I've always been a "no-nonsense" type of person, but recent events in my life have severely reinforced that personality trait, and I fully expect it will continue as a lifelong trait.

The best way to approach me is directly and without artifice. I don't have the patience for euphemistic folderol.

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

It's really fresh to be lectured about living within our means by Pops gold-lacquered, shits-in-his-diaper Trump when he's encrusting the innards of the White House in gold on the taxpayer's dime. I'll be damned if I'm going to be told anything by this two-bit, Adderall-snorting lech who hasn't ever had to push his own damn buggy through a grocery store.

I didn’t know it but now I need a baby donkey 😂💗

On this day in 1916, President Woodrow Wilson signed the Organic Act, officially creating the National Park Service to protect and preserve America’s natural wonders and historic treasures “for the enjoyment of this and future generations.”

Birthright citizenship is a Constitutional RIGHT. Any attack on it is an attack on us all.

This is an attempt by far-right justices to attack immigrant communities and remove protections from any American who questions Trump.

Your rights are nonnegotiable. We can’t compromise on that basic fact.

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander: "I don't think the line for the [Democratic] party right now is between progressives and moderates; I think it's between fighters and folders."

If your leaders keep failing you by being weak, and everyone makes fun of them for being weak, and they lose all the battles they should have won? Then it’s long past time to replace your leaders. because they are obviously very bad leaders. You don’t owe them a goddamn thing.

Name this band: The Four Treasons?

The President's disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers. He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

This is beyond cruel, especially for young folks who are going through it. Cutting off LGBTQ+ youth from specialized suicide prevention help is a death sentence disguised as bureaucracy.

Shame on every official who signed off on this. You’re not protecting children, you’re abandoning them.
