#Mamdani is Mayor-Elect and the victory of a Democratic Socialist in America’s largest city is a sliver of hope in these troubling and uncertain times. He’s going to have a major fight ahead of him and I wish him nothing but the absolute best.

#EatTheRich because they’re the leeches of society. They aren’t paying their fair share in taxes. It’s the ultra rich who are the problem in America. Wake the fuck up.

At this point I’d genuinely love for anyone in the #MAGA crowd that screams about “big government” to explain these line items, all while the working class American people are about to get spikes in health insurance costs. #makeitmakesense

As a gay man from the midwestern U.S. … Boots from Netflix sort of felt like being closeted again. It certainly wasn’t a celebration or happy moment about being a gay man in America. As a member of a multigenerational military family it just made me realize… why??

Do you remember going to the school nurse and she checked on you? Sometimes she gave you pain reliever or other things to help, right? As a child do you remember being given a bill or one being sent to your parents? No? That was called socialized healthcare. #UniversalHealthcareForAll

I must confess that when I was younger I expected the future to have more robot butlers and jetpacks, and less fascism and genocide, but here we are.

#TaxTheRich — Just a reminder: Billionaire wealth hoarders didn’t “earn” what they have, they exploited and stole it from the working class. To be that rich requires abusing the system and exploiting the masses. Tax the shit out of them.

The world will be destroyed by two things, it seems to me: greed and violence... That’s why great spiritual teachers will always teach you to live a simple life, to not take more than your share, so that communion and community, brotherhood and sisterhood, are possible.

The problem is the billionaire class. While the rest of us live paycheck to paycheck and fight each other, these assholes are destroying the world just so they can hoard ever more wealth. Tax. The. Damned. Rich.

I cancelled my Disney+ account. When asked why I wrote, “For cancelling Jimmy Kimmel and giving in to fascism - Do better Disney” — Collectively these companies have more power than Trump but you know… it’s really the billionaires who fuel #MAGA

Let me get this straight… #MAGA loves to call people “Libtards” and throw mud verbally at Dems like @hillaryclinton.bsky.social (remember all the crap they said). No one gets arrested or fired for that. Then @jimmykimmel.com makes a comment about Charlie Kirk and he’s cancelled? Damned hypocrites.

We are letting a serial child rapist torch our economy and our standing in the world while endangering us by letting a brainworm determine our vaccine policy.
This is being allowed b/c assholes who sunburn easily think they’re superior to people who don’t.

What moderates and liberals underestimate is how much of the GOP kool-aid the white evangelical Christian community in the U.S. has drunk. Since Reagan it’s been a decline in logic and blind worship of the far-right. They married religion and politics, which breeds a monster.
