Politically Independent, Humanist. Hobby photography. Beside myself with grief, worry, and anger about this far-right takeover of the US.

I want politics to become embarrassing for wealthy people again. Not dangerous, or violent, just deeply, socially, spiritually fucking embarrassing to hoard obscene wealth while your neighbour skips dinner.

Donald Trump is like AI itself—over confident, often wrong, and prone to hallucinating facts. His “morally binding” agreement means nothing. We can’t let Big Tech regulate itself. Congress must act now.

I got a container of soup that quoted Virginia Woolf on the lid saying “soup is cuisine’s kindest course” which is nice but surely there’s someone who said something positive about soup that didn’t walk into the ocean with rocks in their pockets

That is why taking back the Senate is crucial. A veto proof majority would stop him in his tracks. He veto’s Senate overrides.

i'm not over Alito saying we shouldn't count ballots that are mailed on or before Election Day but arrive shortly afterwards bc they can “radically flip” the “apparent outcome” cannot stress enough that, until all ballots are counted, there's no outcome to flip! ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/alito...

25 years ago today, George W. Bush signed the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force into law. Barbara Lee was the only member of Congress to vote against it, warning it would be a blank check for forever wars. History has proven her lonely and courageous vote right.

The point about Trump offering $5,000 to 'take the house' is that it is inappropriate, unseemly, and downright illegal. The point is NOT that Trump won't pay (anyway). smh.

I don't think we should allow ICE to continue. I never thought in my whole life that I would see concentration camps in the US, although there was confinement of perfectly innocent Japanese and such. Guess I need to bone up on my history. Guess we all should.
