InclusiveDemocracy #SocialJustice
