A new #poem for a new season π
11.10.2025 18:33 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0For two years, Israel has killed 92 people a day on averageβand 27 of them are children.
This is what happens every day our government allows the genocide to continue.
It never trickled down--just up.
Now, CEOs are calling from yachts while many veterans continue to live on the streets and essential workers can barely afford to live.
We need to fundamentally re-think what we're doing in America.

Health professionals have been systematically eliminated in Gaza, and it's so important for their peers to keep speaking out.
Yeah, the trailers look good, but this movie is almost an automatic pass because of the people involved unfortunately.

The era of 5 days a week in the office is over, and most want to work from home as much as possible.
I'm glad to see people aren't coming in just because leadership says so.

And even if/when we realize our mistakes, undoing these changes and regaining our civil liberties is going to be extremely difficult.
Thank you for continuing to draw attention to this!
People are so desperate for a "quick fix" to the problems their kids are facing, whether that's anxiety, trouble in school, etc. that they immediately glommed onto "banning phones".
If think they'll be surprised to see in a couple years that this "fix" accomplished less than they thought.
