DO NOT FOLLOW ME if you don’t think Antifa is good.

I am proudly Antifa - If it was an organisation, I’d probably be the President of a Chapter.

Antifa is AntiFascism. Fascism is evil. End of story. Not open for discussion.

If you are not anti fascism you’re on the wrong side of history.

Exodus 8:2-6
"But if you refuse to let them go, I will plague your whole country with frogs...
The frogs shall come up on you and on your people and on all your officials."

I don’t know what it is but I really am uncomfortable about the phrase “cracked and packed” when talking about voting rights/maps/districts etc

I’d argue it’s accountability - you already purchased your two year pin so by golly, you will hold yourself accountable to make it. I have faith! You got this!

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

They do realize that circumcision rates are falling outside of religious confines, and, ya know, girls don’t get routinely circumcised so how do you explain autism in them? What an idiot RFK is

Maybe he needs better staff because I have a feeling he doesn’t write all of his own posts etc

That feeling when your kid uses the same intro for extemporaneous current event speeches in his debate program that you used and taught him from thirty years ago. #proudmom

No. Not at all. But our state leaders are terrifyingly nonchalant when doing illegal things.

Weird how Antifa never asks me for money. Everyone else does, but Antifa is very quiet.
