Did congress authorize this fucking war where American lives will undoubtedly be lost? If not, why the fuck do we have a congress? Why are we paying very large salaries and benefits to all these assholes since they do absolutely NOTHING!

Oh my god Donald Trump has contradicted something he said in the past, I can’t wait for the hypocrisy to take him down at last

The funny thing about a certain type of angry conspiracy guy is that they’re literally being confronted with an elite paedophile ring and a tyrannical government at the same time right now, and because it isn't being done by the people they wanted it to be done by they’re all being pussies about it

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

Our city has been over-run by Nazi ghouls kidnapping people to traffic them to concentration camps and other countries.
Did you ever think you'd see the day when masked gunmen jump out of moving vehicles and chase families down the street in your own neighborhood?
FUCK ICE forever and ever.

Sometimes all you can do is make the world 0.0000000000001% less awful by being a good person and it feels very meaningless but it’s also the only thing that really matters

Much to the consternation of the dogs, I took my new-to-me waterproof film camera out into the ocean and swam with them this morning. I still have to practice with it, but swimtime has already taken on a whole new vibe πŸ“Έ

anyway i really loved the movie i thought it was beautiful meditation on life as a creator and what happens to people who can only really express themselves through art. yes self indulgent but i say go for it. LOVE IT when creators self indulge to say 'this story is important and i am important too'

kinda goes with what i always say about self reviews. YOU GET A VOICE TOO AND YOU CAN USE IT TO SAY YOU ARE AWESOME. GIVE YOURSELF FIVE STARS. you worked hard and you deserve it. just dont think artists should feel bad about thinking theyre amazing because they are. were all literally one of a kind

This Veterans Day, I’m thinking of the millions of Americans who have served in uniform β€” and how our government is failing them right now.

Words aren’t enough, we need actions. Fund the VA. Fund mental healthcare. And end endless wars.

Oh also - lawyers aren’t allowed to tell jurors this so i do:

β€œJury nullification” is a fancy phrase that just means, β€œThis jury decided not to convict and there’s nothing anyone can do about that.”

If we think a law is unjust or unjustly enforced, we can just not convict. We don’t need a reason.

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong,

it is right.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness,

it is a strength.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited,

it is unlimited.

Treating the Declaration of Independence’s list of grievances like a to do list.

"He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing … his invasions on the rights of the people."

"For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate …".
