Vancouver BC. Progressive. I stand with the marginalized & abused, against the abusers, gross bullies, & harassers. Just here mainly for the news & brilliant opinions. & to vent the odd dumb snark. Sorry not interested in DMs.

As anyone who knows about ordinary home building & bylaws knows : legislators have elaborate literally “totalitarian” dictatorial power over home building for ordinary citizens. So there’s zero reason that ordinary citizens can’t righteously demand that billionaire data centers have equivalent laws.

To the very limited extent that the GOP cares about violence against women and minors - especially sexually-related - they think women and minors are responsible for bringing the violence on themselves. Look no further than Dershowitz, who characterized Epstein’s minor victims, as “prostitutes”.

We're near the ten-year anniversary of this interview, which was viewed as wildly controversial at the time. It led to hit pieces on me from liberal outlets like The New Republic as well as death threats. Now it's seen as conventional wisdom -- but it always was!

RFK Jr’s favourite ! Here the multimillionaire nepo-creep RFK Jr is bashing ordinary struggling Americans 🇺🇸 for having the temerity to whine about meat prices. “Let them eat liver” ! Lunatic RFK Jr is an absolutely 100% pure rank piece of shit. How do Americans 🇺🇸 tolerate this shit ?

Official Acts are acts taken on behalf of the United States 🇺🇸, in his capacity as a sworn representative of the US 🇺🇸. Acts done only on his own behalf are obviously not “official” acts on behalf of the United States 🇺🇸. (Anyone who @s me about this, is an unserious pathetic idiot)
