Minnesotan. Progressive. π π π Universal healthcare, UBI, and embracing green energy will set us free in many ways. It's all tied together. I value kindness, dignity, curiosity, truth, altruism, empathy, respect, and cooperation.

rhetoric of the fascist looks all the more hollow. Fascism is not built to last. Yes, I'm waxing poetic about a small thing, but it's the collection of small things like that that signifies the temporary nature of that ideology, and gives me hope.
I've been thinking about how they already took Noem off the TV's at airports. It's a small thing, but a reminder that time wins out against fascism. Fascism is fleeting, it can't hold onto the reins of power forever, and another day dawns at some point. And when it does, all the propaganda and

made it. He places no value on human life, or service to country. He never has. He has only ever cared about his bank account, and evading being in trouble, that's it. He is one of the most transparent con men in history, and that so many refuse to publicly acknowledge that is maddening.
Don't be surprised that we haven't lowered the flags for our dead soldiers, but Trump did for Charlie Kirk. Dead soldiers are suckers and losers to him. He means that, believe him. They are nothing but toys to him. He wasn't joking when he made that remark, and people weren't angry enough when he
Likely is, but I get the spirit of it. They won't be so easily broken as our state media and regime makes it out to be, is what I took away from it.

Can we just elect more women, please? So tired of this stupid macho posturing and death by insecure men.
History busy rhyming.
What in the world...
military members shipped home in boxes with flags draped over them. For nothing. This is where the Ugly American idea comes from, the regime is busy exacerbating it. Sigh.
fucking lesson, apparently. They get too high off their own supply thinking we can bully any country into submission. I bet these fools know nothing about Iran's history. We won't win this fight that *we* started. We'll just have trillions of dollars more in debt, costs at home will go up, and dead
colonialism, and they chased us out of there. Cue haunting photos of body bridges trying to hang onto last helicopters leaving in Saigon. Robert McNamara, in Kegbreath's job then, probably had the same corrupt arrogance about him that our current idiot does.
America doesn't fucking learn this
Reads like Vietnam to me. When we went there, the Vietnamese had already been under the yolk of colonialism from the French for nearly 100 years. All the gadgets and gizmos and weaponry advancements didn't mean shit against their indomitable will to see their country free from the evil of

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

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

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.
