Why I Am No Longer a Centrist or Moderate I no longer identify myself as a centrist or moderate because I have come to believe it is not a true representation of my views.

As we watch billions of Americans' taxpayer dollars go up in smoke while destroying lives and the stability of the world, this message feels especially relevant.

OATH Your one-stop-shop for political giving

I just used the Oath App to donate to Democratic primary winners that have a good chance of winning. If you have never used the Oath App, it's brilliant. It takes the guesswork out of whether your money is being used well.

The other day I uttered "My boyfriend's husband..." during a chat with someone I don't know well and I could see their head tilt in question but they just went with it.

No Kings As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

Please show up at a No Kings event in your area on March 28th.

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate β€” and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.

He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.

The grift continues.

Check out Anthropic's Claude AI. I like it. Only other general AI I have used is OpenAI's Chat GPT. I like Claude better. I think Anthropic has a stronger moral center too.

A Jan. 6 rioter pardoned by Trump was sentenced to life in prison for child sex abuse Since receiving presidential pardons, dozens of former Capitol rioters have gotten into more legal trouble. In Florida, Andrew Paul Johnson was sentenced to life in prison for child sex abuse.

Be best.

This will be of particular interest to my queer and kinky friends and followers, but I think it's a fascinating story generally. My friend Ryan James Abraham has published his memoir, Deeper. It's already reached number one status on Amazon's New Release Pop Culture list.

To everyone in the Trump administration, Noem is simply the first big instance of Trump throwing people under the bus. More of you will be next. He values no one but himself. He will scapegoat anyone. Noem was admittedly among the more vile, but Trump will turn on anyone. Be forewarned.

Not sure why. Link works for me. If you do a search for Deeper: An Anti-Memoir by Ryan James Abraham, you'll see it.

Am I Weird Enough? Despite valuing weirdness and nonconformity, I have drifted toward a more predictable life. This might mirror a broader cultural decline in deviance but is this something I should accept or resist.

Trump’s war has begun & he has no plan or way to stop it. The Iranian regime will not collapse from air attacks. Trump promised peace & delivered war. We were told Trump abhors war. He does not. All fascists love war. Trump is a fascist & America is at war.
