I have long red hair and a bushy red beard and I'm a dirty commie. I love dogs and enjoy brewing beer. I support Arsenal FC. I often get mistaken for a conservative because I criticize liberals a lot, but I am, in fact, a communist.

It's the waxing power of corporations, waning prospects of the working class, and the unwillingness of both major political parties to push back in the slightest way. It's the media publishing the names and faces of the shooters even after promising they would stop, because clicks over kids. 2/2

Here's my hot take... It's neither guns nor mental health, it's our culture. It's a country that has seldom in its nearly 300 year history been at peace. It's a country that knows no way to solve a problem but to declare war on it. It's the ever escalating militarization of our police. 1/2

It's honestly a little weird to me to even call it Black history within the context of US history because since 1619 the Black community has been literally foundational to our entire national project, and that's well before we even actually had a nation-state... It's racism all the way down.

A lot of y'all have completely unrealistic conceptions of house cats so here's some facts for ya: House cats are not apex predators, they are definitely in the middle of their food chain, not the top. House cats are, by and large, terrified of rats. House cats are not likely to defeat raccoons.

Aha, so as a ginger I have no compelling reason not to simply patronize the local library. It's all coming into focus! 😂

I know I shouldn't kink-shame but your obsession with publicly humiliating yourself is pretty embarrassing

Apropos of nothing, divorce rates have been on the decline since the 90s. I guess that's another thing we pesky Millennials killed 😂

Trump says he will "try". He makes any manner of bombastic claims about what we"will" or "is going to" do... like build a big, beautiful wall. But show Putin who's boss? He'll try. I'll tell you this, I don't see why he would do. www.bbc.com/news/article...

There are a couple other features that differentiate fascism from garden variety totalitarianism, notably constant allusions to a mythic bygone glory era (make Americagreat *again*) and the identification of scapegoated groups who are simultaneously contemptibly weak and an existential threat. 🤔🤔🤔
