Yes like the RAtM song.
Liberal-Left, sanity and science driven fan of human compassion when it’s warranted.

Latinos are fundamental to California’s history, culture, and greatness.
Latino Heritage Month is a chance to acknowledge the fact that California’s story doesn’t exist without yours — and to celebrate the grit, joy, and dreams that Latinos contribute to our beautiful state.

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out.
This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

Still Queer.
Still polyamorous.
Still pagan.
Still educated.
Still opinionated.
Still loud.
And nothing that man does can change that.

As a casual non-white observer, it’s so bizarre to see folks work so hard to try to prove their superiority over someone like me when they could spend that time actually bettering their own lives and…I don’t know, be happy instead of miserable fucks.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Anyone who hasn't figured out by now that Kennedy is an unqualified heartless hack, needs to read up.
He's a cruel con artist
His late wife didn't deserve the abuse she got from The Kennedy couple in the same way America doesn't deserve to be punished by them, either.
Say Nay to RFK Jr.
