It seems pretty ironic to me that so many people I know seem to think building a commune is some sort of viable solution to surviving climate change. The people who told me going vegan is “too hard” are going to build an enclave that provides sewage, sanitation, irrigation, etc. Makes perfect sense.

I used to hate Superman as a kid because his superpowers were too “OP,” but now that I’m older, I kind of feel like his storyline got things right. The good guy is a journalist, and the bad guy is a billionaire. It’s no wonder Marvel movies have been marketed so much more aggressively to the masses.

Perhaps the most disappointing aspect of the Graham Platner scandals has been how unscrupulous progressive/leftist media was of him in general. They glossed over some damning attributes in an all too forgiving manner, which now forces them to do damage control. I know we all want progressives to run

You can tell someone’s a liberal when they get more pissed off about a pool than they do about a genocide.

Peacock Butterfly (Aglais io): This colourful butterfly species is native to temperate Asia and Europe, it has a wingspan of 55mm (2.16in) and hibernates in trees or buildings during winter, it can use its eye-spots as an anti-predator deterrent. Beautiful photo taken by Ellena Bailey in the UK.

For Netanyahu, the war in Gaza was not enough. Iran was not enough. He is now waging a full-blown war of expansion in Lebanon. The time is long overdue for Congress to listen to the American people and end U.S. military aid to the extremist Israeli government.

Today, more than 80% of the Democratic caucus stood with the American people and voted to block U.S. military aid to Netanyahu and his horrific, illegal wars.

The bottom line every Democratic voter needs to understand is that you cannot weed out corruption by voting it in. You will never see a candidate earnestly take on the influence of money in politics by capitulating to it. If you haven’t figured this out yet, you need to get onboard.

It’s wild how large swathes of people in this country believe themselves to be politically well-informed, but every 8-10 years they admit to being wrong about the one big political thing they said they were right about and supported for years on end.

Thank you to everyone who supported this campaign. Together we were able to do things never seen in American politics, to set a new standard from what we should expect from the people who try to represent us. What we built matters, regardless of the outcome. And the work isn’t over.

This was a beautiful read and reminds me of the love of my life and also the love my brother and his wife share. Two people trying to make the world a better place brought together by their shared love for animals needing help. People who do the right thing when it’s hard or scary.

Billionaires dream of a future where people can pay off their iPhones using a lease or loan that’s tied to Kalshi where people can bet on whether or not you can pay it off.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

A “Palantir” in Lord of the Rings is described as a “dangerous tool” by Gandalf. The “palantiri” turn two characters evil (Denethor II and Saruman). Peter Thiel decided to name his “$423B” AI surveillance tool after them. It’s not far off from naming a new weapon the Death Star.

The open hostility toward @davidhogg111 suggesting we stop running candidates “asleep at the wheel” is a potent reminder of the irredeemable aspects of the Democratic Party. He’s not even calling for publicly funded campaigns. He’s basically saying we should stop running cancer patients for office.

The term “leftist” is now as diluted as “progressive” was in 2016. I know someone pushing a Buttigieg 2028 presidency now ascribing to the label. If we want to break free from our trajectory toward fascism, the solution is simple: stop supporting candidates who take corporate campaign finances.
