Curious what would happen if we think for ourselves and mind our own business. Music, cats, science, travel.

Political violence must always be condemned.

Are the two people who drove their cars into people yesterday and the person who shot at people in Utah all white men? The person who murdered Democratic politicians yesterday was. Are we allowed to connect the dots? Will be media write exposes asking why white men are so violent? Or no?

Reminder that quite a few people out there have way too much wealth. It's not you. It never will be you. Stop supporting your own economic decline.

It's past time to remember that the power players and decision makers in the 80s were coked out of their minds 90% of the time. Today's "leaders" probably are, too. Short-circuited brains are not capable of logical, rational, honest processing.

Group think makes me insane. You get to do *whatever* you want to do until the point that it stops me from doing what *I* want to do. What is so hard to grasp about that? Why do we care so much what other people think of us?!!?

Figure it out, assholes. You fucked up, you need to make it right. Or, maybe you're just not as powerful as you pretend to be? Cannot wait to be rid of you.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. โ€œWhat can we do to make the least number of people mad?โ€ is just a bankrupt way to operate.

@schumer.senate.gov Youโ€™re gambling with my life and the lives of my family and community, and they are not yours to gamble. I will fight for democracy but I will not fight with you bc you have decided itโ€™s not worth it. You made yourself irrelevant. Step aside and let somebody else lead.

Iโ€™d like to ask every single New Yorker whoโ€™s remotely left of center to get actively involved in your local Democratic Party chapter with the goal of driving Schumer, Gillibrand, Hochul, Adams, Cuomo and all the other dead wood into retirement.

Yes, it's behind a paywall. No, I haven't read the article. This headline is fucking terrifying. It will take decades for scientific research to recover from this madness...and people all over the world will get sick(er) and/or die in the meantime.

Commander of Andrews Air Force Base tells military personnel not to respond to Musk's "what did you do last week" email.

"Your chain of command is the only source that can direct you to take specific actions -- OPM is not in your chain of command."
