Answering this in public:

Their endgame is preserving capitalism, for perhaps three more generations, in the face of quite literally, the end of the world.

The planet is boiling; capitalism goes or we do. The capitalists have made their choice, but they are quite aware that seven billion lemmings are not going to vote the preservation of a wealthy ruling class ahead of pure survival.

Ergo, you must not be allowed to choose. Hence, fascism.

Is it nuts? Absolutely. But LOOK AT OUR RICH PPL?

OTD in 1961 white supremacists rioted because two Black students—Charlayne Hunter & Hamilton Holmes—registered at University of Georgia.

They didn't riot because they were denied rights, education, or justice—but because Black people wanted equality.

Mr. Holmes became Dr. Holmes and passed away in 1995. And Ms. Hunter became a world class journalist and is still with us today.

This isn't ancient history, it's contemporary reality.

Kyrsten Sinema has been planning this move for years. She’s been openly moving toward this with every hypocritical, self-serving move she’s made. This has been the most cynical marketing effort in American politics and the worst kept secret in D.C.

She hasn’t been a Democrat for years but even “independent” is inaccurate. That word suggests an openness. Sinema’s true political affiliation is herself. Her own narcissism is her political party. Her entire platform is her self-preservation.

The Respect for Marriage Act has just passed the House, 258-169, including 39 Republicans.

It will protect millions of LGBTQ families who otherwise would not have that protection. Senator Tammy Baldwin deserves enormous credit for her leadership in making this happen.

It is a very good thing that this bill is being passed, but it is also a signal of future obstacles. Do not get complacent. This does not end any battles for LGBTQ rights, but it does better prepare us for the battles to come.
