Love the butterfly!

The little victories.

Very much so. My hope is that his success in NYC, specifically a fully embraced democratic socialism, becomes the model for future presidential candidates. I'll forever dream of an Ocasio-Cortez administration, but I'll also take one that would be similar in action and tone.

that one day someone might treat them the way they treat others, so they want to kill and enslave everyone else so no one gets the chance to act on this fear of theirs, founded or not.

This is the battle for the soul of this country. Which strain will win out in the end?

to take my word for it, you can just turn on CNN and see a plethora of examples. This evil that cloaks itself in the guise of godliness is the cause of all that is bad in this country and continues to hold back our progress. It is cowardly, bullying, and rooted in a deep seated insecurity and fear

advancements. It has used the Bible to justify slavery, justify rape, justify hate, justify white and male supremacy. It would drag back every single one of the accomplishments I listed off above, and bring us back to suffering and death, which is what Christian Nationalists worship. You don't have

its best.

The other side of that coin is of course the Christian Nationalist strain. This strain of American has existed since at least the puritan days of the 1600's, and never gone away. It wraps itself in Bible and flag, but is just a mask for hate and bigotry. It doesn't like these

community, that enshrines same sex marriage into federal law. The one that created social safety nets, so that not only would the rich and powerful get to enjoy a dignified life. When we're lifting up and protecting the most vulnerable among us, and leveling the playing field, that is the USA at

fits and starts, with freeing the slaves, with giving women the right to vote, to giving women and minorities more autonomy over their lives and the ability to pursue their dreams in equal measure to white men who have always been given the benefit of the doubt. The one that safeguards the LGBTQ+

In my mind, The United States has always been a nation of two possibilities. One is that promise in the Declaration, that dream we struggle to make reality, the one where we stumble and fall but pick ourselves back up and dust ourselves off and try again. The one that has actualized itself in

The irony of using Maximus. Trump is more Commodus (the movie version), and we know how that played out.

I've always said if Christ were here today, he would be considered a far left hippie socialist.

He does. I adore him.

show by example what an empowered democratic socialist can do, and already is. My hope is that his example is emulated.

Bless AOC for endorsing and crowning him, and bless him.

He couldn't stand in starker contrast. The propaganda around the word 'socialist' and being associated with it is so infuriating. The Dem leadership being cowards and making him go it alone makes me so mad. Had they fully backed him, his victory would have been even stronger. But fuck it, he will

❤️❤️❤️

A wonderful man. A wonderful human being.

You fucking know why. It's being covered up because Trump is a pedophile, and Bondi is a pedophile enabler. God I'm fucking tired of them pretending to not know that. I know Mace knows that, but she's so bought into the cult she just can't fucking say it.

And a president doesn't have to be perfect, they don't have to check off all the right boxes. They just need to inspire the best in us, and have us believing in a better future. The good shit comes along with that hope.

who knew him personally, and knew how he was when the cameras were off, and no sound bite to be caught for a flashy headline. He was still the same warm-hearted soul you saw on the TV.

unpopular decisions that cost him political capital, he had to sacrifice more progressive dreams to negotiate and compromise, and he did it all with grace and dignity. Nobody can dissuade me of that, I saw the strength of his character with my own eyes. I've also met folks from my time in Chicago

Accurate. Not really sure how else to frame it. I watched my fellow white people just froth at the mouth over their rage against him during his 8 years, never understanding it. The man was doing everything he could to put the country back together after the disastrous Bush years. He had to make

God I wish. That is a pleasant fiction to think about.

And now I no longer have dry eyes. Thanks, Obama. You and your damn good speeches from the heart.

I am, too, trust me. Clinton would have been a good successor to Obama, Harris would have been a good successor to Clinton. They would have kept us on the sane path.

I'll forever be mystified how we went from this man, a man of dignity and compassion, to what we're dealing with now. I know all the reasons, I'm just so disheartened by it. I hope we return to that one day.

I was reading they've moved fast to get MAGA influencers out of there. So once again, it's all about being part of an exclusive club. Not in it? They don't care.

💯. If we believed and esteemed women, the world would be an infinitely better place. The unfathomable crimes we read about either wouldn't have happened or the culprits would have been punished long ago, and the warmongering men do would be dramatically reduced.
