No DMs! 🏳️‍🌈 novelist: #LOL #Alcoholiday #PlatosLocker INTJ irl; mouthy AF on here. I probably wouldn't follow me. I am a college-educated, blue-collar bear. My arts reflect my politics, so expect a LOT of political comment on this account.

I don't ask vegans to send me Omaha Steaks, so don't ask ME to support people and things I've told you I can't and won't support.

Feb 2022 DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISTS OPPOSED NATO "The left-wing group Democratic Socialists of America has been under fire over the weekend after calling for the dissolution of NATO's Western alliance and blaming the United States' 'imperialist expansionism' for Russia's unprovoked attack on Ukraine."

It’s also worth remembering how little interest media has had for covering Democrats in the last decade, when you want to yell at Dems about press conferences.

The only rationalization for saying Hamas' Crimes Against Humanity don't make them the bad guys is -- if you don't consider Jews to be human! And dehumanization IS GENOCIDE.

In 2016, as a Dem unaccustomed to getting my first choice, I preferred to post only against Trump. At which time, Person 2 was MAGA, demanding I like Trump. Only after Bernie hung on after math eliminated him did I spoke facts about Bernie, at which point Bernie Bros exposed themselves as Blue MAGA.

The pro-NRA, F35 guy isn't worried about lowering the military BUDGET. Like Trump, Bernie Sanders is just trying to return Russia's support, weakening the US specifically, and NATO generally, so Putin can do to our "identity politics" "distraction" what he did to Pussy Riot.

Always remember: the "death penalty" is just a really, really, REALLY "late term abortion."

Metro LA: 12.9 million people Bernie Sanders' biggest rally to date: 0.2% of residents in the area. For comparison, LA's SoFi Stadium holds up to three times the size of Bernie's biggest rally for its concerts. People have to actually pay money to attend those concerts. Metallica for President?

If it's only wrong when X does it, you're a hypocrite. You're allowed to be. But don't be surprised when Egalitarians for a Single Standard do not adopt your hypocritical Double Standard.

Too many act as if this is a war Israel started, instead of an ongoing #HamasHostageCrisis. Holding hostages is a hostile act, so there is no true cessation of hostilities until all the hostages are home. As well, the perpetrators must surrender for prosecution for crimes against humanity.

I would suggest listening more to the candidates who have been vindicated every day of the last decade, but if that's still too far a leap, at least stop listening to the ones who have been wrong every day of that same decade. Start with the premise: yes, Putin and Trump ARE provably genocidal.

The horseshoe is a cult. Those outside it see White Hetero Affluent (Middle Class) Male🌹MAGA and White Hetero Labor Male Original MAGA shooting themselves in the foot, then screaming in surprise at the pain. We beg them to stop shooting themselves in the foot. They reply, "Guns don't hurt people!"

BREAKING: The Houthis have just fired at Israel. That's 3 rockets yesterday morning from Hamas, one in the evening from Hamas, one earlier today from Hamas, and now one from the Houthis. But hey, how dare Israel fire during Ramadan, right?

Once upon a time, it was Scott Walker. Now it's Maria Butina, hacked Presidential elections, Ron Johnson, Kenosha's Killer Kid, and now this... We need to have a serious talk about Wisconsin.

Wait... steroids? I mean, I know everything the GOP says about Democrats has been projection, but denying gender-affirming care so you can use those steroids to transition living children into corprses...

How To Push Out A Belch, by Archie Bunkerboy.

Oh, it's a full moon! (And not the sexual euphemism.)

This is one of those clear-cut, no way to do a "Democrats should do something" story -- but, yes, if the White Populists even hear about this story, they'll find a way to "#BothSides are the same but I'm only protesting one side" this. Everything looks like a nail when all they have is a ☭

Thank you, Shannon. This paper was ruining my image of Eureka. It DID however fit my image of Manhattan and Florida. @eurekaTS #HumboldtCA

Today, as Jews around the world celebrate Passover, one of our most sacred holidays, Hamas launched three rockets from Gaza into southern Israel. To all who demanded a ceasefire for Ramadan: Where are you now? Why is your outrage always so selective?

I have this personal theory... Let's celebrate Democrats doing the work, WITHOUT turning it into American Idol. The thing I like about Dems is, we have a DEEP talent pool -- and plenty of GOP incumbents and termed-out Dems to replace! Maybe some picks can be Governors and Senators

Worse... US voters knew that the Russian racist rapist pedophile that got into the White House in 2017 did this, got caught "losing" some of these disappeared children, and then 170 million eligible voters decided to let him personally oversee expanding the program.

If only there was some sort of international organization to take action on crimes against humanity, like hostage-taking and human trafficking.

The GOP #WarOnEaster takes a new turn. #Eggonomics

I feel like, the most marginalized people on the planet spent 2024 doing the Ice Bucket Challenge just to get US voters to give a damn, and 170 million said, "Not enough. Now do the Tide Pod Challenge." And now they're mad because we've collectively said, "Fuck off."

170 million eligible voters supported this. Hold them accountable. Cult radicalization relies on a permission structure that we absolutely do NOT have to enable. Egalitarian progress Democrats did not "make" anyone vote for this. It was their CHOICE. They have the opportunity to choose better.
