Democrat, Puerto Rican. I'm just one angry American who believes you can't have taxation without representation. (In case you miss my point, I believe Puerto Rico should be a state with representation in Congress).

I support peaceful but annoying resistance from here on out. DO NOT BE VIOLENT. But do not assist. Make mistakes. Be Obtuse. Be Slow. Be overly detailed. Be polite and repeat instructions a lot. Do not write anything down. Be sloppy. Be annoying. We know who these people are. We can make life awful.

What do I see when I look across America right now? Fear. That is Trump’s legacy. Fear of the government. Fear of immigrants. Fear of crime. Fear of being fired. Everyone is afraid to be alive. It is awful. This reminds me of America in the 80s. I miss the Obama years. I hate it here. I hate Trump.

Fuck ICE. Fuck Donald Trump. Fuck this administration. I'll speak out against them as much as I can. I will oppose them as much as I can. They can come arrest me for exercising my fucking civil rights if they like. Either way, I'll do everything in my power to help elect a new government.

Growing up, I thought the dystopian novels I read would never come true. Now I'm living in them. Farenheit 451, Brave New World, 1984, Animal Farm, Nueromancer, Snowcrash, and more. I thought people would read these and realize this isn't the world we want to live in. I didn't realize no one reads.

Trump supporting Russia is a fucking tragedy. I hope MAGA is happy to see Ukraine fall and our assets going to support our adversaries in Russia and Iran. I loathe that fat old man in the White House and his shit administration.

Afternoon thought while running: how do we address the vast space between MAGA and the left? Is it a situation where we will just have to wait for this toxic group to die off? What would the culture war against them look like? How bad will it be with them living under Gen Z soon?

That Tesla demonstration I keep seeing makes me think of road maintenance. A car traveling over roads and sucking the ground up is going to do a number on a lot of asphalt roads. What happens when it pulls a chunk of crumbling road up into itself? What about the additional wear on the road?

The order to slow starlink came directly from the White House. Betraying allies and aligning with Russia right before midterms? What a brilliant strategy from the orange fat man in the White House. Spread the word, Russians are in the White House. Vote accordingly. #fucktrump

Fuck Bill Maher. That guy is no friend of those of us that want real change. I can’t watch him because he sounds like a typical boomer. Giving off attitudes out of date with reality on the ground. He would fucking die if he was working as a 20 year old in this world.

I have already voted for the election in California. I voted Democrat down the whole ticket. I abstained from voting in uncontested Republican elections or wrote in a name. Then came the slew of other things to vote on. I voted to increase taxes on rich wherever I could as well.

The betrayal of Ukraine through Elon by proxy is par for the course for America right now. All our allies should see this for what it is, a pure political attempt to align ourselves with Russia over oil. It shows that America is not to be trusted, which is always the case with selfish countries.

The Shane McGillis monologue on SNL was a classic example of male toxic behavior in its jokes. The whole monologue reminds me of what I hated in high school and college about hanging out with other men.

I will not celebrate Christopher Columbus. His arrival in the Americas started the centuries of exploitation and destruction of the Native Americans who lived here. The Spanish and their missionaries were a blight. Not to mention everything that has happened to Puerto Rico started with this.

I live in California, ICE is running rampant. Fuck ICE. Fuck anyone that supports this. It’s destroying families, removing workers and ruining business. If you support this, fuck you. You are what is wrong with America. Fuck the old fat man in the White House who is doing this to spread terror.

If you are in California, ICE is out in force. Be aware and spread the word. If you see them in your community share it with others. Help those who can’t go out or are afraid to do so. Be on your toes everyone. Do not assist them if they ask for directions, people, etc. ice is not your friend.

If the fat man in Washington wants to wish bad things on my state, I don't feel bad for wishing that bad things happen to him. He's a fat old man. Old people fall down and can't ge tup all the time.

Just saw Digger. It was super interesting and challenging. Not what I expected. It also is going to rub people the wrong way with its politics. If you liked birdman then I can recommend it. It’s surreal.

Listening to the Daily podcast this morning on the Cornell case. That university fucked up the handling of this case. The handling of this shows the problems with title 9 enforcement by an institution that has every interest in minimizing media exposure for incidents that occur on its campus.

That great Jobs report for August? Quietly revised down today to just 36,000 jobs. Hmm. Could it be that we can't trust the jobs report numbers used for marketing by the White House?

I watched Jack Smith today and what I saw was complete incompetence on the Republican questions. Then I saw an attempt to cover that up on Twitter and other platforms with outright lies. Then I heard a Republican say the lies from Twitter to my face about Jack Smith. They did not watch Jack testify.

I have no respect for this president, his administration or his Gestapo. The rampant incompetence makes me sick to be an American. Fuck him. Fuck his supporters. They are everything wrong with this country and are a severe problem for our democracy.

Seriously fuck the federal government and fuck the fat old man running it. As an American I have the right to say that. I have the right to protest this trash admin. I have the right to assemble and talk shit about them. I have the right to not support their illegal search and seizures.

Trump wants to ban CNN, MSNBC, and Politico from the White House. This is fascism and an attack on the 4th estate. CNN should give up trying to placate this fat old man and go on the offensive. This administration is lying and hiding shit all the time. All three should not play nice now.

Trump says he hates liberals. Good. I fucking hate him back. I hope that I can spend my life wiping out his legacy and making his memory toxic. I will out live the fat fuck. I look forward to a life of destroying the Trump name wherever I can find it. That would be a good life.

Star Trek turns 60 today, and the future it promised seems farther away than ever. A multicultural, multiethnic future where people work together to explore space and expand knowledge. A future without money or need, where people earn their place by merit and intellectual rigor. It's still a dream.

It’s Labor Day and today I want to celebrate unions across the country. Organized labor helps workers protect their rights, earn fair wages and fight back against corporations. Without unions we wouldn’t have the Protections we have for workers today.

Corporations like to talk about how greedy unions are and how they take money only for themselves. The fact is shareholders are the greedy ones and they drive down expenses to maximize profits at the expense of consumers and workers. Propaganda is used to make unions the bad guys.

I am sick of talking to people who still support Trump. Nothing makes me think less of you than praising him, flying a flag or wearing his merch. All you do is broadcast you are an idiot.
