A college buddy asked me about my transition from a racism-is-bad liberal in the 1990s to a much more left lefty today lol. Found myself talking about police violence, the horrific attacks on trans people, and the role of billionaires in making so many things worse. No one gets left behind.

The older I get, the more clear it is that all our safety and well-being is intertwined. The same forces pushing racism are targeting trans people and immiserating the disabled and extracting everything they can from all of us. We gotta stand up for everyone because everyone is all of us.

That's why I generally vote for the furthest left candidate on my ballot - because I'm looking for the person who's gonna throw the least number of people under the bus. And that's why I yell at whoever represents me whenever they throw anyone under the bus. No one goes under the fucking bus.
