Telling stories for climate, left of the middle, theatre maker, educator, caregiver. I'm so tired. I can't go on. I will go on.

We have to do more than be engaged on the internet.

What’s painful here is that so many think college is just about getting a job, and our lack of investment in education which leads to so much debt and essentially teaching to a test in K-12. They get to college and have no critical thinking skills. Trade programs already exist in comm. college.

I thought the Big Ugly was cutting ACA subsidies too. So, even if you qualified for insurance other than Medicaid, your premiums will go up. And then insurance cos will raise everybody’s rates.

Why does anyone think there’ll be another vote? All the other β€œnorms” are gone. Why do you expect that one to still be there? It’s, like, the next chapter in Project 2025.

We need to get off the internet and DO something.

Now, where did I put that pitchfork?

Get your pitchforks, people. We ride at dawn.

They want their mergers. Capitalism wins over integrity, every time there are billions to be made. Which is why government is supposed to protect us from this crap.

Think we better β€œrise up” now before they get their new gazillion dollar budget and hire all those new ICE agents and build more camps. What is it gonna take before people see we won’t be having any more free and fair elections?

Can we become an autonomous state yet? Just do it.

Wait. I thought he despised empathy.

If they did, they would’ve released it already. What would be the point of waiting?

Yes. Empathy is pretty much on life support.

When Is The Collapse Going to Start? The definitive answer.

β€œShifting Baseline Syndrome”. We are so there. Collapse is all around us. Frogs in a slow boil.

We probably won’t have any more elections. Seems to be the plan.

I hope you’re all making calls to every other person who voted yes as well, and not just the two easy targets. There’s enough rage to go around.

I think we should ask ourselves why we are so hot to take all of this out on M and C, and not the other 50 people who voted yes. Why do we love to hate only those two right now? Is it because they gave us hope? And then crushed it? Why not the other sorry excuses for human beings? Just curious.

While I’m on board for blaming Lisa Murkowski for a lot of things, let’s not forget that the entire Republican Party is to blame. 51 β€œpeople” voted for this despicable iteration of this bill. Many more in the House voted for something similar, and probably will again.

This is it. When and if we get out of this fascist mess, the Arts will bring empathy back. It has to be. Otherwise, we are just doomed.

If we ever get out of this nightmare we need to include empathy in every subject we teach. Give the Arts and Humanities the lead again. I know… humans have always been cruel and maybe we’re just more aware because of available information. But, wow. People are shitty, and often in the name of God.

Cruel, heartless, evil people. Empathy is dead in the American right.

We have our own in CA. They’re everywhere. They’re just quieter. For now.

They should start scheduling now. Everyday, an inspection, for every facility. For the foreseeable future.

I thought I just heard from Lev Parnas’ Substack that he just lifted sanctions on such Russian banks. Probably the ones he owes money to. Donny β€œTwo Weeks” getting away with treason, on the daily.
