i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Kamala should do rallies again. With Newsom. And Jasmine Crockett. And Buttigieg. And AOC. And Wes Moore. And Bernie. All of them united. One rally per month. Mostly about billionaires taking over. Groceries and jobs. Fuck this clown. People want to fight back. It would make his diaper explode.

When the 4 Non Blondes said “And so I wake in the morning and I step outside, and I take a deep breath and I get real high
and I scream from the top of my lungs WHAT’S GOIN ON?!”
I really felt that.

it genuinely sucks that basically nothing on the internet works well anymore. search? barely works. social media? filled with garbage engagement-bait designed to game the algorithm. news websites? pages that refresh at random or so covered in video ads that it’s impossible to read stories
