Today I deactivated my Twitter account. I hope that today and tomorrow there will be a mass exodus from Twitter in order to send a message to Musk and Trump. Lies are not cool. Liars are not cool.

On Jan 20 we walk out everywhere.
Resistance doesn’t need permission. It needs to confront power.
A year into Trump 2.0, billionaires and big oil win.
Midterms will limit MAGA so 2026 is the cash-out.
We refuse. On Jan 20, feminists pull labor, money, consent. See you in the streets. #FreeAmerica

When are we gonna talk about how people don’t need access to drugs in order to hurt themselves trying to escape reality. When there aren’t any drugs, people drink alcohol. when there’s no alcohol people drink cough syrup, when there’s no cough syrup people sniff paint thinner… 1/2
FOX & FRIENDS: What do you say to the people waking up to this news this morning who are concerned that these actions may result in prolonged involvement of US military in Venezuela?
TRUMP: I say that what we're doing is saving lives because the drug trafficking is so bad

People will do anything to avoid the pain of this life. If you want to end drug use, you have to fight DESPAIR.
Substances are not the CAUSE of this harm.
Human suffering is.
People need housing, food, living wages, safety, community.
People need love.

I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now.
I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system.
It won't be easy, but here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people.
