Must be nice to be rich enough to think people can afford a Playstation, the power it costs to run it, the roof needed to house it & the money to pay for the games.

I’ve done my vote - no VFF members, no hard right talking heads, no one who used racebaiting dog whistles or seemingly faked qualifications, or anyone who signed the TPU pledge.

Watch this and pass it on. This is state thuggery, call them the Stasi, the Gestapo, NKVD--this is what dictators do. It's horrifying to hear this story.

It’s frankly unacceptable that there’s this consistent commentary on how untenable politics is for those who aren’t cis white men but no reflection on the cause, the complicit behaviour, the implicit or overt tolerance, the acceptance, the endorsement.

YES, CONGRESS CAN IMPEACH TRUMP RIGHT NOW. HERE’S WHY.
Donald Trump has only been back in the White House for a couple of months, and the Constitution is hanging by a thread.
