I'm a late-adopter of Twitter who is interested in engaging fearlessly in honest dialog that is sometimes challenging, but always meaningful.

To everybody who does not rent a portion of your house to your mother-in-law: who do you turn to when you want somebody to make unflattering comparisons between you and your brother-in-law who has been living in your shed for the past three years?

@CocoMentos Have you ever heard of a podcast called Martyr Made? If you have time, you may want to listen to the episodes on Jonestown. I found the dynamic regarding who participated in the creation of Jonestown versus who was there at the end to drink the kool-aid to be very interesting

@CocoMentos I'm with you on the disdain for people part. That's why I always cheer on the people who are cheering on the mob. I see how much they like mob justice and I think to myself "by the time you realize what it is that you're supporting, it'll be too late for you to go back."

@CocoMentos How did we come to a place where being a socialist is a controversial political position? All we want is for every person to receive an equal share of the benefits of society regardless of whether an individual is able or willing to contribute to the society to which they belong.

@iamtaylorlynn Heterosexual relationships are exploitative to womxn in one way or another. The best policy has always been "stay single, stay safe." This is doubly true when it comes to raising children. You have to insulate your kids from toxic masculinity by keeping fathers away from the home

@ninaturner Should we run into a situation where we don't have the funds to pay for climate change initiatives, we can always impose more taxes on white males. Who cares if the initiatives produce no beneficial outcomes? Seeing white men taxed is in and of itself beneficial to society.

@RepPressley @WhiteHouse We need to put an end to the state-sanctioned taking of hostages. A white supremacist government has no right to put black bodies in cages for the crime of having rebelled against laws that are intended to keep them in a marginalized state.

@Ilhan What's even better than the ban on conversion therapy is how it requires therapists to encourage trans kids to pursue transition. Words cannot describe the joy I get from picturing conservative parents learning that their little boy is actually a little girl.

@JackoffJosh711 @Ilhan CRT has nothing to do with changing a person's race. CRT is a method of teaching people about all the ways that white people cause all of the problems in the world and how they should spend their lives doing the work it takes to maybe one day be less such horrible people.

@AOC Why is the Spanish translation underneath the English version? Does that type of subtle otherizing not contribute to the marginalization of Latinx people specifically, as well as all immigrants in general?

[Living MY Truth @LivingMYTruth2]

@RepPressley In addition to being a right, abortion is also a valuable way for a birthing person to protect herself against the abuse of cis-gendered males. The ability to put an impregnating person on notice that the baby will be aborted if any abuse is experienced will keep everybody safe.

@IMCHOO17 @RepRashida Yeah, that's the plan. Every one of those kids will struggle because they grew up in a broken home and they will always be reliant on government handouts. Thus, they'll be life-long Democrat voters. Ask Trump why he didn't work out a plan like this for you conservatives.

@DrIbram @KateChappell Conversely, if equity is not achieved by elevating the black community, an equally desirable outcome would be to see racial groups who outperform the black community hobbled so they can no longer perform at their current level. Either version of equity works for me.

[Living MY Truth @LivingMYTruth2]

@DrIbram @KateChappell Let's not let anybody think that reparations are paid and the score is settled. If the first round of payments doesn't bring the black community up to the standard of every other community, additional reparations must be paid all over again until equity has been achieved

@emily_tweets What if she is a white womxn who wants to wear an African Dashiki and dreadlocks? Do you think she should be allowed to appropriate African American culture because she is a white womxn who gets to exploit marginalized people for her mere entertainment?

[Living MY Truth @LivingMYTruth2]

@PenusSmelly @CMJBA1 @Ngoako2030 @M_Letsholonyane LOL that's seriously hilarious.

[Living MY Truth @LivingMYTruth2]

@CocoMentos Abortion robs the birthing person of the opportunity to use her bare hands to choke the life out of the little monster after she gives birth to it. Sad. Very sad indeed.

@juliejohnsonTX @TexasHDC @GinaForAustin @DonnaHowardTX @RepRamonRomero @BeckleyforTX @NicoleCollier95 @CeliaIsrael @jessicafortexas @ChrisGTurner @Senfronia4Texas Any expectation of the slightest bit of effort on the part of the voter is voter suppression. We need volunteers to visit marginalized voters at home and assist them by moving their hands for them as they fill in the bubbles.

@CocoMentos Free healthcare is a good start, but can we really expect marginalized people to pay for their own housing, food, clothing, transportation, and entertainment? I'd argue that they face too much systemic oppression to be expected to pay for anything.
