In an attempt to spark empathy, I’ve started sharing movies with my brother—One per month—to gently expose him to diverse perspectives, identities, and experiences.

No idea how this will work.

Join me on this journey, if you like.

"Should you avoid getting anything too close to your scalp?"

Are you supposed to wear a biohaz suit to apply conditioner?

I keep forgetting to catch y'all up.

After Bedknobs and Broomsticks, I sent Sound of Music. This one was kinda our personal family Lore. We viewed ourselves as the Von Trapps as we were a musical family, and both our parents being music teachers, we knew the songs very well.

AOC, @aoc.bsky.social, making the case for free speech alongside universal healthcare is so KEY for the left, because it's time progressives reclaimed the mantle of fighting for free speech from the faux free speech warriors of the right.
AOC: I want to live in an America that guarantees healthcare to every person.

I want to live in an America that has a living wage for every person

I want to live in an America where you have free speech to express yourself and not be afraid of being put on a list or deported.

I had to compose myself before posting—because this breaks a part of my soul.

If you’re a contractor with a segregation policy, say it loud—so non-white dollars don’t fund your business. It won’t go how you think.

And if anyone uncovers businesses doing this, put them on blast.

Russia ended the ceasefire in Ukraine it negotiated with Trump minutes after agreeing to it. Trump is a failure and clown.

Putin has now attacked a hospital in Sumy, and the cities of Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Sumy, Chernihiv, Poltava, Kharkiv, Kirovohrad, Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, and Cherkasy regions.

Happy to see this decision.

Trans rights are human rights.

"Indeed, the cruel irony is that thousands of transgender servicemembers have sacrificed some risking their lives – to ensure for others the very equal protection rights the Military Ban seeks to deny them."

🚨 WAKE UP: THE U.S. IS ALREADY A DICTATORSHIP 🚨

Trump is:
❌ Revoking pardons to punish enemies.
❌ Expanding mass arrests & deportations.
❌ Weaponizing federal agencies.
❌ Erasing civil rights protections.
❌ Ruling with no checks or accountability.
March 17, 2025 at 4:07 PM
🚨 TRUMP IS CONSOLIDATING POWER—WE ARE ALREADY IN A DICTATORSHIP 🚨

✅ DOJ = Now a weapon to punish his enemies.
✅ Federal agencies purged, replaced with loyalists.
✅ Mass deportations & arrests without trials.
✅ Birthright citizenship? Gone. Civil rights? Being erased.

🚨 DICTATOR BEHAVIOR: TRUMP IS DESTROYING DEMOCRACY 🚨

Trump isn’t “going authoritarian”—he’s already there.

🔴 Weaponizing the DOJ to punish political enemies.
🔴 Declaring Biden’s pardons “void” to erase accountability.
🔴 Mass arrests & deportations with no due process.

This month's movie is Ever After, the Cinderella story with Drew Barrymore.

This was personal, because I was both the bookworm, and the one pushed to be the hardest working and the maintainer of the house, while both my brothers lived privileged childhoods.

But it's also a story about classism.
