When I’m at protests, I inform my comrades to mask up. Safety first. But also because I knew years ago they were doing this. If you protest they’re ID’ing us illegally. And they use it as a weapon. To blacklist. Blackmail. Harass. Arrest. And even assassinate us. They use it to terrorize free people

In the history of all the things that never happened, this never happened the most. SMH. Politicians lie. These politicians lie so often it seems like breathing.

Imagine if in Republican dominated states they passed a law that said that the bathrooms were now for “Whites Only”. Anyone who isn’t White would be fined and jailed. This is life under Republican tyranny for transgender people. And this regime has led the segregation of trans people from society.

McDonald's is now reportedly pressuring franchisees to use AI to price food. Its CEO raked in $20.6M last year, over 1,000x the median McDonald's worker pay of $19,020. And they remain one of the largest employers of Medicaid and SNAP recipients. I'm not lovin' it.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 325-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

Years ago I had mentioned that housing is a human right and I got so much pushback. It’s nice to see people come around. But it’s also unfortunate they had to suffer through the housing crisis to get to this point.

This Wednesday, Elon Musk called for the death sentence for transgender youth care providers. It was in reply to a post calling for full criminalization of all gender-affirming surgery. Musk is becoming even more radicalized in targeting trans people. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Musk’s posts are not just inflammatory rhetoric. They have real-life consequences.

The intersection between gender and race are treated as more complicated. And deemed by some as less important. But how can we all be free if anyone is left behind because they don’t check every box that the dominant culture prefers? A Black Trans person’s lived experience can school us all

Trans rights are under attack by the same mfs against DEI. Even straight people of color are under threat as well. This regime don’t want anyone but wealthy straight white Christian men to lead the country. Anyone else is not included. America ain’t no VIP club. It’s liberty and justice for all

When I saw footage of nazis at a republican election watch party in 2016 throw that dumb salute and no one there said anything it was clear to me then that the fascists knew they had their guy. He’s been an enemy of freedom since day one. Of course he hates antifascism. That’s on par for a fascist.

Just because I’m a radical socialist doesn’t mean all trans people are. I started protesting when I became unhoused during that mfs first term. It sucked then too. But I was coming from the streets to speak out. Not just for my rights, but all the oppressed. What I saw had radicalized me to stand up

Imagine if I were president and I decided to take healthcare away from White Christian children, even rejecting them at hospitals. Millions would be outraged. That’s what it’s like watching Trans kids lose their healthcare as a Trans adult. It’s a nightmare to watch. Like a murder in slow motion

That’s good news. A society that doesn’t appreciate its artists is lost and uninspired. Artists give society its soul. And without that breath in our society, we’re a shell, a body with no life. And love of the arts isn’t for the rich alone, it’s for everyone, and often made by “starving” people.

And there’s nothing virtuous about a war machine capable of the systematic murder of scores of innocent people, especially in the promotion of a single religion. In fact, that’s not a virtue, it’s called terrorism. And it’s also fascist. Hence the term “Christo-fascism”

Christian terrorists are no less dangerous than jihadists. These are the same Christians who claim it should be legal to kill LGBTQ+ people because there’s a passage of hate they love. Which makes them fundamentalists, and effectively engaging in a form of terrorism. That ain’t religious freedom.

No joke. When I now, and perhaps for the rest of my life, hear the words “corrupt”, I think Trump. He’s become synonymous with the word.

Sunbeam Virtuous @sunbeamvirtuous.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
When Trump said, “grab em by the pussy”, he was talking about being powerful enough to sexually assault any woman he wants. But now after the Epstein files, I’m not so sure he was even talking about a woman of legal age. It was abhorrent then, and it’s more so now. He’s a slimy perverted degenerate

The answer to our problem here in America is the opposite of everything this fascist regime stands for. Being better than them should take no effort. But being truly great is gonna take some teamwork. And true greatness isn’t a monument to a single man’s ego, it’s about lifting each one of us up.

You do realize that it was men who criminalized women? Who control the right to choose? These men were raised by men who taught them to control women. They wrote laws to keep women from making money and living independently. They still sling mud at reputations arrogantly passing judgments henceforth

The exclusion of transgender people from their healthcare simply because they’re transgender is not helping us by any means. If it’s doing anything, it’s taking steps towards a holocaust. It is no exaggeration, that taking healthcare away from trans people of any age, is a crime against humanity.

Sunbeam Virtuous @sunbeamvirtuous.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
In a communist country healthcare is covered, as the people are the best investment a country can make. And if you want to help the people, you give them what they need. You make sure each one is healthy. That each one can read. That each has a home. That each can earn a living. That they are happy.

I’m a communist. And I’m an American. I believe in personal freedom. But I don’t believe that it should be a privilege afforded by noble birth and upheld by a bigoted system that revolves around the richest citizens. As capitalism has not made our lives better. In fact, it made our lives shorter.

You may judge sex workers by calling them “whores” but unless you own the means of production, so are you. You who breaks your back for meager wages. Who has no benefits. A safe workplace. Job security. And is forced to do more than just your job. You sold your time & your body, but call it “income”

I don’t think drugs in their natural state, i.e., cannabis flower, opium latex, coca leaves, etc., should be illegal for personal consumption. The market should be regulated. And every single recreational drug should be tested for safety. Once it passes then it’s legal for sale and taxed accordingly

Lesbians, Gays, and Bisexuals who’ve decided that since they have rights, and are thus free to turn their backs to the rights of trans people, ipso facto have actually turned their backs to the entire community. They forgot our shared history. And that in some countries, all of us still aren’t free.

If someone is unhoused, hungry & steals a piece of bread plz forgive them. They already can’t buy hot food & have no kitchen. If they somehow don’t qualify, or had their paperwork trashed in a sweep, remember their plight. The laws weren’t written to protect the poorest amongst us. Especially today.

Elephants are perhaps the most spectacular animal on dry land. There’s something so extraordinarily majestic about these massive creatures that makes me appreciate nature so much that I’ll literally fight for it. To protect them, for all of us.

One year ago, the world lost one of its strongest advocates. Dr. Jane Goodall spent years advocating for animal welfare, for community-led conservation, and for youth environmental leadership. She knew that each one of us had an important role to play, and she made sure that we knew that, too.

There’s no leftist threat in America. We’re not well organized. And we’re terribly underfunded. The only power we possess is our knowledge. As they say knowledge is power. But it’s limited. When you’re up against a superpower, that’s organized, with unlimited funding, only solidarity keeps us afloat
