If the US government requires passports for you to practice your rights such as voting then passports should be provided for free to all and within a reasonable timeframe by said government.

NYE 2019, my partner and I hosted a Roaring 20s party. Everyone came dressed to the 9s, and I loudly put the wish out into the universe that 1920s fashion would return in the 2020s, but without all of the other bullshit of the 1920s. Turns out, the universe is a giant monkey's paw. I'm sorry.

It’s a recalibration of economic control. Oligarchs don’t live paycheck to paycheck. They have the capital to buy market dips and recoup faster, acquiring more assets at fire sale prices along the way. When the dust finally settles, they will own more. The rest of us will own less. A lot less.

The biggest thing we need to do is let people know that the protests are FUN. Yelling fuck the man is fun. You will meet fun people. We also need to make them more fun. Bring grills like the French. Bring instruments like it’s Mardi Gras. Give people a reason to spend their weekend in the streets.

I marched in a big city today, depicted in photos by an indistinguishable sea of people, which has beauty in its magnitude. Our small town protesters, though, rallied while their actual neighbors, relatives, grocery clerks, and co-workers drove by and saw them. That’s how we change hearts and minds.

Protests being cringe is fine. South Korea just threw out their right wing president and their protests are full of families, glow sticks, goofy flags, free iced coffee, and K-pop. It's the numbers that matter.

Ohh "America First" was a hit list

Crashing the economy is part of creating network states and switching our currency to crypto. Long game. It’s about making you a techno-serf.

If Disney wants to make sure their movies aren’t affected by their actors’ political views they should consider making a Snow White and The Seven Dwarves cartoon

A group of men violently assaulted a transgender veteran in Seattle walking home from work. They cited Trump's trans military ban as they beat her. One of the perpetrators was already wanted for domestic violence and was previously charged with a hate crime. www.thestranger.com/news/2025/03...

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

The Trump regime will round you up off the street and arrest you because you spoke your mind. And federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars who refuse to identify themselves will be the ones to do it. It's fascism. Call it what it is.

I've started to realize that Anne Frank and her family wouldn't have been safe around a lot of people I know and loved and once respected. That's not something you get over.

Hey, an occasional reminder: Should you be fighting fascism here in the US? Yes, you should! Are you the one who decides how best you can do that? Yes, you are! Should the people who decide that you're not doing it right (i.e., the way they want you to) fuck off into the sun? Yes, they should!

Schoolchildren are routinely slaughtered by AR-15s. Hundreds die. [*crickets* "Thoughts and prayers" *crickets*] A couple unoccupied cars are set on fire. No one is hurt. ["THIS HORROR WILL NOT STAND!!! We MUST act to STOP it from ever happening AGAIN!!!!" We will pass new LAWS BANNING IT!!!]

We need a season of "Hoarders: Billionaire Edition" where a team of experts help the uber-rich clean out their bank accounts and live more productive, fulfilling lives.

Pence had more balls than Schumer.

You ever notice how people who say the tariffs will cause "some disturbances" and "some discomfort" are people with a net worth in millions and billions WHO WILL NEVER FEEL THE FUCKING PAIN? YOU will feel it. I will feel it. But our pain is a sacrifice they're willing to make.
