Enraged artist. A heartfelt "Fuck You" to everyone who told me I was overreacting in November 2016.

The "Strategic Bitcoin Reserve" boils down to this: Taxpayer money is being STOLEN, without congressional approval, to artificially boost the value of a highly speculative financial asset. You can like that asset, you can dislike that asset, that's your own business. But this is open embezzlement.

Local politics can be very receptive to public voices. Few people ever just show up at meetings. Showing up is how a minority of minority (maga) took over so many local positions. And showing up and speaking out is how we take back that power.
Rep. Zooey Zephyr - My Wife - just gave an incredible speech against a drag ban in Montana. It was so strong that a Republican rose to speak passionately against the bill, chastising the sponsor.
The drag ban dies in Montana, flips 10+ Republican votes!
This is the power of representation.

🚨This is an awful, MASSIVELY suppressive voter suppression bill. We must not let it pass.

The SAVE Act Would Disenfranchise Millions of Citizens
The SAVE Act would require all Americans to prove their citizenship with documentation unavailable to millions and upend the way every American citizen registers to vote.

Here’s the beauty of all this.
The people attempting to change our Democracy believe they are above the law.
They believe they have crippled our system of justice.
If the courts hold strong, if the Justices of the Supreme Court realize the judicial system is in danger of being relegated
