I'm a writer and environmentally minded fellow who doesn't like social media but feel like I have to raise my voice. Bernie Sanders has it right. Expect a book eventually, but politics, poetry, baking, and video games in the meantime

Damaging as Musk's antics may be, the silver lining is that he does not seem to have the same hold on the public and the very degree of damage, combined with their recklessness and blatant grift may finally break through to the public about the lawlessness of the administration in a meaningful way.

Convo with my friend from Hungary tonight who left after Orban’s election. She said “your head will spin with all the wild stuff they try to pull, new things every day, but don’t take your eyes off the money. It’s all about the money, and what they’re stealing, and for whom.”
