Advice I need to heed: “…if you aren’t using your privilege to lift up others, you’re doing it wrong. If you haven’t been mocked as “woke” or had your masculinity questioned lately for giving a shit about others, fight harder against injustice — every time…”

All of this—all of this dysfunction and intentional cruelty—just to free the wealthy from responsibility for supporting our common life. Tax wealth as we tax labor. Tax corporations to support our infrastructure and legal frameworks that actually protect THEIR property, for heaven's sake.

Despite the risk of firing at each other, I agree. Except a few (Murphy, Pritzker, Shiff, AOC), where are these leaders ? I’ll give Joe a recovery pass for a bit more, the rest need to step up!

Before you get mad at Trump for saying Ukraine started the war, take a second to consider some geopolitical questions. -Why did Ukraine put all that provocative mineral-rich land right on Russia's border? -Did Zelensky send Putin mixed signals? -What was Ukraine wearing when the invasion began?

Correct. He’s not capable of playing multidimensional chess. Or chess. Or checkers. Or tic-tac-toe. As one of his aides put it during Shit Show I, “he’s just eating the pieces” on the board. Nothing he does is strategic. He’s purely guided by narcissistic, sociopathic impulses at all times.

Well at least those DOGE bros can do simple things like …simple math. (NY Times): “…A closer scrutiny of a federal database shows that a recent version of the contract was for $8 million, not $8 billion. “

Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

“There’s no need to sugarcoat it: DEI is the new n-word, and they’re using it to discredit the qualifications of people who are more qualified than individuals who have no qualifications at all,” Florida State Senator Shevrin Jones told the Miami Herald. amp.miamiherald.com/news/local/c...

If this country actually hired people based solely on their competence and merit we sure as shit wouldn’t be looking at the second term of an insurrectionist felon fraud who saddled our country with $8T in new debt, lost the most jobs since Herbert f’ng Hoover, and let 500K people die on his watch.

“We need you. You deserve a government that reflects your values, but you will not get it simply by resisting Donald Trump. It will only come by reclaiming our democracy from the bottom up. Do not let Donald Trump eat your hope. He is not a king.”

There’s one other thing running around my synapses this morning: we will not survive this if the only thing we’re reading/listening to is shit that amplifies every bad thing he does, even with sarcasm and humor. It is time to educate yourself to organize folks however you can and to build support.
