I have re-aligned myself with the Democratic Socialists of America.

A Call to Action
If you’re reading this and you live in the United States, I urge you to join a labor union today.
For historical and philosophical reasons, I chose the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW). We are a nation in crisis. Authoritarianism and corporatocracy now run nakedly rampant in America, threatening what little remains of our democracy and freedom.
I stand resolutely in opposition to this obscenity.
I stand for individual freedom, collective action, and shared responsibility. I stand for freedom from want — for public libraries, for the free press. I stand for the right to be who I am and for others to do the same. To become our best selves and love whomever we want.
I stand for a better future — one that prioritizes rational thought over ideology, and principle over loyalty. I stand for immigrant rights, due process, and the rule of law. I stand against the rule of the billionaire class. I stand for universal healthcare.
I stand against unaccountable power, for strong checks and balances.
I believe in a society that harnesses the innovative spirit capitalism promises, without its murderous indifference and sociopathy toward people. I believe in the utopian future imagined in Star Trek: an anarchist, non-hierarchical federation rooted in secular humanism — with structure only where necessary, never imposed.
I stand for human dignity. I stand for our shared humanity. I stand for honesty, integrity, and authenticity.
I stand for love.

Say it with me: Socialism is not a bad word. ✊🌹

One of my favorite signs spotted today in Seattle.

The PEOPLE are the final check. I’m told there were around 15,000 people here with me today.
-
It’s was so filled up here at the Seattle Center protest today we couldn’t even get near (or see) the main speaker! ✊
-
Saturday is a national day of action. Go protest! ✊

If you want something even closer to home, consider volunteering at or donating to:
🥫 A local food bank
📚 Your local library
🗞️ An independent newspaper
These are everyday pillars of dignity, truth, and knowledge. Support them if you can. ❤️

If you’re looking to support or join some good organizations, I’d suggest:
🌹 IWW
⚖️ ACLU
🔐 EFF
🪐 The Planetary Society
🌐 Wikipedia
🏛️ Internet Archive
🕵️ ProPublica
Each is part of the puzzle in the fight for truth, justice, freedom, and the future. ✊

I’ve only gotten bluer over time, but then I got so blue that I got pissed off and turned red. But not THEIR red. Our red. ✊🌹

I’m no Rand Paul fan, but this speech is mostly right. He voted with Dems to try to stop the Trump tariffs and to reassert Congress’s role in enacting them. The Smoot-Hawley Act was Congress, not the President. Power of taxation is constitutionally assigned to the House: youtu.be/LeZdMCTIc…

Seattle voters: What’s King County Proposition 1 about? The 4/22 special election with the AFIS levy. I understand it’s a fingerprint system that’s existed since 1986, but I’m deeply conflicted about supporting any measure that might be used to help ICE deport people without due process. Thoughts?

No greater understanding of the issues was provided.

Take the 7 o’clock KING 5 news tonight. They covered THAT Cory Booker spoke on the Senate floor this week during his filibuster. And they tried to spin that into some kind of controversy about the rules, but they didn’t cover AT ALL the SUBSTANCE of WHY he was speaking. No viewer was served here.

Media consolidation has been so damaging to this country. I’ve been listening to AM/FM radio lately as well as catching local TV broadcast news. You either get bludgeoned with right-wing talk shows or you get local coverage that is SHAMEFULLY DISHONEST blatant corporate propaganda.

Go ahead and try to spin this protest as antisemitic. I dare you. Very courageous and cunning on the part of the students. www.democracynow.org/2025/4/3/…
