BTW,

I follow artists, journalists, scientists, and really any cool folk.

Because I’m hopeful and curious I do sometimes follow people who aren’t as left.

I’m an inconsistent poster.

I’m just an unknown artist who reflects on history, family, and the absurdity of horrors we all live in.

Will never forget getting home from studying one night in 2000. My housemates were watching Fox and Ed says, "We never went to the moon!"

I just went to the kitchen and made dinner and went to bed. My bad! Never giving this kind of BS a pass again

We don't cast off one segment of society to save ourselves. It's a betrayal of everything we're trying to defend. It's a cowardly kind of self-preservation.

If your plan for escaping this bank robbery involves deliberately killing a few of our fellow hostages, maybe sit this chat out for a while?
This is why Gavin Newsom is a non-starter for me.

Sure, he's "a fighter" who's landed a few good punches on Trump, but that's not the same thing as a leader.

A real leader doesn't fight back against an authoritarian takeover by using the most vulnerable as his shield.
I keep seeing people say, oh, trans people must take a hit for the greater good and, first of all, no, you don't get to discard someone else's rights and second, we know from past experience that marginalized communities like theirs are merely the first to be targeted. They'll come for you next.

The greater good is served when human rights aren't up for debate.

More than that. Just two days ago in an interview he said he supports Republicans changing California state law to repeal anti-discrimination protections that Democrats passed for trans people so that he can ban them from sports.

Human rights for all human beings — a conviction with which I will not compromise. Dems need to find this conviction & never let it go.

Dr. Kruse, I am not surprised that you support Trans folks, but seeing someone of your social magnitude support the Trans community is always such a massive relief. Things are getting scary for our Trans siblings. Thank you for continuing to fight for ALL of us b/c none of us should be left behind.🏳️‍⚧️

The greater good includes trans people. They too must enjoy the greater good. There is no greater good if one or more groups are excluded and suffer for the majority to enjoy it.

Remember when Trump framed the “trans issue” as protecting women’s sports, and Dems tried to split the baby on an actual policy, pissing off everyone?

Trump was always going to try to eliminate trans people from existing.

Don’t try to be reasonable with morons.

Hi, trans person here. I don't want to be a "sacrifice." I just want to live my life with dignity. I don't think that's too much to ask.

Not on trans rights he’s not. We have been relentlessly promoting better candidates (literally all of them; AOC, Bashear, Pritzker) but the pro-Newsom right wing army attacks any time we do.

I've decided to re-launch my Patreon. I'm currently working on my next graphic novel so I'll be sharing progress there, and I'll also be restarting my risograph print club. I now have access to a risograph duplicator so I can more reliably and affordably print!

Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

New images show the swaths of destruction across Jamaica left by Hurricane Melissa, from roofs completely ripped off homes to entire towns flooded. The storm also slammed Cuba, which suffered flash flooding, and Haiti where the government is reporting more than 20 deaths.

For real, if anyone has any doubts about whether capitalism is driving us towards actual fascism, look at what they’re saying openly and out loud. It’s not tin hat. This is the enemy of people, citizens, democracy and decency
