I'm beginning to think shadow banning is a real thing, because despite 50k followers earned over 15 years, my posts here get zero engagement. My TikTok was hacked and I can't get it back. And I've had no traction on Bluesky or threads either. I'm just shouting into the void.

We should ask anyone defending Epstein or Trump, like Megyn Kelly today, WHY they think it's okay for adult men to want girls, but not for adult men and women to want each other. Bring this attitude into the light and challenge it.

It's not hypocritical to think a trans or gay kid is a deviant, and Trump is a great man, because in their worldview all men are naturally like Trump, and only trauma, sin, or perversion is at the root of happily adjusted trans & gay people in consenting relationships.

The difference, or course, is agency and consent. But again, in their worldview men "naturally" want girls and vice versa. Which is why all cries of hypocrisy fall on deaf ears.

In their worldview, the only real & dangerous deviations are homosexuality and gender variance. Or engaging with pre-pubescent children. They see those as unnatural. And aligned. Hence the constant conflation with natural sexual and gender variance with dangerous deviancy.

AND it's assumed that young women naturally WANT the attention and protection of older men. The only difference between Leavitt's 32 year age gap marriage and what Epstein & Trump engage with is an arbitrary legal distinction, one they want to violate as proof of their power.

Many believe it is "natural" for men to be sexually attracted to girls from puberty on, and that stigmatization, even of acting upon it, is an arbitrary social construct (eg variable "age of consent" laws). It's frowned upon, but understood, because it's "natural".

Musk, who spent $270 million to get Trump elected, is now in line to become a trillionaire. Meanwhile, 60% of our people are living paycheck to paycheck. Americans understand we're living in a rigged economy. Together, we can and must change that.

At worst it will make us targets, and significantly inhibit our free movement, or ability to travel or work abroad, and make us terrified of any kind of interactions that could require us to show identification. And it's hard not to believe that's the whole point.

At best this is going to cause a lot of delays, and confusion for government officials who will question the legitimacy of our documents because of the mismatch between appearance and the marker. Plus our constant mortification at having to explain.

This Supreme Court ruling is either stunningly ignorant or deliberately cruel. Does the majority on highest court in the land really think there would be no consequence to my having an M on my passport? Or do they want those consequences but lack the courage to claim it?

Electoral college has anointed the popular vote loser POTUS twice in 25 years. U.S. Senate gives 294K Wyomingites the same representation as 19.7M Californians. SCOTUS Justices are partisans appointed to life terms. Citizens United gave the wealthy absolute electoral power.

Retired intelligence analysts confirm what the political scientists are telling us — and what the world outside is telling us — the goal of these people is the end of law, the end of democracy, and the end of a recognizable republic. https://t.co/RQW7qAIjj3

“At this moment in time, the ballroom is really the President’s main priority.” — Karoline Leavitt Not wages, education, utility bills, health care, housing, food insecurity, veterans, child care, climate disasters, tariffs, national security, or a gov shutdown. A ballroom.

For the billionaires who sat behind Trump when he was inaugurated, things are going pretty well. Since Election Day:   -Elon Musk became $186 billion richer. -Mark Zuckerberg became $47 billion richer. -Jeff Bezos became $10 billion richer.   How are YOU doing?

Jeff Bezos, worth $240 billion, sailed on his $500 million yacht to a $55 million wedding in Venice to give his wife a $5 million ring & spends $12.7 million on union busting so he can replace workers with robots. His tax rate: 1.1%. 5 words: Tax billionaires out of existence.

The entire budget of USAID was $35 billion. Instead, we're giving it to Trump's buddy in Argentina. Talk about waste, fraud, and abuse...

St. Jude reduced its budget by $150million because the White House blindly cut funding to children’s cancer research. #priorities

A general strike stopped the fascist coup in S. Korea. A general strike is how the Italian people forced their rightwing PM to send a Navy ship protect the flotilla. It's the only thing that'll be effective v Trump.

Trump on No Kings: “The demonstrations were very small, very ineffective.” Really? 7 million people came out for the largest demonstration day in our history. Americans are clear. They don’t want authoritarianism, oligarchy or a doubling in their insurance premiums.
