SO sick of hearing the most miserable wretched lonely people preach about the glory individualism. These living monuments to social failure: Jordan Peterson, Andrew Tate, and the like and their unhealed mental/emotional damage are just such a drain on our collective ability to build a better world.

Christianity, and Jesus in particular, have more power as poetic constructs within parables about human foibles. The insistence that he’s real replaces imagination with Faith, which is less potent.

“Deportation” is a legal process with oversight that keeps people safe and maintains their dignity. These are abductions. This is a kidnapping. I can’t believe EVERY generation of white people has to do the same freak-out about race. Also, borders are for justifying military spending, not safety.

We have to openly, loudly, and persistently dream the future together. Take time today to describe what the world looks like when peace is won by justice, not perpetually over the horizon of endless war. How will it feel? Work backwards from there to find the path forward from here.

I am negative amounts surprised that they added a journalist to the group-chat. Hegseth is about to oversee the most brutal period of unnecessary deaths/injury in US military history. The fact it was a journalist in a group-chat, and not a large-scale friendly-fire incident is a miracle.

We’re actually experiencing a spiritual crisis. We do not have principles as a society/nation.

So, you’re telling me that the most used-car-salesman-ass president we’ve ever had, is now LITERALLY hawking cars nobody wants from the driveway of the White House, like the most deranged fever-dream QVC show ever…? Is that… is that our reality? We’re doing this? We’re all just… doing this?

National single payer healthcare now. Every day we delay implementation of this people die unnecessarily, families ruined financially, and our whole system continues to sag under the weight of the oligarchs and their shareholder vassals who require ever more profit be cut from our collective flesh

These days a MAGA hat doesn’t upset me, I just feel pity the wearer. It’s really hard to get played that hard and still be clinging to the con.

I’m not sure where “iron sharpens iron” or “steel sharpens steel came from, but I really need everyone to understand that steel can only hone steel, it can only maintain an edge. You need some kind of abrasive to actually sharpen a blade.

What an insult, that they would double and triple down on the horror that has caused and propagated so much mental illness and distress and then threaten to take away the medication and freedom of those suffering.

Our systems: media, politics, social, are all reactive. The NYT wasn’t running stories about the warning signs of fascism BEFORE the election, because they are reactive to the sway of the public discourse and we weren’t talking about it until it was too late and the fash had been installed.

So Musk’s child soldiers are stealing all our data to train a government-control AI, right? We are seeing that? Other people are seeing that that’s what’s happening, yes? And we actually have very little time to stop them from firing everyone and setting up a for-profit AI controlled “government?”

This is going to kill people for generations. This is going to kill so many people. This organization is an umbrella against a terrifying acid rain. Dismantling the CDC without a viable replacement plan ready to go is deeply irresponsible. These people prevent so much death. This is reckless.

If Americans don’t hurry up and repeat French History from 1792, I’m afraid we’re going to have to learn how to emulate French History from 1940.

One time in a “how to stop fascism” class I took in 2020 they talked about how convincing business leaders that the chaos of the fascist regime will hurt their bottom lines. I think about that so much these days as I see business leaders riding the Trump train.

Just noticing that these two clips are out there: 1) that moment with Netanyahu laughing about being de facto president 2) laughing with Tucker Carlson that if Trump loses Elon goes to prison. And Reporting that USAID, OSHA, and the CFPB were investigating him/his companies.

We’ve failed as a society because we look at the average wealth of our economy and proclaim we are rich, but when we try to look at the distribution, and ask “WHO is rich?” We call those people Communists and tell them to shut up.

If they dismantle NOAA, someone you know personally will die as a result. Or it’ll be you. No NOAA means no warning for hurricanes, no tracking fire danger, air quality, tornadoes, flooding… you will not KNOW it is time to evacuate the next time there’s a disaster near you.

Flabbergasted to find that American “Patriots” who “love the constitution” willing to shred the document and crown a king cuz one trans girl wanted to play hs volleyball in Oklahoma and the price of eggs went up. Grandad got blown up in Normandy defending it, but I guess everyone has their limits.

People keep asking “is this legal!?” And I need everyone to understand that as of 1/20/25, if you live in the United States, you no longer live in what is called a “legal culture.” The Trump admin and their allies around the world operate in what is called an “honor culture” like all organized crime
