Freedom From Utility.

I'm 66. In my childhood, there was no question about vaccination, every child stood in lines to be vaccinated, they did it at the schools. The parents then remembered the horror of the time before vaccination. There were still people trapped in iron lungs, back then. People are stupid, now.

If trans people have the right to own their own bodies and take hormones and have surgery to become their appropriate sex... then cis women should likewise own their own bodies and have an abortion, join the military, vote, and play sports. THAT is why there is a war on trans people now.

The GOP wants to erase this in our history books, museums, and historic sites. The republican party is the party of white supremacy. If you vote for them or support them, or claim to be a republican, then you are also a white supremacist. There is no ethical way to be republican.

Fauci is a hero of science and medicine, and my sorrow at the American fascist regime persecuting him destroys what little faith I had in humanity.

This made my day. Goddamn, is this excellent. So mote it be.

This is my favorite commercial of all time, for any product, ever. It sums up life perfectly and precisely; from the moment the child first begins to scream at the dawn of awareness of their situation to the last groan of pain just before the end. At age 66, my appreciation of this has only grown.

Republicanism can be ended within our lifetimes. Support all progressive, socialist causes today!

I love this quote. Give'em hell, Harry. And you, too, Robert.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Any morning you can walk away from is a good morning.

Happy Colonizer's Day, or whatever.

July 4th: the day when true Americans mourn the loss of their nation to the fascist GOP coup that installed Trump as a dictator. Condolences on the 4th.

Make America socialist again! FDR Redux, please.

If you are a medical professional and you have ever allowed a patient to die because you were afraid that you would lose your license or job because of anti-abortion laws that made correct medical practice illegal or risky to your income, you are an evil piece of shit, period. Do no harm, remember?

No fireworks on the Fourth Of July. There is nothing to celebrate under fascist rule; make that clear. Make that obvious. No fireworks, no party. Mourn America on the Fourth.

Hey Queers: Failing to defend trans people will not save you when the GOP turns to making being gay or lesbian illegal. It will make you weaker, though, with nobody to fight with you.. We live together, we die together, and they think we are the same evil, no matter what. Remember that.

Beware the beast Trump, for he is the Devil's pawn. Alone among God's primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed. Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother's land. He will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him; drive him into jail, for he is the harbinger of death. - Zaius

No single human being should ever be a trillionaire. The fact that this has happened - at all - demonstrates the pathetic wretchedness of the species that allowed it to happen. Nobody is rioting, nobody is rising up, and there is no new 'French Revolution'. Fuck all 8.3 billion of you monkeys.

"The Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children." - Congressman Ted Lieu, 2026

Happy Pride Month!

Vote Blue Or Fuck You.

I don't care if people are here 'illegally'. Why should that even matter? Good on them! Nationalism is stupid. This I have always held true.

Public Toilets exist for the - public - and the public is diverse because it is composed of everyone; straight, gay, trans, nonbinary - everyone. All public restrooms should be all-gender ONLY. Bigots demanding sex/gender exclusive spaces are a minority and should go home and use their own toilets.

"Man cannot live without a permanent trust in something indestructible within himself, though both that indestructible something and his own trust in it may remain permanently concealed from him". - Franz Kafka, 1913

Republicans have taken away black voting rights, access to abortion, human rights for trans folk, protection from unlawful detainment and imprisonment, and will soon end birth control and marriage equality. How many rights do Americans need to lose, before they rise up and end this regime?

No, I didn't see a thing about it. You've lost your Constitution, your government, your nation. You have also lost your news media as well.

May Day: There were huge anti Trump protests all across America. Did you hear about it in the corporate media?

Mark Hamill knows what is up. No work. No shopping. No school. March if you can. The Trumpist GOP regime must be ended. This is how we start to do that.

Hey, hey, it's MAY DAY. You know what to do... No School! No Work! No Shopping! #TaxTheOligarchs

There is a nationwide general strike called for this upcoming May 1st. Join in to fight the evil Trump regime. No working, no buying anything, shut the goddamn country down! And if you can't completely commit, here are some ideas:
