I’m a physics dude who teaches, mostly. My opinions are my own and may not reflect how I feel tomorrow. I like old video games, marvel snap, education, science, yo-yo’s, and feeding and housing folks. Drunk who hasn’t had one in a while.

I do not ‘get’ stocks in any meaningful way, but I feel like if the dollar is weak, foreign investment will be high. With a government run like a business, that foreign money seems to imply the American people are not the ones vesting power in our government, but billionaires and foreign capital.

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

Jonathan Joss was Comanche and Apache and an openly gay actor. He was murdered while looking at the remains of his dogs at his own house that was burnt down. The killer yelled homophobic slurs before shooting him. This is the real world consequences of the hatred that the right commodifies

When I was about 12 I told my dad I didn’t understand why the folks who get to legally shoot people aren’t held to a higher standard than the people who can’t. He said, no one would be a cop if they had to be held to that standard. That was the first time I said we shouldn’t have police then.

The speed and totality with which white “Evangelical Christians” embraced immoral cruelty to other humans reminds me of ….. their fidelity to Slavery and Jim Crow. Same shit. Different hue. Evil bred in the bone.
