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.

Every whale I spoke to said, “You humans who voted for Trump are clueless!” Their problem isn’t windmills, it’s getting sliced up by oil tankers, starving from disappearing krill, and choking on plastic and oil spills. They’re smart creatures. Maybe listen to them for once. Goodnight!

ICYMI, this is what’s coming unless there is coordinated action taken against it — now. At the rate the Rule of Law is being destroyed there’s no reason the richest man and actual President won’t use the military to create the fascist “Technate of America” his Nazi grandpa Joshua Haldeman wanted.
