tRump has managed to screw up a century of growth and progressive progress and diminished the US to nearly nothing in only a year. Think of the damage his people could do in three more. No wonder he wants a secret police force and a much larger military. Putin must be so proud of his asset. What has been done will be very difficult to undo. Hugs

I am an older gay guy in a long-term wonderful relationship. My spouse and I are in our 36th year together. I love politics and news. I enjoy civil discussions and have no taboo subjects. My pronouns are he / him / his and my email is Scottiestoybox@gmail.com
Political cartoons / memes / and news I want to share. 2-20-2026
I was an abused boy trying to deal with his budding sexuality being gay. I did not think I gave off signs but the bullies sensed my vulnerability because I did not form friends and stayed to myself. So they attacked me. What shocked me was not that the bullies attacked me but that the teachers in the 1970s joined in, giving the bullies full permission to do so while restricting my grades. Remember, I was not an out gay kid, I was an abused boy trying to keep his head down and get by each day. But the future maga sinced my vunerablebiltey and attacked me. Once it went around the school my entire teen school years became agony. That is what the republican Christian nationalists are trying to drive us back to. It changed in the 2000s with anti bulling and anti-discrimination programs. tRump’s amdin has desperately attempted to remove all those programs and protections. Hugs
Plenty of gay men took their husbands name or they both hyphenated both their names. So these gay couples would not have a matching birth certificate. I am one of those. I took Ron’s last name deperatly wanting to leave my abusive adoptive parents last name very far behind. Hugs
About these letters. Allison Gill on the Daily Beans news podcast gave sourced reports that ICE detention agents raided the children’s rooms at this detention concentration camp for children / families and took all their letters with the intent to destroy their reports of what was happening to them. Allison Gill has sued the government in court to save them and get them published. I fear it will be too late. Hugs.

I follow Allison Gill’s Daily Beans morning audio podcast which gives the news from the prior day with the sources to verify it. This is one of the stories they cover deeply. They now have a video version called Beans Talk on the YouTube channel MSW. I do recommend them as a valid news source. Hugs
We know she is a Russian asset and this further evidence that our republican government has been bought or compromised by Russia.
It started with Mary Ellen.
As many here can imagine this was hard for me to post. I am shaking and crying but the post is important to get out. Children as property was how I was seen. I was going to put it on the roundup page, but it just doesn’t belong there; it does belong here. Thank you. Hugs
Microsoft helping I build a huge data base on the public.
Right-wing media hacks use two recent shootings to label trans people as mass shooters.
It is a fact that most mass shooters are males, mostly white males. But right wing media are so desperate to slander and smear trans people the same way it was tried to before the internet with other media against gay people. The know what they are creating is false but they don’t care because they know that others will believe it and repeat it everywhere. It is a sickness and curse to want to create that much hate and chaos against the most vulnerable communities in society. Hugs

I finally made a comic strip about fall (but without any references to pumpkin spice lattes).
This is me during high school in a nutshell btw
I have been here. No means no, stop means don’t argue just stop and change activites, consent can be withdrawn at any time during sex. Hugs
“Our flag is red, white, and blue, but our nation is a rainbow—red, yellow, brown, black, and white—and we are all precious in God’s sight.”
Many people have requested such wearable designs lately, so I was happy to oblige. Just a bunch of funny, silly, lighthearted designs, yes, such as:
-“Sorry babe, I can’t make it to the function tonight, I have fascists to punch” (my personal favorite);
-“Abolish ICE” but in a beautiful gradient from the future;
-“Nerds against ICE” with a natural 20 (they are messing with the wrong DnD party);
-“I thought we agreed that concentration camps were BAD”;
-“ICE OUT” but in trans colors for added conservative nightmares.
There’s also a few variants and other new stuff! Check them out here.
We know from testimony that there were abuse videos made and sent to Epstein. Trigger warning the meme below is very graphic and difficult to read. Hugs
