It’s about attacking trans kids.

Bank regulations exist to protect against another financial collapse. Trump’s push to kill the FDIC — which makes sure your money is safe and guards against runs on banks — is not a good idea.

Shortsighted greed. www.commondreams.org/news/trump-b...

The argument that anyone who criticizes people in positions of power is “jealous” is so ignorant and silly.

I don’t want yachts the size of small towns and 47 different sports cars. I want the people around me that I care about to not be one medical emergency away from homelessness.

Violence is never the answer.

Unless, of course, you go through the proper channels and make a luxurious living off of doing it vicariously to millions of people every year, then it’s considered highly respectable

I can't abide by the Abrahamic idea of God, but I'll allow this. It works with my concept of "God."

We have an open sourced list of banned books that anyone can review.

You’ll find this study to be sadly correct!

what if your ideas are as in love with you as you are with them?

what if your creativity spends its days dreaming about you too?

what if art is a co-creation between you (the vessel) & the eternal source of all things?

what if this act of making is the universe experiencing itself through you?
