Greetings Spacenoids! I'm Alex, the @MechaMarxist. I'm an AuDHD artist, activist, & labor organizer. I have 2 major hyperfixations: #Communism & #GiantRobots & it turns out they're basically the same thing! All the best #Mecha shows were communist propaganda.

BREAKING: Connolly officially defeats AOC in the race to be the Ranking Member of House Oversight in a 131-84 vote. This is not a surprise to any of us who’ve been warning that you can’t build power for the working class inside a ruling class party.
