-I believe homophobes, transphobes, and anti-choice chuds belong at The Hague

-Keep your religion to yourself unless we're talking about religion specifically

-White supremacy is a disgusting scourge

Before you follow me:

-I'm not MAGA

-I'm not a liberal

-I am registered with the Green Party (I know others having free will & making choices you can't control is a big problem for many of you)

-I'm not nice to MAGA (red or blue)

-I'm a human rights absolutist and talk horrible shit to fascists
