enjoying my final evening as a citizen of India with my man Jeremy who’s gonna accompany me tomorrow to Philly to the oath ceremony. after that we party
1 we’re well on our way to being a theocracy. 2 white Christians still don’t understand the idea of power imbalance. the idea that if a coach prays on the sidelines students might feel forced to pray with him
the emergency jan 6 hearing tomorrow makes me feel like they’ve discovered something explosive in the documentarians film that required an additional june season finale
suburban democrats are switching to the republican party because of dumbfuck garbage like “defund the police”. i mean its not like we warned performative blue bubble leftists that this would happen.
this is pretty much all you need to read that explains why trump does the things he does. which is something i have been screaming about incessently since even before the 2016 election
if you don’t want the DOJ to prosecute trump because:
1 it will appear politically motivated 2 it will deepen political divides 3 it will cause political violence
then you are a:
1 terrorist appeaser 2 terrorist appeaser 3 terrorist appeaser
the first amendment is why I have decided to tie my horse to this wagon. without the first amendment you have fascism
firefly season is my favorite season

grilled chicken hearts and sauted sea beans with spring garlic for my loved ones. happy Bourdain day
my town summer beer fest is back for the first time after a hiatus of three years not sure why. very excited to finally drink some beer. I’ve heard good things about it.
there’s only one aspect of my belief system that hasn’t changed at all in the past twenty five years of my life and that’s a seething hatred of religion and the very idea of god
I will never give up on this country just because it’s the only one founded on rock solid ideals for the most part. it is tragic that one narcissistic fascist almost brought it down in a mere four years but we need to put in the work and get our fucking shit together. it can be done even if only because the alternative is unthinkable. stop recording, save, replay, believe.
if you won’t let a user design your product why would you vote a populist into government
so how many kids are Clarence Thomas and his insurrectionist wife gonna foster
the fact that any American has to live in fear that their human rights could be suddenly and wantonly withdrawn is a fucking embarrassment.
be loud in your beliefs. loudness works. if your beliefs have substance but you’re not loud you’re not gonna achieve shit. the fascists have no substance but they’re loud. their orange god is loud, that’s literally the only “skill” he possesses. that and the ability to make people hate with inhuman ferocity. but even that, because he’s loud. attend every protest you can because there will be many. show the fascists no one likes them and no one likes what they stand for and liberals might have lost the battle but we’ll regroup and we’ll be back.
this is how the Republican party dies and good fucking riddance

i cant even imagine how terrified the LGBTQ community must be right now knowing the supreme court is likely coming for their rights next

what the fuck kind of shithole country have we created where a neighbor reads the news while taking a walk and breaks down into tears
its a fucking shit thing to have to say considering i’ll be a citizen in 4 days but this country is a fucking embarassment
