Was it this hot when Lincoln was around? Podcast Episode · Q & Abe · 03/06/2025 · 33m

It was a real honor to be included in this episode of Q &Abe.

What evidence do you have for any of this? I’ve seen the opposite from his behavior and statements. For example, his lieutenant is indigenous.

It would just take a couple of Republican congressional representatives to find their spines and moral cores, join the democratic party, save the nation, and become heroes.

I learned the framework as “rational” mind instead of “reasonable” mind and that I think is a better word for this framework. It’s oversimplified but a starting point to help people understand you can’t wisely experience the world without utilizing emotion and rationale together.

This is yes.

Humans have three life support systems — our bodies, our infrastructure, and our environment — and Trump and his enablers are attacking all three. They are going to kill us all.

Oh this is stand behind for sure. Make California a spring break destination again.

Works as advertised

This is a war on millennials.
In case entering the workforce during a recession, losing leadership opportunities in a pandemic, continuing to be held down by student debt and unprecedented inflation, and a climate catastrophe hadn’t done enough for us.

“The reason we face the worst is because it helps us imagine the best.” What a fantastic, hopeful read. Treat yourself to this, and then spread it around.

Back when social media was for puppy videos and minor grievances like healthcare LOL

Bernie Sanders: "They will use the enormous media operations they own to deflect attention away from the impact of their policies while they entertain us to death."

This whole time we could all just be… living.
Ugh.

That’s gorgeous!

IF the tariffs go through...

this is a massive opportunity for the pro-democracy coalition.

mobilization will need to happen outside the DNC as they are pretty anemic right now.

BUT--this will affect a lot lower-class families & younger workers 😔. Let's remember this is not a political game!

If I were Canadian PM I would immediately:

1. Create a new $15B science fund

2. Offer any credentialed US scientist funding for lab startup and replacement of NIH grants if they move to Canada

3. Immediate permanent residency

4. Citizenship after 2 years

Overnight a science superpower

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

I posted this link on the F B and it’s disappeared three times so far.

The media needs to connect these things.

Normalize acknowledging the handbasket we’re in. In all conversations every day. Verbalize what others want to deny until denial is stripped of its power.

Does your city have a climate working group for citizens? A network? Shared website? Shared folders? Grief group! How is your community (city or org) mobilizing? How are you mobilizing and how can I join or support you?

Trump Administration Offers Millions of Federal Workers Payouts to Resign The move, which could dramatically reduce the size of the federal work force, appeared to stretch the limits of President Trump’s authority.

I posted on the morning of Trump's inauguration that I thought it was unlikely he could dismantle democracy in one term.

With all the goofy decisions of the past two days, I think it's even less likely.

Hitler was no clown. These people are clowns.

If the experts aren’t doing what seems to be the obvious fix, why do we assume we know more than the expert, rather than assume they know something we don’t?

Normalize, “I don’t know enough about that to have an opinion” and “I’d like to learn more before I make up my mind about that.”

Not all opinions are created equal.
