Saving so much time now. Used to spend hours on Meta. Now I hit BlueSky for a few minutes a day. Sweet.

I really hope that once the pain subsides a bit our side of the political spectrum can have some introspective, real-talk about our role in electing a fascist. We suck at introspective real-talk. Fingers are pointing at different D factions, and no one is saying β€œyeah we fucked that up”. We must.

Perception is the truth people use to navigate through life in the absence of facts. That perception is influenced and shaped by both self and others.

The human mind cannot stand not having closure. It's why when I see someone just turned a year older and say, "Happy______!" your brain fills it in.

Because too much real history is suppressed in the US. And more will be suppressed soon.

I have faced fascism before, in this very country. I was one of 120,000 Japanese Americans summarily rounded up and expelled from our homes at gunpoint, all for the crime of looking like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.

I spent my childhood behind barbed wire. My parents lost everything. 1/

Seriously, how do we not learn from history? 45 is a HUGE fan of Hitler. He studied him. Tried to adopt his mannerisms. Used so many of his tactics. How did all of America not see this?

Glacier National Park’s towering mountains and serene alpine lakes are a reminder to rise, reflect, and reconnect.

If you want to know who your politicians are really working for, watch where they run when things ramp up.

Well, that certainly explains how appealing to dimmer bulbs wins elections. They outnumber us.

Watching Trump's cabinet choices has begun to provide startling clarity on how he ended up bankrupting those casinos.

Putin Isn’t Fighting for Land in Ukraine And Biden has mere weeks to give the Ukrainians the resources they need to fight.

Biden doesn't have much time left in office, but he should immediately transfer all $300b in Russian frozen assets + interest to UKRAINE To help them buy all the artillary + fighter jets+ ammunition they need to fight Russia.
