The first step to making society a better place to live, is to start caring about things that don’t directly affect you.

Fuck it.

The police seized all of my lasers during this operation. I have a court date in my future. #FreeLordLaser #FreeLadyLaser

I will tell the whole story later. But it was all worth it to release these images on this day.

A video arguing that women shouldn’t be able to vote was just shared by Trump’s Secretary of Defense, the guy in charge of our whole military.

And Democratic Party leaders still can’t stand up to this administration?! Our rights are on the line and all our party leaders offer us is silence.

I sold this small puffin painting today... It's heading for Scotland.

We are still fighting the confederates...they weren't punished well enough and they never went away.

Mike Johnson hit with new accusation showing ‘clear-cut violation’ of federal law House Speaker Mike Johnson has been accused of using campaign money to pay his rent in what the government watchdog group Campaign Legal Center described as a “clear-cut violation of federal campaign ...

Seems Mike Johnson has been using campaign funds to pay his rent in DC, which is a major legal no no.

It astounds me that one of most powerful men in the country is part of an organization that wants to turn back the clock on women’s rights over 100 years.

This is where we are today & you can lay it at the feet of the most destructive political force in U.S. history: DJT

The sordid origin of 'America First,' explained by a historian "They were not keen on fighting Nazis."

New in PN: The sordid origin of 'America First,' explained by a historian

“Mainstream opinion in the '30s wasn't pro-Nazi but it wasn't anti-Nazi in any meaningful way either. People would say, ‘Germany for the Germans — what’s offensive about that?’ Nationalism has a certain accepted sensibility."

I’m honestly still kind of reeling from “may every day be another wonderful secret” to Epstein

WHAT THE ABSOLUTE FUCK?!?

He was already a vindictive hateful prick. Being in a wheelchair provides him the excuse and opportunity to no longer hide his vileness.
