He sounds like a broken lawnmower. Even a rabid dog is still a dog, and therefore has more soul than RFK.

ICYMI: We have to stop dividing our problems into “left & right" & start seeing our problems like “top vs bottom.” 977 U.S. billionaires have a combined wealth of 9.2 trillion & they funneled it out of the middle class. Then they keep us fighting with each other while they steal more.
The propaganda of political division gives the illusion that it’s possible to punish the opposite party and not your own. As if there are two Americas and we can target our enemies to hurt only them. It’s a damn shame it will take Trump hurting all of America for some to find out we were never separate groups in the first place. Quote by Melissa Nadia Viviana

Hope everyone has seen enough of the colors going boom-boom in the sky for one year. Fucking grow up already! Some of you have never been scared before, or had compassion for someone who has, or ever considered anyone but yourself, and it SHOWS And don't get me started on the waste and the damage.

JK Rowling is now represented by a trans person in the Scottish parliament. Absolutely incredible.
Two transgender MSPs elected to Holyrood in first for Scottish parliament
Dr Q Manivannan and Iris Duane secured regional list seats for the Scottish Green Party.

Why would you name a library after someone who doesn't read books? If we're going to name anything after him, it should be a prison.

We should be terrified of the consequences of staying silent. Not of the consequences of speaking out.
Everyone who is afraid to join a No Kings or other protests needs to understand this; you're afraid of the wrong thing. You should be afraid of what will happen if we all stay home.
