This blog from Dan Sinker resonates with me, especially on the do it yourself side and creating for yourself. It’s part of self-care to care for others. It’s ok to give a fuck! You’re human. dansinker.com/posts/202…

I've been asked why I don't feel inclined to move to a cheaper state like Texas. I would ask, what rights will you not have tomorrow that you have today? www.houstonchronicle.com/opinion/outl...

I had the same thought when I saw Drew's post and for all the celebration for referral traffic on bsky, a lot of people don't link to what their talking about!

This boils my blood. ICE quotes in this story make it sound like it shouldn’t be a big deal, but the location, the community, the timing during dinner on a Friday, it’s so performative. They are parading this cruelty in liberals faces www.kpbs.org/news/border-...

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

Rebecca Solnit on compromise: "If I think the world is round and you think the world is flat, I don't really make the world better by saying it's kind of a squashed oblong."

Yea alright but the pro-Israel movement faces no uncertainty as Israel starves the people of Gaza. Why continue to conflate dissent with violent acts?

The lack of compassion for Palestinians is so strong, Ms Rachel is getting thought policed about her support for malnourished, amputated children who are also losing their families and society.

The more you know…they are running government inefficiently for paranoia around fraud. Can we ever get past this online bubble? DOGE went looking for phone fraud at SSA — and found almost none - Nextgov/FCW

It is amazing to me that Dems are pressured to water down their messaging in order to avoid alienating 'centrists,' but Republicans can round up and deport sobbing children without fear of alienating 'centrists.' Says a lot about what we mean when we say 'centrists'

I realize I’m just shouting into the wind here, but: please, please, please stop posting screenshots without links, or summarizing breaking news events without links. There’s a serious problem with unsourced assertions all over the world right now, don’t be part of the problem.

Two Cents is one of my favorite financial literacy YouTube channels, for the better part of a decade.

It’s funny how this is already out of date since Trump is lowering tariffs. I find it less funny how being a man is constantly reflected as doing something tough, but never a thought about its consequences. That makes it less tough to not consider others, don’t you think?

It's like people read about Hitler and the path to WWII but totally failed to absorb the part about appeasement and how it didn't work.

American civil society is full of abject cowards, that is the issue. The government is a mafia state but it is winning because most American elite institutions are devoid of anything resembling integrity and are folding rather than stand on principles that were little more than marketing.

We cannot abide a Democratic Party that continues to be weak and acquiescent in the face of this. Enough is enough.
