If you ignore politics, you’re admitting you’re privileged enough not to care. For others, it’s life or death, freedom or oppression. Silence isn’t neutrality—it’s betrayal. If you truly care about people, stand up, speak out, and fight for the world they deserve. Lives are on the line. #politics

Is she a Zionist? Is that confirmed? Because I def don’t agree with that at all and would hate to be as supportive as I have been if she is actually one.

Mississippi’s ‘Erection Act’ flips the script: if women’s bodies are policed, why not men’s? A bold call for equality in reproductive laws. Go Mississippi Senator Bradford Blackmon! #ReproductiveRights #Equality

Agreed, 17.50 minimum wage if not more, is long overdue, plus stronger refundable tax credits can ease the burden on working families. And tipping should always be a bonus, not a crutch, with strict penalties for management stealing tips. Workers deserve respect and fair pay.

The Constitution holds its ground: birthright citizenship stays. This ruling sets a strong precedent, executive orders can’t rewrite the 14th Amendment. #ConstitutionWins #GoodPrecedent

But let’s raise the federal minimum wage above $7.25 an hour first, and make sure it’s a livable wage adjusted to inflation. Thanks! #raiseminimumwage #livablewage

Tipping: the outdated tradition where we subsidize businesses so workers can afford rent. Born from racism, sustained by greed, time to scrap it and pay people real wages. Because your server shouldn’t rely on your bad math skills to survive. #OneFairWage #EndTheTippedMinimumWage

Track US politician stock trades Track US politician trades for free with Capitol Trades. Discover which Stocks/Assets/Companies/Issuers politicians are buying or selling.

Politicians can buy & trade stocks in industries they literally regulate. There should be a law against it, but guess who writes the laws? Time to demand a government that works for us, not their pockets. They are supposed to be civil servants right? #BanCongressTrading

There is something hypnotic about the dip pen's precision, the inks raw edge in a way brings an almost rebellious pulse. I also love that there is some timeless culture mixed with a modern edgy art style ahhh this is wonderful, thank you for sharing your art.

I also very much wanted to have a respectful conversation, I thought with the first reply to my comment I was going to be able to have a civil debate, I was mistaken it seems.

Merit-based hiring assumes we all start from the same place, but systemic barriers exist. Diversity and inclusion aren’t about lowering standards—they’re about recognizing that talent comes in many forms and breaking down the walls that prevent many from even getting a chance to compete.

Deploying 1,500 troops to the U.S.-Mexico border is a waste of resources and a political stunt. Militarizing the border does nothing to address the root causes of migration—it only escalates fear and division.

Ah yes, because nothing says ‘land of the free’ like rolling back 60 years of progress toward equality. Maybe next he’ll bring back typewriters and call it innovation.

Exactly! Priorities are completely backward. Instead of investing in education, healthcare, or infrastructure, they’re throwing billions at performative border stunts. Teachers deserve better, maybe they should start calling themselves ‘border security’ to get funding.
