Longtime defender of democracy and foe of fascism.
You may know me from my years of vivisecting Twitter trolls for your entertainment under various monikers.
Apparently the forearm avi became famous. Not sure why.
OG #Resistance
Fairly erudite, all in all.

I have no patience for the national political press. None. They have shown over the last eight years that they will choose spectacle and ratings over the health of our American democracy or their duty to speak truth to power. They've become courtiers of Washington, parasites on the body politic.

I support term limits for SCOTUS and I support immediately nominating and confirming four additional justices. The current six-zealot majority on the Supreme Court is absolutely out of control and trying to destroy our rights, freedoms, and ability to self-govern.

America does not do kings. To repeat (clears throat): WE DO NOT ACCEPT KINGS! We will NEVER kowtow to an authoritarian. We are not serfs. We are not peasants. We are not subjects to a crown or a dictator. Nor will we EVER accept such a thing. You hear me, MAGAts? Not ever. Not in a million years.

Republicans aspire to dictatorship. It's the line from Emperor Palpatine: "Once more the Sith shall rule the galaxy!... and we shall have peace."

We are Americans. The entire premise of our national identity is that we refuse to kowtow to kings. That the six-zealot SCOTUS majority absolutely ignored the Constitution and invented "total immunity" out of nothing runs counter to everything we are and stand for as a people. Fuck all of that.

No, the Supreme Court does not have the final say in how the American government is structured. We The People do. Those unelected and corrupt bastards can invent their anti-Constitutional bullshit all day, but ultimately power in the United States is OURS, not THEIRS. Use yours. Use it potently.

I don't care who the Democratic nominee is. I don't care if it's Joe Biden or Kamala Harris. I don't care if it's Gretchen Whitmer or Gavin Newsom. I don't care if it's a potted plant or a therapy dog. TRUMP MUST NOT WIN. The Republic ENDS if that criminal becomes dictator. Do you understand?

We are Americans. Our whole national identity is premised on the raised fist shouting "WE WILL HAVE NO KING!" The six-zealot majority on the Supreme Court just tried to install a king over us. Fuck that and fuck them. Under NO circumstance will we tolerate a goddamn monarch.

It is much easier to effect change from the majority than from the minority. So win people over. Build coalitions. Find common ground with those who don't agree with you on everything. That's the art of politics, and it's how you apply force to the lever that can move the world to where you want.

I'm sorry, but right-wing "alpha male" influencers are so laughably pathetic. No, I'm never going to respect your poserishness. You wear camera makeup, make your bones from YouTube videos, and pose for Instagram photos like a teenage girl does. Alpha Male my ass, bitchmen.

Every time I hear a pundit or reporter talk about the 2024 election like it's a horse race, I want to smack them upside the head. Who do you think the fascists will be coming for first, dipshit media parasite, me or you?

The right-wing screechers are not subtle about the fact that what they find most unacceptable about Biden's age is the possibility of a competent black woman assuming the presidency. The racists and misogynists would rather eat their own severed penises than acknowledge a black woman's authority.

I'm not concerned about Biden's age because Harris is a bad-ass woman who will be ready to take over if it ever is needed.

The political media in this country is absolutely awful, preferring the spectacle of Trump, even though it means the end of democracy, to the staid good governance of Biden, because he's boring and not good for their clickbait business model.

I'm perfectly fine with people acting upon the politicos that they can influence. Public officials ought to be respondent to the coalitions of voters that elect them. When the rubber hits the road, though, it'll need to be all-hands-on-deck to fend off the fascistic takeover of America yet again.

It is not your job to fix the world. We each only have a limited reach within our sphere of influence. Do what you can with what you have and where you are. That suffices. Then, as you do that, your reach will expand, and your ability to combat evil elsewhere will increase.

It is not my place to build the better world, but to tear down the worst parts of the past that require culling in order to make room for the better. I leave it to others to parse out a more just, a fairer, a more verdant future. I will tear down the bigotries of yesterday one Nazi-fool at a time.

No, the world will never NOT be filled with assholes. It is not your job to bemoan the perpetual assholery of your fellow humans. It is your job to get up every day and, striving to become your best self, to put some counter-assholery into the world. That's not too heavy a lift. That you can do.

There is absolutely no reason for the Supreme Court to take up the idiotic Presidential Immunity claim. The D.C. Circuit Court gave a masterful and unanimous explanation of why such a concept is ludicrous. It means at least four Supreme Court Justices want to replace democracy with dictatorship.

Bothsidesism isn't journalism. Bothsidesism isn't punditry. Bothsidesism isn't comedy. Bothsidesism is lazy and disingenuous bullshit, meant to spread despair and lower resistance to the attempts of authoritarians to subjugate us all. Fuck bothsidesism. Fuck it forever.

No, the Trump Presidency was not, as MAGAts are pretending "good times with mean tweets." This time in the Trump Presidency, February three years in, the world was crashing to a halt with pandemic, lockdown, recession, & a self-centered chaos-idiot in the White House who suggested we drink bleach.

My new favorite word to mock trolls with is VATNIK. "Vatnik (Russian: ватник, pronounced [ˈvatʲnʲɪk]) is a political pejorative used in Russia and other post-Soviet states for steadfast jingoistic followers of propaganda from the Russian government."

Hmmm. Well, you're not a loser. We each explore our humanity in different ways. There's so much of us to discover, so much paradox, so much delicious contradiction and conflict. Find the ways that most fulfill your contradictions and paradoxes. That will suffice, both for that one moment and after.
