Trump is trying to be the first president to be the primary cause of two recessions. #recordbreaker

@mcuban.bsky.social you and Jon Stewart should be running mates in 2028. You both offer fire and passion for fairness while also offering something to diverse walks of life. I’ll work for your campaign for free if y’all did this.

If Jesus Christ was reborn, how would we know? If he revealed himself, would anyone even listen? How could he be a popular leader in a world filled with supposed Christians who would kill him if they heard him speak as he once did?

Hate and prejudice are illogical. Humans need other humans. We thrive when we are a tribe that brings more people in with different ideas. If we want to succeed, we need to include everyone. We need to give everyone a chance to be their best selves. Why must we hate when it is easier to love?

There is so much beauty in this world, so why do we constantly choose to destroy it and prevent man and animal alike from enjoying it? We are capable of so much good, yet we constantly allow ourselves and others to choose the path of evil.

We must unionize as citizens. Unions are good for everyone even if you’re retired as a strong union creates a strong company which creates a strong investment. Unionization should be required in the US which happens to be one of the most resource rich countries on earth including its workforce.

How do we choose when to stop letting the awful people run this planet? How do we know other good people will be by our side when we stare down the barrel of a gun with only our voices demanding equality and peace? We must come together, and stand arm in arm to bring back the “dream.”

Economics has a place in our existence. However, it is not supposed to be at the top of our priorities. It should be a medium of motivation for those with ideas, for charity, and for spreading equality for those that start life from behind. The hoarding of wealth is pure evil when children starve.

We are failing. The cost of failure is another long cycle of pain and suffering just to get back to where we were in terms of progress as conscious beings. We have gone further than we ever have, and we are ruining it for money. For a construct that does not represent our lives and existence.

Everything around us is conscious. When we die, it is merely the vessel we occupy that changes. We bleed into everything else in existence, and what we are spreads further into this world and thusly universe. We never end. What we are just expands into more.

We are more a part of each other than we are individual, yet we have been lead to believe that the individual is more important than the whole. As higher beings, we are indeed both one and individual, but we act as if only the individual exists. Loneliness is a symptom of this selfishness.

People like to say “people don’t change.” This is not true. Everyone changes. The change that is hard is consicous, self-prescribed change. It takes effort and persistence. You can change if you really want to. Staying the same and complacent is easier than change, but we are all capable.

We must break away from the idea that everything in life must be monetized. Life is not profit. Profit and money is a construct created by those in power to keep power for themselves. The time and effort you exchange for money is not being compensated for its true worth. #resist #equality #classwar

In a world full of anger and hatred, it is best to always express your love for another. Whether it be a friend, family member, or lover, don’t hold back on your love even when it isn’t mutual especially when others aren’t holding back on their hate. We need more love now than ever.

Kindness matters. Open hearts matter. Anyone that tells you helping even a single person isn’t worth time or effort is a person who has strayed so far from humanity that they no longer see themselves as a human. That kind of person is the person we need to reach out to most. Bring them back.

A world that prioritizes military funding without address funding for children w/ cancer is not the world that any of our Gods and messiahs wanted for us. We should all be ashamed and accept our role in getting to this point in history, and then start to do better. Make today the day you do better.

Loving someone you find beautiful and likable is easy. Loving someone who is self-loathing, angry, irrational, and selfish is hard. If we put the effort into loving the perceived bad, we can affect their lives to turn into something beautiful and likable. Give it time while still caring for self.

We cannot continue to squander this chance to be the achievers of the ultimate purpose. Please stop hurting each other. Stop fighting. Stop being greedy. Stop letting children go hungry. Stop pushing the geniuses and artists to kill themselves. Help each other. Love each other.

I am here. I always knew why, but sometimes we fight what we are because the truth is scary to us. Finding courage to be who we are despite our misconceptions is one of the hardest things to do.

We are all important and play a role in the advancement of our universe to achieve the ultimate purpose. Many of us need guidance to better fulfill that role, but regardless of our choices, what we do in life is important just like any spec of flour is important to the finished loaf of bread.
