Iโ€™m not sure if you live in NYC but hating the mayor is a sign life is back to normal lol.

People ALWAYS react with confusion when i tell them i was a math major/philosophy minor!

But they so obviously fit together to me no doubt. Both come in handy literally every day.

I canโ€™t explain it. I donโ€™t dislike him per se, but for some reason Russell just never grabs me like he seems to grab essentially everyone whose musical opinions I respect! It bugs me! Tried many times. i need to figure out how to fix my brain lol.

But thanks for the tip i will check it!

Every time there is no choice but to declare something terrible they are in a constant state of imbalance and just begging to find something to restore the centrist order.

Ah that makes sense then. Yes Americans have had the privilege of being blissfully unaware for 80 years unfortunately.

Hence [gestures literally everywhere]. Gotta keep a sliver of hope more and more eyes are opened.

But from your perspective, totally understable to be furious.

Itโ€™s not always a choice. If youโ€™re never online and focus on surviving, even if you read paper every day, you got no clue.

Some event wakes each of us up. For me it was iraq war and torture. I imagine you have one too?

Full MAGA real tough to forgive but newly opened eyes iโ€™m here to welcome.

Lots of assumptions here.

Engaged person loving it for 9 years? Iโ€™m gonna need more mea culpa than Kanye gave.

But pay zero attention and vote every 4 years used to work! Physical work, no Internet. Home, donโ€™t watch news channels. Bed. Repeat. This is a huge cohort. And grace warranted IMO.

Ranked choice voting has some built in idiot proofing. Mamdani. Guy had no chance. He & Lander endorsed each other as 2nd choice. Cuomo & Adams refused to help each other.

Optics looked like they were teammates & made Adams/Cuomo look petty.

Visual contrast was striking didnโ€™t need much more.

My eyes opened when after years of nyt calling torture โ€œtortureโ€ when foreign govts did it, the second Bush admin came up w โ€œenhanced interrogation,โ€ NYT grabbed on. Same abuse from any other country labelled torture. W/USA โ€œwho can judge?โ€

Pathetic but not new.

โ€œReagan enacted terrible policies,โ€ ok fine. And thatโ€™s why dems are nonexistent in many states? Wut?

Nixon resigned & world went โ€œcool Ford is pres now all is fine,โ€ press went back to both sidesing. GOP learned lesson: there is no such thing as long term consequences.โ€ Dems still donโ€™t get this.

100% rule of law a must!

But as evidence grows SCOTUS is corrupt/issuing corrupt decisions w no basis in law & enriching themselves in process, isnโ€™t it imperative to make those critical inputs to any fair analysis?

Does โ€œthis particular decision doesnโ€™t seem corruptโ€ make any sense at this point?

Donate to Help Our Family Recover After an Unexpected Loss, organized by Valerie Grunsted After losing my beloved wife Anne to ovarian cancer, Bobby and I areโ€ฆ Valerie Grunsted needs your support for Help Our Family Recover After an Unexpected Loss

Our dear friend Anne died on Christmas of ovarian cancer, leaving her wife Valerie and their son Bobby. This family matters so much to me. They got to know us after Bobby was diagnosed with Down syndrome before he was born, and our families remain close. Help if you can. Just a repost helps.

Agreed. But the cosensus since 70s has been to pretend all fine since Nixon.

-Reagan illegally sold ARMS TO IRAN! And used funds to pay contras off the books! Should have been impeached
-GW approved torture of prisoners. Impeach.
-Trump. Impeach.

GOP should lead Trumpโ€™s ouster but it wonโ€™t.

You missed 3 others. Bush Sr. is the most law abiding GOP pres since Nixon. Reagan, GW, & Trump have all exceeded Nixon in their criminal behavior. Nixonโ€™s crimes were cute in comparison.

Guess which of the 4 the GOP hates? Yep. The least criminal GOP pres of the past 60 years (not including Ford).

If you think anyone even knows ths name Ceaucescu on bluesky, you may be mistaken.

Some guy w 2k followers drops an โ€œiโ€™m smart [Ceaucescu] blah blah,โ€ I donโ€™t see a benefit to you acknowledging.

I know itโ€™s slightly hostile here. I come from a place of wanting u to stick around!

With respect, what is the benefit of putting out a response to a post criticizing shockingly criminal behavior by our government that inevitably comes across as defending what happened? Just block the guy and donโ€™t respond.

Just donโ€™t post and save the nuance for tomorrow maybe?
