Random words that identify me as knowing who I am, with some whimsy thrown in so I don't seem too pretentious. Description enthusiast. Love interesting stuff. Don't like boring stuff. And so on and so on.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.
