Bill Maher warns of a "slow-moving coup — masked police, troops in DC, federalized forces setting up a permanent security state so even if Dems win, Trump won’t give up power.

"The next coup will go a lot smoother than the last one."

In the 90s, I tried making sense of my troubled life by spending my nights in a coffee shop, studying philosophy and writing in a journal. 30 years later, I’m now trying to make sense of our absurd world in our lenai, studying existential philosophy and writing in a journal.

Mostly white men. And I say that as a white man.

The Rise of Trump, the Fall of Imperial America Some 2,000 years ago, an itinerant preacher, Saul of Tarsus, was writing to a wayward congregation in Corinth, Greece. Curiously enough, his words still

I knew some of the details about France’s colonialism of Africa. But I had no idea of the scale, depth and how recent the horrors have been.

Disgusting.

Heck, imagine praying to a god that said “Now go and smite Amalek and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.’”

And when they’re done with that, they’re going to investigate Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny

Well now Time magazine did too. (Many times.)

Sums up a lot

They own enough super yachts, islands, and politicians. TAX THE FUCKING BILLIONAIRES.

Via Google: “Ecology without class struggle is just gardening” is a quote by Brazilian activist Chico Mendes. The quote is often used to emphasize the need for intersectionality in climate activism. It conveys the idea that the social and environmental aspects of life cannot be separated, and that they should be addressed with common solutions. Mendes' quote is a critique of the Western environmentalism model, which views nature conservation and human activity as mutually exclusive. This model is often embodied in the "fortress conservation" model, which has been shown to enable human rights abuses.

Added a quote to my profile:

"Ecology without class struggle is just gardening."
—Chico Mendes

#Conservation can't take place without human rights advocacy. They're intertwined. As before: "We are nature defending itself."

What do you mean, you people?

I 200% agree. And I’d be willing to disassemble/fold boxes to leave at my door or street for drivers to pick up when delivering. Because if the box is still good, they could reuse it rather than “recycling” them. That could even save them money.

Amazon should be required to have a recycling program for their boxes - seeing all those boxes in trash cans is gross. Bezos leaves a trail of detritus everywhere he goes.

Simple: once a week Amazon sends a truck to a central neighborhood location to collect boxes & reuse.

From Joyce Carol Oates on the dead bird app "very bad of people to be hinting at sympathy for the CEO silencer-assassin. it is absolutely not the American way to execute by extrajudicial means unless one is a police officer with guaranteed immunity or a vigilante rightwing hero like, for instance, the murderer of Trayvon Martin."

Well, when you put it that way, @joycecaroloates.bsky.social

Amen

Hell, if the CEO had been a person of color, no matter how rich, they’d probably would have given up by now.

Wow. That lighting is amazing.
