From a neuroscientist: Find likeminded people, build community and alternative systems, cut down on the doomscrolling, do what you can to liberate our world from cruelty, ignorance, and greed. It’s might be tough; we can do it.

To people going to see the steamy new “Wuthering Heights” film, consider how revolutionary the Brontës were. As middle class, single women in the 1800s, their work dissects class, racism, misogyny, and female longing in tales of revenge and tragedy. They aren’t love stories. They’re revolution!

Sounds like a good plan to me! If a system is built on horrors committed and kept secret by its leaders, it should crumble. Any non pedo, non-corrupt Democrats would be better than this dumpster fire of a regime. I’d trust school board member or Indivisible volunteers over this any day.

Even if patriotic blonde is wrong or a plant, there are more than enough verifiably horrific crimes to bring every participant down

What’s the point of faith if you can’t monetize it? /s

Stupid, evil, or both. There are no other reasons to support this regime at this point.

Read Christie, the Brontës, Austen, or Hardy. They describe the needless tragedy that accompanies women’s lack of bodily, legal, and financial autonomy. We won’t go back! Tell your senators to vote no on the SAVE act.

Overturn Citizens United, donation limits at $100 per person and $1000 per PAC, close tax shelter loopholes and tax the 0.1% at twice the percentage rate of the median income 99%. It would be a start.

Gold statues, fortified monuments, even wealth and power cannot stave off the damage of a lifetime of sadism and greed.

And they don’t need to take a goon squad with them everywhere they go like the current administration does.

Hitler had a particular interest in aesthetics too. He still had better taste than 47.

Concerns over autocracy in the U.S. continue to grow Is America still a democracy? Scholars tell NPR that after the last year under President Trump, the country has slid closer to autocracy or may already be there.

I’m shocked, shocked I say. /s. For f***’s sake, stop soft pedaling fascism. This isn’t a both sides issue.

Just do something! Anything! If the regime is a brick wall, every act of resistance chips away at it. It will crumble eventually. Let’s speed up that process.

Dr. Oz pushes AI avatars as a fix for rural health care. Not so fast, critics say Dr. Mehmet Oz, who heads the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, is advancing a $50 billion plan to modernize rural health care.

Demographics determine care. Geography, disability, mental health, gender, race, & class further stratify care. AI will worsen these issues. Spotty internet coverage in rural areas makes even that moot. Survival shouldn’t be profit driven. Universal healthcare now!

Cognitive dissonance affects up the same area of the brain that regulates physical pain. For all our sakes, I hope the MAGA cult can tough out that pain and understand that conscience & shared reality are better than staying in 47’s cave, knowing only his shadows.

The Little Flame

Keep the little flame alive.

A cartoon-style balloon like those in parades is a satirical depiction of the 47th POTUS as a scowling, morbidly obese baby. It sports a white diaper and has tiny hands. It is outdoors on a green lawn with green trees on in the background for scale A man in a white shirt stands to the right. He is about 5x shorter and lower than the baby is. So we can guess that the baby balloon is about 32-37 feet tall and 20-25 feet wide. From the sunlight and trees, it is likely some time between May and September

47 is building monuments to himself because no one else will. They include a taxpayer-funded gilded lair and an Arc d’ Dipsh*ttery. When the regime crumbles, those eyesores should be replaced by an arboretum and a wind-powered museum that celebrates the victory of freedom over his criminal regime.

It seems like an infuriatingly wasteful use of a technology that is actively destroying the planet and being used super villain oligarchs to rob people of even the most basic freedoms.

Please keep a hard copy about the regime’s actions and their effects on you. Print and paste news photos. Keep videos of the regime’s deeds on several thumb drives. When the regime falls, it’ll destroy evidence and shift blame. Millions of contemporaneous journals negate those denials.

The frogs started their nighttime serenades about a week ago and it’s a hopeful sign that Spring is on its way.

Agreed, but why stop there? Impeach Jimmy ‘Davenport’ Vance, the entire cabinet, several SCOTUS justices, and MAGA legislators who broke the law and paved his way. Let’s not have a repeat of the post-Civil War period where the losers convinced the public that *they were wronged.

Plantation owners used to eat and use the skin of enslaved people for leather as well. That same evil gets amplified with unlimited worldwide power. Oligarchs can have anything and many find sadism not just profitable, but also highly entertaining. I apologize if my response is disturbing.

It seems like another con. The $10 billion from the IRS, $1 billion plane and who knows how much in kickbacks just isn’t enough for him.

No bully has ever stopped because his target cowers. They stop when we make them stop.

Slavers did the same. Absolute power morphs to vile evil easily. Modern oligarchs have much more power and $. We should assume there are millions more. Musk’s DOGE USAID cuts have killed 500,00 people so far. They see us only as resources to be exploited.

Addiction to substances, gambling, porn, etc. destroy families and can kill the user. Addicts to power and wealth will destroy the planet and its inhabitants for the mere promise one more dollar or domination over others.

They can’t arrest or murder all of us. This is the crucial time for people with any privilege to speak up

That fascists are using our flag is disgusting. I’m glad that people of conscience are reclaiming it and its meaning.

A soaring stock market is irrelevant when 10% of the population owns 90% of stocks. It’s moot when people can’t afford basic survival needs, gangs roam streets using weapons outlawed in war, POTUS is stealing $10 billion from our tax $, and oligarchs can rape and murder with impunity.
