Artist, musical performer, and former derby skater from the Midwest.

I'm single, childless, and married to freedom and adventure.

ACAB, Anti-War, and I hate Democrats, Republicans, and billionaires. (Yes, even your favorite billionaire: the pop star, the philanthropost, the legendary athlete, or the soft-spoken investment guru who cosplays as middle class.) With each passing day I get a little closer to hating everyone.

Also, I refuse to use Donald's last name out of hatred for the man and his brand, FYI.

  • Not interested. The folks on Blue sky can keep their corporate social media.

  • Yeah, doesn't make sense no matter how you look at it.

    Trump was exceedingly, vulgarly, and graphically clear that a vote for him was a vote the policy of heavy-handed and widespread immigration crackdowns.

  • 99% of partisan voters do this, unfortunately.

    At least, that's the case if you look back at the last eight years. It's a testament to the grip that the rich have on the poor here that anyone still votes Democrat or Republican.

    BUT, I agree 100%. If your politics are deliberately harmful to marginalized groups, it's pretty fucked up to make the argument that "it's just politics".

  • lolololol

  • What a marvelously American headline.

  • 49% of voters are always really, really excited that the gun of government legislation is pointing at the target they think is deserving. It's partisanship.

  • Because it's a good product.

  • Me and my colleagues in tech call it the 'Granny Browser'.

    Either use Firefox/UBlock Origin or Brave. Brave's native adblock is good enough you don't need add-ons.

  • It feels that way because your social media feed is programmed to reinforce what you're already thinking and keep your emotions engaged, regardless of whether you're correct or not.

  • Unless you're a billionaire or willing to shoot someone vigilante-style, there's nothing you can do that's going to impact anyone outside of your own neighborhood.

  • The sad thing is that shit like this is more likely to get Elon Musk out than Congress, because all anyone seems to care about is Trump's ego.

  • Love it.

    The bastards' shitty little platform has no power if people can't use it.

  • That's true.

    We aren't and they are.

  • For the same reason that, even where abortion is legal, there are a zillion regulations governing clinics: you can make things effectively illegal by adding as many regulatory hurdles as possible.

  • It's wild watching people who don't consider themselves fascist kind of just cheering for it, because as with everything our government does, 50% don't care how cruel it is as long as said cruelty is pointed in the right direction. (Or what they think is the right direction.)

  • You can think that, but the overwhelming majority that voted against the state abortion ban would suggest you're wrong, but sure, keep swallowing everything your social media algorithm is telling you and don't give it any thought.

    From where I'm sitting, voting in a $15 minimum wage, required paid sick leave, and voting down an abortion ban objectively means we Missourians have done more for leftist politics than Democrats in DC, where they just expect you all to eat excuses.

  • It won't stand.

    Ours is a red state, but we voted down right to work, an abortion ban, and then voted to require a $15 minimum wage and paid sick leave.

    We're not fascists. Just, apparently, a state that got fed up with Democrats' excuses.

  • Yep, I know.

    Doesn't change facts. The judiciary is, by and large, clocking these unconstitutional power grabs. It just takes time, and you all are doomscrolling and pretending checks and balances no longer apply despite the abundant display to the contrary.

  • That's a good goal. I live solo and never had children and don't want a relationship, so for me, things are fairly simple. It's nice to not have responsibilities when the wealthy class is trying to seize more power.

    I'm just doing what I can for my neighbors in my own little corner of the world. No matter how bad things get, you can always do good with your own two hands.
