"Call it democracy, or call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth within this country for all God's children." —MLK Jr.

You ever wonder what the world looked like before streetlights?

Loathe thy neighbor: Elon Musk and the Christian right are waging war on empathy Trump’s actions are irreconcilable with Christian compassion. But an unholy alliance seeks to cast empathy as a parasitic plague

I tried to write about empathy and ended up writing about fascism again

Make no mistake: our old trauma programming will greet us every morning of our recovery w/ 1,472 reasons why today is the day we should give up on this stupid "recovery" thing.

Wish it good morning, pat it on the head-- then get out of bed & work your recovery today.

Fuck Reagan. I'd piss on the bastard's grave in a minute.

A screenshot of two X posts. The first post is from Tom Morello (@tmorello), timestamped 7 hours ago, with a profile picture showing a person in a colorful outfit. The text reads: "What the f*ck is wrong with these people. Wounded Knee was a bloodthirsty massacre of Lakota Sioux, including dozens of women and children." The second post is from Secretary of War Pete (@username), timestamped 9 hours ago, with a profile picture of a man in a suit. The text reads: "Under my direction, the soldiers who fought at the Battle of Wounded Knee will keep their medals. This decision is final. Their place in history is settled." The second post includes an image of a man in a suit standing in front of an American flag and an official seal, appearing to give a formal statement.

Wounded Knee is a dark stain upon our nation’s history. We must remember it for what it truly was, not for what white nationalists would have it be.

I'll just leave this here.

It is so hard to quit smoking when I've been around it my whole life. I could use some advice on quitting.

400 Americans now own more wealth than the bottom 50% of Americans. Those 400 people are currently running this country, not the people.

This can’t continue.

Trauma recovery is never, ever about "getting rid" of feelings, "parts," or even memories.

I know, they hurt. I know, you hate this. Valid. Real.

But the path ahead is about acknowledging & integrating & realistically transforming them-- not amputating or destroying them.

Why is it such a difficult concept for some people that your happiness shouldn't have to come at the cost of someone else's? We all win when we all win, not when some win a lot and others lose everything.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but racism isn’t patriotism.

Dude I know idiocracy comparisons are overblown but come on

RIP Nez Perce native American leader Chief Joseph, died this day 1904.
“I believe much trouble and blood would be saved if we opened our hearts more.”

“It does not require many words to speak the truth.”

“The earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it.”

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

So Trump gets DOJ to drop an obvious bribery case against Tom Homan, then fires the US Attorney who found insufficient evidence to prosecute Letitia James, then threatens to fire Pam Bondi and replace her with dunce Lindsey Halligan unless she immediately indicts his enemies.

There’s no hiding the political retaliation and weaponization.

It’s all out in the open.

Remember: Politicians aren't our masters, they're our EMPLOYEES and we need to treat them as such.
