 Good guys don’t bomb hospitals 
 Good morning everyone except Rishi Sunak, PM of the UK and transphobic POS 
 Hitler attempted a failed coup
Hitler then had a trial
Hitler then went to jail
Hitler then got out and became Chancellor

History repeats itself. 

We laugh and clown on Trump but he is dangerous as fuck. He has zero empathy, a need for power and an extremely loyal and angry base. 
 The road to fascism is lined with moderates and people on the internet telling you to stop overreacting. 
 “I’m fiscally conservative but socially liberal”

No you’re just a rich asshole 
 TIL: In 1964, the FBI sent an anon letter to Martin Luther King. The letter, referred to as the "suicide letter," urging MLK to take his own life. Imagine the progress we could have in terms of equality if the FBI hadn’t assassinated an entire generation of civil rights leaders.

 Can’t wait for tomorrow when all the Q Anons realised they microwaved their phones for no reason

 People used to hide the fact that they were far right. Now people proudly declare it. We need to bring back shame, and in a big way. 
 The words “strike” and “union” have reached near erotic status for me. 
 So Musk is just straight up declaring himself a Nazi. The silver lining is according to lore and law you are allowed to punch him in the face now. 
 Finished watching The Empire Strikes Back, I have. Here, my notes are.

- Han and Leia have a toxic relationship 
- The budget must have been significantly increased for this movie 
- Yoda is worth the hype
- 3PO would have been the bluest of liberals
- Darth would still GET IT, daddy vibes 🥵 
 “Elons Musk’s X is biggest outlet of Russia disinformation, Europe says” 

It’s over taken FACEBOOK, the platform of genocide.

 I’m a deeply unserious person 80% of the time. Please proceed with that statistic in mind. 
 They didn't just write a character statement; they also 𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐞𝐝 for leniency for a convicted rapist. Don't forget that when the whirlwind of PR comes.

 Boomers: young people are lazy and need to do something and stop complaining Also boomers: NO NOT LIKE THAT https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-66818366?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=KARANGA 
 Some people need to hear this.

Just because you hate republicans doesn’t mean you have to LOVE and stan all democrats. 

The level of cringe when I see people go hard for the likes of Biden and Pelosi is too much 
 Hey y’all i recreated the moment the Montagues and Capulets found Romeo and Juliet. Tragic

 For my latest art piece I recreated “Cloud Gate” a public sculpture by artist Anish Kapoor found in Chicago, Illinois. 

This one is for the real artsy folks.

 good morning to everyone, except people who still think trickle-down economics is great 
 The devastating earthquake in Morocco has claimed 800 precious lives in a profound tragedy. The pain and suffering the Moroccan people must be feeling is truly unfathomable. As a global community, I hope we can extend our compassion and support to help them through this unimaginably difficult time

 The queen died a year ago today. This was a standout moment, may this tweet always live in our collective memories.

 And so it begins in Ireland. The xenophobia is now the foundational platform for a political party. Looks like I might need to stay put for a while to help fight the trash

 10/10 would punch a Nazi in the face twice right now 
 A little girl today told me I look like the new mermaid princess and I nearly started crying ALL I WANT TO BE IS A MERMAID PRINCESS
