Having to choose between life-saving meds and basic needs is a tragedy I never thought I’d be facing. It’s tough out here for everyone — y’all take care of yourselves and each other ✊

I’ve seen enough. Men have had their chance, and they’ve squandered it. It’s time for women to lead. Not just to excel in a man’s world, but to remake it.

To my lovely 🦋 friends, please enjoy this laugh — after the last 48 hours, I needed it!

Charlie Kirk has been hailed as the “MLK jr of the right.” So, I’d like to see some of the inspirational messages he’s delivered over the years. Dr. King had his dream; what might CK be remembered for? I’ll go first: “Gay people should be stoned to death.” A personal favorite.

I’m so sick of conservative voices lifting up CK as if his whole shtick wasn’t to spew hateful rhetoric and celebrate the ensuing chaos. The whole, “we lost an angel to the left” narrative is not only disingenuous, it’s a direct threat to our lives.

There is no clearer example of the stark difference between Ds and Rs when it comes to empathy. A quick ChatGPT inquiry show only 6 (six!) statements from Rs expressing condolences or condemning gun violence when the MN legislators were gunned down. Triple that from Ds over Kirk, already.

I’ve already seen a dozen different shots of the Kirk shooting from various spectators….I don’t recall similar footage from the incident with Orange.

Another school shooting with truly innocent victims (Denver) won’t be covered at all because a dumbshit extremist provocateur who travels the country gaslighting college kids was attacked. Both are tragic, of course, but only one is a senseless crime.

A brief break from the awfulness out there…it’s been exactly one year since I received my new heart. Cannot properly express my gratitude for everyone who helped me with this second chance 🙏 I promise to make the most of it!

Such a good, obedient Russian asset. The meeting with his handler is already paying dividends for Putin. Also, release the Epstein files.

It’s been a while, just checking how engagement looks over here. Even with 10k followers, my posts rarely get more than 1 or 2 likes/comments… Is it true what 🦋 critics say, that this is a place for follower farming and not true discourse or engagement? Drop a like or comment so i can see you!

If you voted Trump, you are, at the VERY least, on the same side as these clowns. I don’t care if you’re not “one of them” or you disagree with racism — this is what you supported with your vote.

Ken Park @kenpark.bsky.social · 17/08/2025
Yet the orange turd covets Putin’s criticism of our elections, valuing his word over those of American experts. This is clearly asset/handler-level bootlicking (oh, and treason, to boot).

Ken Park @kenpark.bsky.social · 23/07/2025
Actually tired of hearing that Tr was found to be among “many names” in the Epstein files (an obvious attempt at sugar coating). While certain to be true, only one is the current President who will stop at nothing to become a bona fide dictator. The consequences can’t come fast enough.

This is infuriating, going even beyond the standard malicious partisanship we’ve become desensitized to. Not even worth trying to identify statutes he’s violating — they’ll find a way to escape any negative consequences. But still, somehow, as you said, not all that surprising….

Once again, an egregious lie that puts Americans (and everyone, really) in real danger. There is no way he didn’t know about the attacks when he said it.

Hi 🦋 friends! I’m so sorry to have been MIA…finally better after a bit of a health setback:) Thankfully, 6 months post transplant, the new 🫀 is doing great, and my recovery is back on track! Anything happen while I was gone? 😅 Looking fwd to catching up and rejoining the good fight here! 💙 ✊

Familiar with the concept of the “shadow cabinet?” Timothy Snyder offers an excellent primer here and lays out the potential importance of shadow cabinets to the opposition movement. Please feel free to share your thoughts or questions! open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

“A collective amnesia appears to have set in. Across large swathes of the US, a brazen coup d’etat seems to have been successfully recharacterised as a protest that just went a teeny bit awry.” We cannot let them forget.

“It was a "change" election…But the candidate who would have changed American society in the direction of equality was not the change candidate. The candidate who was associated with wealth was.” Excellent insights from Timothy Snyder’s latest…

“This week MAGA extremists in South Carolina introduced a bill mandating the death penalty for women who seek an abortion.” Pro-life, or nah? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thanks for clarifying. It sounds to me that you don’t agree with the principles that shape DEI-based policies (which would generally mean *caring about race, gender, etc to affect systemic change). Agree to disagree. Cheers.

The “reformist pose is being hatched as fake cover to support Patel later despite what Republicans all know to be true—that Trump has selected him to transform the agency into a weapon against his enemies.” Such cowards, all of them. High profile political targets are just the start — we’re next.

Am interesting tactic from @alanhowe.bsky.social for stopping 45 from swearing in as 47. Might’ve helped more before the election 🤷🏻‍♂️ Any thoughts?

Welcome to the resistance. I have a proposal for you for action at the end of this essay, but it will make more sense to you if first we talk more about “kompromat.” You will note that the word sounds...

Saw an interview (can’t find it now!) with a farmer who, when asked about the threat of mass deportations, said he trusted Trump to NOT do what he promised he would. This is what we’re up against, folks.

The problem, of course, is that a large portion of the electorate responds better to simple slogans over multifaceted, nuanced, and overarching principles. It’s not the message that’s lazy — it’s the impressionable voter.

Ken Park @kenpark.bsky.social · 11/12/2024
In addition to just being the right thing to do, establishing ways to integrate undocumented workers costs relatively nothing compared what we would lose from mass deportations.
