Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today.
We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

I can’t imagine going through life anxiously awaiting being told who & what I need to be angry about. Being told in which to point my morals.
I just can’t.
I’ve always been anti-fascism, anti-xenophobic and all the other isms & phobics. I’ve always thought humans deserve humanity. Period.

As with guns, “christianity” is the problem. It gives power-hungry a back door to authoritarianism
First wielding commandment 3 of 10 to use the other 9 to subjugate the most gullible. Morality doesn’t require a figurehead, humanity is all that is needed. Facing everyone in the same direction (up) 🧵

So once theHeritage Foundation discovered illegals do not and cannot vote (btw no illegal would go near a polling place so magas logic is insane) they knew they had to propagandize that illegals vote. They lied as always. They have to lie because their theories do not hold up. “white culture?”

Whelp. The voter suppression angle is complete. Jeffries is pro-ICE. Fetterman is pro-ICE.
What’s left for “the people” aside from following the French?? There are no levers left.
I don’t think listing actual events is cynical or nihilistic.
Genuinely curious, here.

Stephanie Ruhle: This bridge will take toll money away from another bridge that connects Michigan and Canada, and that bridge is owned by a big Trump donor who, on Monday, had a meeting with Howard. Lutnick. Immediately following that meeting, poof, we no longer want this new bridge.

Opposing dehumanization of people, terrorizing of children—this has nothing to do with politics. It hasn’t been about politics for years.

We are all him. Except Magas who are NOT patriots.
Dont forget he dumped feces on 7 million Americans.
Magas still like the pedophile who dumps shit on his people and tortures and kills babies. He’s their guy. It’s time to treat magas like child raping nazis. Shun them.

What a timeline! For those that don’t know, China has been slowly enveloping Russia’s land over in northern Siberia and Putin cannot do much about it because his military is so spread out.

The only way to truly resist the corruption and inequalities of “the system” is to rely less on the system.
Unfortunately, many of the “trad-who’s & what’s” are a fast-track to the alt right.
We need to find a way to take that back. I’ve decided to revisit my affordable housing system & (1/?) 🧵

For years I was “alarmist” or overreacting. My wife is an immigrant, lived here for nearly 20 years now. She got her citizenship last fall.
But, that doesn’t matter. P2025 told us that long b4 last election. My family—couldn’t give less of a shit.
If they ever see this, here’s another 🖕

Hey, fellow Pennsylvanians, who are we planning to replace @fetterman.senate.gov with?? He was the only dem to support increased gestapo funding.
Does he have a plan for when #Pittsburgh gets picked apart by ICE? Funding to put the city back together? What about concentration camps nearby?

At this point, just tell him he got a gold star sticker and that he now has more gold star stickers than any other president in history.
He’ll brag about that at every opportunity like the good, demented boy he is.

I and millions of Americans believe exactly the same thing Kasparov does.
Too many troops, too many new prisons, too much money not under Congressional supervision.
We're not just witnessing a mass deportation scheme anymore.
This is something significantly bigger and scarier.

From ~13 I felt like learning about psychological fallacies should be mandatory.
Imagine how much that could help the world? But, consumerism, religion, capitalism, dogma of any kind would suffer.
Suffer for the sake of improved mental wellness across the board, but suffer nonetheless
