I got locked out of X for posting this response to MAGA comments: “The Republicans are stealing from you.” Or “He’s stealing from you” when the comment is about Trump. Thought I’d share. Student of languages, master of none. Rogue gardener. Black&Native.

My Twitter (X) account has been flagged again for posting to MAGA that Republicans are stealing from them.

This message is the only thing I’ve ever posted that upsets them.

I’m going to keep posting it.
Maybe I can get myself banned. 😇

But it does show anti Semitism

Stories about money leave me cold.
Stats are about real people.

This has become a soulless hour of callous jokes and happy indifference. I worked on Wall Street. I’m reminded why I left.

Love to see an American woman receive this honor. Just wonderful. ❤️

Perfect response to a foolish and condescending question.

Mar Vista Writer @marvistawriter.bsky.social · 1d

Of course this is not the United States we want, what a foolish question. Which is why we’re always working toward, as President Obama would remind us, a more perfect union.

The trick is to get The Heritage Foundation upset at him.

They’re all thieves in one way or another.

People actually thought this ridiculous stunt of hugging the flag was patriotic.

Unless there’s a recall option, we’re stuck with them. This is why media lies are so dangerous. Because we have to depend on voters to choose wisely. Something they haven’t been doing routinely.

That’s another possibility. Japan controls CEO pay, so there are definitely ways to do it.

Mar Vista Writer @marvistawriter.bsky.social · 2d

Salary caps on executive pay, campaign contribution limits, tax reform with proportional rates — we’ve passed laws like this before. We’ve had such egregious legislative failures, we’ve forgotten what funding the commons feels like. We could add measures like this to the Constitution — if we could.

To go after people who hurt his widdy feefees.

Paid weekly only for the weeks they’re in session. Like regular working people.

Mar Vista Writer @marvistawriter.bsky.social · 2d

I think people believe what they want to believe. It’s hard to get them to believe something else.

He shouldn’t.

Mar Vista Writer @marvistawriter.bsky.social · 2d

Never argue.
Too many people are addicted to it.

Mar Vista Writer @marvistawriter.bsky.social · 2d

Then we better start working on a counter strategy sooner rather than later.

The press has been failing us since Nixon.

Mar Vista Writer @marvistawriter.bsky.social · 2d

I’m wasting my time with you.
You can go.

The word Entitlement means we are ENTITLED to those payments. Don’t let Republicans change the meaning of that word.

You can’t pick a fight with me. I know what happened in Israel. I know Hamas is a war criminal. You’re avoiding the subject.

Mar Vista Writer @marvistawriter.bsky.social · 2d

Of course. No one is arguing about that.
You want to pick a fight? Do better.

Mar Vista Writer @marvistawriter.bsky.social · 2d

I think you know the situation is very complicated in terms of attacks on Gaza civilians.

Mar Vista Writer @marvistawriter.bsky.social · 2d

Actually no.
It was born out of the wealthy trying to protect their wealth.

Nevertheless they came up with something worthwhile.
