to rule them all

(paraphrasing James Baldwin)

I'm never in despair for the world.

Enraged, yes - I'm frequently enraged.

But never despairing.

I can't afford despair.

You can't tell your kids

that there's no hope.

Stay alert,

and work the problem.

Because one day

we'll wake up

Let's say you're in a room with 400 other Americans

• 36 don't have healthcare insurance
• 48 live at or under the poverty line
• 85 are illiterate or semi-literate
• every other day, 1 is injured or killed by gunshot

... but 2 of them are trans, so you decide that ruining their lives is your main concern.

You believe Democrats can create a catastrophe-level storm,

We have to stomp them so bad

their DNA mutates.

Overheard

I've heard people comparing

Trump with Satan.

Yeah, he's one evil son of a bitch,

but surely he's not as evil as Trump.

Overheard

When the guy offering you salvation

threatens you with unbearable suffering
