Good morning 🖤

Commercial banks donated $23,992,279 to elect Republicans last year.

Today, Republicans voted to end the cap on overdraft fees.

This is what corruption looks like.

"We have to allow this [org/shelter/hospital/school] to erase the trans community and comply to save everyone else"

Absolutely not.

I will not allow my community to be jettisoned to save yourself. Yes, if you don't, other groups may suffer, and you might too.

But we are all in this together.

Thanks for teaching me that being weird should be celebrated

Travel safe!

There are towns all over this country that are overpoliced, paid by our taxes.
Heed the words below b/c those police may obey.

We're kinda screwed.

THE UGLY FACE OF FASCISM Our gutless media needs to STOP surrendering to the enemy of the people ...

📌From my latest. Chilling stuff, folks:

“… Trump would also consider suing social media influencers and others ...”

"So essentially everybody in America is now a target of this odious thug, and that my friends is what Hitler’s Germany looked like in the late-1930s.

They will blame everything but their beloved guns. Pathetic!

People are the reason we can't have nice things.

I am a big fan of science.

The Man is keeping us all down.

Fair. I'm certainly not a huge comic book nerd, i may have missed a better choice.
