I enjoy the visual arts, music, guitar playing, resisting fascism, and meloxicam. Humanist, skeptic, freethinker, atheist. Woke AF.

DMing me gets you blocked.
As I predicted: all along this has just been a ruse to move from a progressive income tax that protects the most vulnerable to a flat tax that gives billionaires even more of a break. If this goes down, we best be ready to take it to the streets, and unlike Democrats, by all necessary means.

So, it seems the anti-autism crusader may actually be causing autism. How's that workin' for ya, cultists?
NEW: A Harvard study found that the children of women who contracted COVID-19 while pregnant may be at an increased risk for autism and other neurodevelopmental diagnoses, raising new concerns about the CDC’s decision to stop recommending the vaccine to pregnant women.

Here's why the Republican wing of the Democratic Party

(far larger than the handful of traitors chosen to vote with the fascists)

threw millions of Americans under the bus by agreeing to throw them under the bus again later.

All the filthy fascist-adjacent stooges must be purged from the party.

Hey, Christofascists, your boy is a pedo in addition to being a treasonous insurrectionist and multiple felon.

Expect the "pious" to crow that we're all sinners and that he's redeemed himself somehow.

Hey, Chuck "The Fuck" Schumer? Thanks for making it clear that "blue no matter who" has always been a joke.

In keeping with your example, if you are still the Democratic Leader in the Senate next election, I will NOT VOTE FOR ANY DEMOCRATS, and won't until your withered corporatist ass is GONE.

When will America's most prominent news media tell it like it is?

Answer: NEVER. They're owned by the beneficiaries, and earn their ad revenue from other beneficiaries. The working poor who suffer the most have no leverage, and can only consume what they're given.

Yeah, if only this fossil's campaign staff knew about social media, he'd have beat him like a rug. This freakazoid Cuomo is one major league deluded prick.

Then again, I suppose he couldn't admit he's been corrupted by big shot money like most do-nothing "liberal" Democrats, now, could he?
Cuomo, the man who resigned in disgrace after a state attorney general’s report found that he had sexually harassed nearly a dozen women, was asked if he had any regrets.

He said he regretted not being better at social media.

REBUKE! May you send the servants of the fascist oligarchy running on a bipartisan basis.

To Schumer, Jeffries, Obama, Clinton, and the rest of the anti-democracy wing of the Democratic Party: fuck you.
You had every chance in the world to stem the rise of fascism and failed, because you're too addicted to bribes.

The chickens now roost in New York City. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Chimps can change beliefs based on new evidence. MAGA cultists prove every day that they are incapable of it.

Draw your own conclusions.

As I watch Illinois state police brutalize protesters while clearing the street well in advance of the 6PM executive order curfew, Pritzker says the SP are there to protect protesters. That a big fat lie from a big fat billionaire.

This guy thinks he's running for President.

Fuck Prickster.

"While everyone has focused on the superficial culture wars, Koch has been promoting laissez faire economics, deregulation and income inequality. ...The main impact of the revolt of the rich was to make the United States a far less democratic country."

So, the American people had something approaching $1.2T in tax increases, a flat tax hitting the poorest the hardest. And the Democrats are TOTALLY ABSENT AS USUAL. Co-conspiratorial, in my view. They must want us to pay for the tax cuts for their billionaire benefactors as much as Trump does.
