That Irish-American anti-racist you heard about. Queer and mad.
Anyone can choose to be an anti-racist, but time is running out. Please, fix your hearts if you want to live.

You need to get over yourself and accept that you keep losing because you keep backing racist losers with nothing to offer but reheated white grievance politics, in a primary that lives and breathes by the votes of Black and Jewish people lmao.
This might actually be my finest work.

Communism doesn't work bc "do no harm" is not real. Anarchy doesn't work bc "do no harm" is not real. Fascism is the standard mode of humanity, community social improvement is the nuclear physics of society

They'd have their continued white hegemony into perpetuity. While they'd probably not have a totalitarian racist bent to their existence, they'd still be harassing and killing Black ppl with impunity.
They decided to eat EACH OTHER.
They WILL ALWAYS harm. It's unrealistic to think "do no harm"

You know what's weird to me. The hatred of trans and queer ppl.
Like they assume trans and queer ppl don't have or want to make children. They need their "white replacement" but they need it on their terms.
If they had just let ppl live and stopped making it so expensive to live, they'd have it.

I mean, this might be kind of true in a perverse "no atheists in a foxhole" kind of way?
1. In Washington yesterday, at the National Prayer Breakfast, the president actually took credit for the Bible being a bestseller.
“In 2025, more copies of the Holy Bible were sold in the United States than at any time in the last 100 years,” Donald Trump said.

AWFUL news tonight. This blesses the “mandatory” detention in the 5th Circuit without bond (and little chance at habeas) of every undocumented immigrant who originally entered across the border, no matter how many decades in the past.
It will fuel ICE’s push to transfer people to Texas immediately.

It's a 2-1 ruling

the fastest, easiest way to get that, given the practical reality of the existing electoral infrastructure, is to have those people win Democratic primaries

maybe we can eventually make structural reforms that allow the American political system to function, at a practical level, with more than two parties
but that, too, will require electing Better Democrats

I've said it before and I'll say it again
"We can't fix the Dems, we need a new viable third party" is the political equivalent of "we can't fix Earth's environment, let's colonize Mars"
In that however hard the first one might be - maybe very! - the second one is orders of magnitude harder

I want the strongest possible slate of candidates this November, tempered in the fires of a competitive primary cycle. I will vote for whomever goes to the general, period. So run. Shout from the rooftops. Donate. Canvass. Endorse. And may the best candidates win. 🏁

I'll point out, only one of the two options is a pathway to healing, liberation, and solidarity.
Most marginalized whites are not choosing that option right now.

I think there are basically two ways to react to systemic disadvantage as a white person.
1: Anger at the inherent injustice of the hierarchy and working to dismantle it completely.
2: Anger that the unjust hierarchy doesn't serve you, specifically, and working to reposition yourself within it.

Dems have had the trifecta of power 6 years in the last *50* and every time, they have given us health care, expanded on human rights. Every time they have dug us out of an economic and moral hole.
Every time, white voters hand the stick of power back to Rs after 2 years & danger has passed.

Based on everything I’m seeing in these FBI investigative Epstein Files
Bitcoin, 4Chan, QAnon, PizzaGate, and pretty much every batty MAGA conspiracy theory over the years,
would never have existed or occurred—without Jeffrey Epstein.
He was literally molding our political tribalism for his gain.
