Last post before sleep. I hope this doesn’t make me seem like a Pollyanna. We are all clamoring to be heard. Social media posts are our cries into the abyss. I am going to try and respond more to others’ posts, thoughtfully. I want to listen. #listening #genuine #respond #empathy

The most important thing you can read now. It's not about Trump. Techno-libertarian ideologies ARE reshaping governance and erasing democracy. #resist #constitutionalcrisis #justice #voting #votersupression #boycott #democracy #sovereignindividual www.notesfromthecircus.com/p/the-plot-a...

I rarely reread what I've written because then I just think of all the ways I could have rewritten it, but I still very much appreciate @maddow.msnbc.com sharing @leahgreenberg.bsky.social's and my op-ed on air tonight! You can find the whole thing here: www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Exactly! When they lose the jobs locally and then experience the trickle down effect that will come to small businesses because people will no longer be able to afford to remodel their house or frequent the local diner. It's coming.
