Yes, I do think that every human being deserves to be fed, warm, and housed just because they’re alive. That’s a core part of my belief system actually.

Hey pals, give me a hot take.

Here’s one of mine: Diet Pepsi is better than Diet Coke

I can't stress enough that Black people in the US are less likely to believe untrue conspiracy theories than white people, not because Black people have more inherent discernment. That's not a real thing. There is no discernment gene.

It's because Black people are inoculated against US media lies.

Billionaires own the food…

Billionaires are the problem.

Strangely unpopular opinion: having a spouse and children doesn’t preclude you from being a bad person.

Crappy people get married all the time and if you can reproduce the β€œconventional” way, it’s not like they put you through the Asshole Detector Test before they let you have a kid.

Let me just be clear, Charlie Kirk could not have possibly had less in common with Jesus Christ.

He rejected empathy, compassion, peace, and practical community outright and advocated for death, destruction, violence, division, poverty and inhospitality at every turn.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

To kill democracy, you attack the free speech.
To kill democracy, you silence dissent.
To kill democracy, you take control of the media, and manipulate it.

Please recognize:
We are at war now, and we must fight with everything we have to save our democracy.
If we do not fight back, we cannot win.

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.

Charlie Kirk was a cruel, racist, xenophobic, morally bankrupt asshole. He was a horrible person.

But the thing about civil rights is that horrible people get them too. And I don’t want to live in a country where we don’t have the civil right to not be gunned down in the street for what we believe.

Harvard Ends Undergraduate Minority Recruitment Program as Trump Targets Race in Admissions | News | The Harvard Crimson By ending the minority recruitment program in May, Harvard shuttered a more than 50-year-old initiative to encourage minority high school students to apply.

i have said this before but when β€œgetting rid of race in admissions” for the administration means β€œyou can’t even try to reach out to underrepresented communities and encourage them to apply and if you do it is illegal discrimination against white people” then the actual goal here is segregation

Florida bans "The Diary of Anne Frank" in school libraries. Whoever made this decision should have to eat every page of that amazing book, page by page.

My insta algorithm keeps showing me reels about falling love with men, and I’m not sure if it’s forgotten I’m gay or circled around to thinking I’m a gay man.

The list of things Trump cares about is one item long: himself.

You could be his most fervent, devoted, influential supporter and he would slit your throat without blinking if it offered the slightest benefit to him.

Because according to Trump and his lackeys, good government is handing out more money to the richest people in the country at the expense of our poorest citizens.
