I believe in: - The Constitution of the United States of America. - The separation of church & state. A reluctant activist - I'm too old for this shit but here we are. Just wanted to have a peaceful & quiet life. Couldn't stand by the sidelines anymore.

Adelita Grijalva won her election 19 days ago and she still hasn’t been sworn in.

The government has been shut down for 12 days with no end in sight.

They can stall as long as they want but the Epstein files ain’t going away.

Do you know what you are doing on Saturday, October 18?

If the answer is no, you are deserving of nonlethal, but firm slap. #NoKings

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

Yesterday I was told that the class I’m scheduled to teach this month, Confronting Oppression & Injustice, is no longer part of our curriculum. This is a required class yet there was no discussion, no faculty vote, just an email saying the class no longer exists. This is what it’s like in Texas now.

One evil man who murders civilians from his own and other countries consoles another evil man who murders civilians from his own and other countries for not getting an award for which neither evil man is even remotely deserving.

A religion that requires
the strong-arm
of the state to
ram its views
down the throats
of unwilling people
is a religion that
isn't worth
a damn.

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

It's wild that we've reached a point where the President openly admits to firing people for political reasons, and his OMB director tweets about it like it's a victory. This is page one of the authoritarian playbook, happening in plain sight.

“No, Speaker Johnson — the No Kings rally on October 18 is not a hate America rally. In fact, it’s quite the contrary: It’s a love America rally.” #NoKings

It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters.

And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!

An anonymous trader made a fast $88 million by shorting Bitcoin.

The trader made the bet that Bitcoin would plummet in value on Friday after opening their account “30 minutes before Trump’s announcement of 100% tariffs on China."

Not suspicious at all, right?

Simply & positively outrageous. But you know, everything has a dollar amount attached to it and you probably don’t have to dig too far to figure that out.
