I grew up in the south in the 50s and 60s. I received all the indoctrination you would expect. I’ve spent all my adult life trying to unlearn all the racism, bigotry, and sexism.

On November 5, 2024 there were approximately 244.7 million Americans eligible to vote. Of those approximately 139.8 million actually voted.
I see lots of folks angry at the 104.9 million who didn’t vote. What I don’t see is anyone trying to find out why 104.9 million people chose not to vote.

Speaking of EPSTEIN! We don’t really need the EPSTEIN files! We could just f*cking listen to the victims! They’re quite willing to testify about who did what to them. Some of them are already on record about Donald Trump.

Democracy is a beautiful thing. It exists in a number of ways across the world, all of them valid. Democracy is on life support in America. It is worth saving here! Fight to save it. Fight at the local and state levels! Fight wherever and whenever you can!

Thank you.
Fascism is here. We are not “getting closer” or “in danger of.”
This matters because it frames our discussion: We aren’t trying to prevent it, we’re trying to defeat it. It’s not taking over our institutions, it’s taken them over.
Otherwise, we’re always behind, fighting a past we’ve already lost.
