Very old on the age spectrum, gay on that spectrum, very left on the political spectrum.
I enjoy women's college sports, like to read, love a biting sense of humor.
I accept everyone except those out to hurt me or my people.
I am nobody's property. No DMs

It lowers my blood pressure and brings me peace.

Many Americans are hurting right now because of the shutdown, but caving to Republicans won’t end the hurt.
Trump and his lapdogs continue to assert that they alone have the power to slash whatever programs they don’t like.
Deals with this regime are meaningless.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

It worked for them the first time. Why not do it again? Someone is getting pleasure from this atrocity.
What do you think about children being detained by Trump in facilities where they have to fight for clean drinking water?
Where the water is cloudy, smells & upsets stomachs & the soap for showers causes rashes & they have to sleep on concrete floors?

What everyone should understand is that Donald Trump could just pay SNAP benefits so people don't go hungry.
He's choosing not to. He is choosing to appeal to SCOTUS. He is choosing cruelty.

It is an insult to every person who showed up for NO KINGS, everyone who voted last Tuesday, everyone who stands up to ICE, every judge who has held the legal line, every small town person who stands up week after week in their red rural area with their signs saying “Vote Blue”. THEY LET US DOWN!!

Anyone surprised??
Trump is pardoning people who tried to steal the election on his behalf.
Once again using his office to help his friends, attack his enemies, and undermine the rule of law and our democracy.
But he can’t change this simple fact: He lost the 2020 election.

They want the poor to be in camps where they have to work for food. That is the end game. Not healthy enough to work then you don't eat. At least that is the "Between the lines" I got from 2025.

Caving on the shutdown won’t make you “moderate.” It makes you WEAK! Giving Republicans what they want for NOTHING more than a “promise” of a vote and risking millions of Americans’ healthcare isn’t compromise—it’s surrender and it’s the most RADICAL thing you could do in this moment. 1/
