This year, I’m calling out injustice, fighting fascism & greed, embracing chaos & being LOUD. No time, money, or attention to corporations harming our planet or putting profit over people. We all must rise to protect our kids, our planet, & demand a just equitable future.

This year, let’s starve the rich. Our power lies in where we put our work, money, time, & attention. Refuse to feed big corporations—support ethical businesses, live your values, and make every choice a reflection of the future we want. Don’t just eat the rich—starve them. #ReclaimPower

He’s a monstrous gasbag of depravity. As ruthless as he is cunning, Trump lusts for power & has a talent for manipulating others by exploiting their weaknesses. Greed, cruelty & hedonism are his guiding “principles.” This orange-hued shitbird is the very essence of evil in human form #Shitler
