Always funny how the "big tent" seems to never have room for anyone to the left of Nixon. Anyway, as long as we're shunning people, I'd rather shun the website that platforms TERFs.

The people accused of trying to “force a secularist gloss on the First Amendment” have a name: the Founding Fathers. They wrote a secular Constitution that protects Christians, believers of all kinds, and nonbelievers alike.

Facts spoken by an ex-trumper...

The reason abolition is scary is because we've all been told the US prison system is normal and we're all in danger without it. That's a lie. Prison labor is a $9 billion industry annually. That's why they lie to you. We don't need prisons. We need healthcare, housing, and education for all.

Dear Iran, Tell this maniac you will only talk to Obama so we can all watch his fucking head explode.

GOP, then: Obama solved the problem of a nuclear Iran by sending millions of dollars in cash on pallets to ink the JCPOA deal. Imprudent and wasteful! GOP, now: It’s prudent to spend $200B and untold troop casualties to solve the problem of a nuclear Iran.

Most California voters support the state’s newly proposed billionaire tax, according to new polling. Meanwhile, rich Californians are plotting a $500M slush fund to influence the state's politics. So they can't afford a wealth tax, but they'll spend a fortune buying elections? See the problem...

Fuck Hot Wheels.

If I were in Trump's Cabinet, I would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th Amendment. This is completely, utterly unhinged. He's already killed thousands. He's going to kill thousands more.

It is worth noting that advice like this overly focuses on individual effort compared to systemic changes and government policies like equal pay, higher minimum wages, affordable housing, union benefits, as well as funding for childcare, public education, and public transportation.
