Advice for younger gay men or anyone really.
Don't put anything on hold waiting for a romantic partner or Intimate relationship or even a date to go with.
See that movie, play, or concert, or visit that travel destination by yourself if necessary.
Life is short. Live your best life single.

Donald Trump won’t be on the ballot in 2028, so as fun as @gavinnewsom.bsky.social’s social media is now, that won’t help him much then.
If he really wants to set himself up for a 2028 run against Vance, then bringing universal health care to California would be a colossal achievement to run on.

Just another day when AG Bondi and the DoJ continued to break the law by not releasing the Epstein files that were supposed to be released in full on December 19th — and nobody did anything about their lawbreaking.

Now that Trump & Republicans’ Project 2025 has broken the federal government for at least a few years, state governments are going to have to step up.
We are going to see wide disparities in public services across the country in the run up to electing Governors and state legislatures in November.

The most NYC thing ever is that Zohran Mamdani had to pay $9 immediately upon taking the oath of office — and no they do not make change. 😂

So the law required ALL the Epstein filled to be released ok Dec. 19th, and only a fraction of them have been released. The DoJ broke the law and then nothing happened.
Why would anyone hold petty crimes accountable in Court when the DoJ itself just brazenly breaks the law?

Anyone who insists that Zohran Mamdani or any other non-Christian take a swearing-in-oath on a Bible is the modern day version of the Pharisees that Jesus the Christ warned us about.

Can you imagine Donald Trump listening to constituents and not making it totally about what is in it for himself?

It's pretty astonishing how the DoJ just flagrantly violates the law every day by not releasing the Epstein files, and nothing happens, and no one does anything.

Do we understand that this movement to ban property taxes doesn't originate from middle-class homeowners who don't want public and city services?
This campaign comes from private equity interests buying up all the single-family homes that don't want to pay taxes on their investments.

It will take at least a couple of election cycles before a federal trifecta can be won that could pass universal health care.
In the meantime, each state can already use its 10th Amendment powers under existing ACA law to create a state universal system similar to the Swiss.

“I am scared that if blue states sort-secede then Trump will retaliate against us.”
—
He is already retaliating against us.
He has withheld disaster relief, infrastructure funds, and child care funds, and he sent troops uninvited into our cities.
So we have to stand up for ourselves now.

As Trump and Project 2025 have broken the federal government for at least a few years, we may as well empower ourselves with the 10th Amendment.
Let the new blue state public health alliance be just the start. An Emergency Management Fund that Trump cannot withhold from out of spite should be next.

Want a public option for health insurance? Three states currently have them on their state exchanges: WA, CO, & NV. Your state can have one too.
With Republicans gutting Medicaid and the ACA, accessibility to health insurance falls onto your state. State legislatures reconvene in January.

We are actively witnessing the fall of the old order that we knew where the U.S. Constitution, the law, and "norms" no longer apply as we knew them.
But just you wait to see the comeback as we rebuild into something better than before from the ground up.
The Universe loves a comeback story.

It will take at least a couple of election cycles to elect a federal blue trifecta that can rebuild what Project 2025 has broken.
Meanwhile, a lot has now fallen back onto the states.
New Mexico is the first state to establish universal childcare. If NM can do this, so can any other state.

You know, spending "eternity" with you hateful people in your concept of "Heaven" isn't the selling point that you think it is.
I doubt that Jesus is too keen on the idea either.
