Why are so many politicians so unkind? Does political power make people unkind? Or maybe it's the other way around. Do unkind people tend to acquire political power?

The "No Kings" rally is 10 days from now. I'll be trying to hand out a leaflet. I'm still revising it. Below is the current version. Feel free to make copies or write your own. leftymathprof.wordpress.com/endcap/#top

Boycott fireworks (July 4) while Gaza is still being bombed. It's a small thing, merely symbolic, but it still counts for a little.

Greta Thunberg is an epic human being. She's an incredible humanitarian. I love her to the moon and back.

At some point, our society will need to stop ignoring this injustice.

Not sure that shooting hungry people at the place you’ve sent them to get food is meaningfully different from gassing people at the place you’ve sent them to take a shower.

[For over a century US-ers have been subected to a propaganda campaign against socialism/communism.] And they've been told that the sentence in brackets is a conspiracy theory and should not be considered.

Now that the new "Lilo and Stitch" is in theaters, I've finally gotten around to looking at the 2002 cartoon version. It bothers me, but does not surprise me, that the evil mad scientist has something like a Russian accent.

It bothers me greatly that so few climate activists are saying anything about how CAPITALISM is causing ecocide.

I won't watch the new "Mission Impossible" movie, but I enjoyed this review article about it. www.greanvillepost.com/2025/05/30/m...

Note to supporters of Israel: You can make up a new definition for the word "antisemitic" if you want to, but the new definition does NOT automatically inherit all the properties of the old definition. The old "antisemitic" was something bad, but your new "antisemitic" is actually something GOOD.

All of Trump's predecessors were crooks too, but they were more subtle about it. They did not parade their crookedness for all the world to see. Trump's lack of subtlety brings shame upon the USA. That is why Trump should be impeached, convicted, and removed from office.

Global average temperature is expected to rise to almost 2C above preindustrial in the next five years, according to the WMO, with falls in crop yields and more than a third of the world’s population being exposed to extreme heat. People, I'm sorry but we have to deal with this. Later is too late.

Think how incredibly broken and deranged western mainstream news has become that 90% of people have no idea this is happening.

The reality slaps you down… HARD! Enjoy. 😎✨

Many people are asking "is it fascism yet?" I would say yes, because many people (mostly brown people) are being kidnapped off the streets and sent to prison without any due process. I wouldn't say that's a definition of fascism, but I'd say it's a sufficient condition.
