("dye") I don't *believe* in certain things, but I recognize their inevitability: capitalism, religion, tribalism, fear, greed, malice, mistakes, confusion, ignorance. No offense intended.

“If you get a benevolent dictator, it’s actually extremely efficient." Gigantic, massive, unachievable, impossible "if," working harder than any "if" ever has. How about "If wishes were horses, beggars would ride"?

California gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton's lesbian seduction ad is disturbing in so many ways, but it's also quite revealing of the way the Right wing sees queerness. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGrG...

"We're killing all the right people." To me, this claim, made sincerely, is the only criterion necessary to indicate that a person is unserious, unqualified for public office, and possibly a murderer.

Trump is starting to lose something very important to him — and I’m not just talking about his mind. Watch.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

Somehow, "don't force us to get vaccinated" has turned into "force everyone to not get vaccinated." That's a whole magnitude or so worse.

I just realized the U.S.A. doesn't have a Department of Excursions. It does, however, supposedly have a Department of *War*, which is currently engaged in either a spat or a tiff.

Here's what democrats can do to be taken more seriously: Figure out your principles AND STICK TO THEM! Don't triangulate on immigration as Harris did in 2024. Don't "shift to the center" in the general. This is why people don't like you (even when they hold their noses and vote for you).

Thought of the day: There is little evidence that immigrants to the U.S. commit crimes at a significantly greater rate per capita than citizens do, except for the crime of existing.

Any person who claims that a group of humans is "not as good" as them or "deserves" less freedom has instantly disqualified themselves from being treated like a real human. When you see someone behave this way, remember that anything else they say is meaningless or criminal.

Today's thoughts about society: 1. To live in a society that treats you better, you’ll have to create a society that’s designed to systematically treat everyone better. 2. To create a society that treats everyone better, you have to want everyone to be treated better.

I keep seeing photos of trump with the right side of his face drooping, but haven't noticed anyone commenting on it. Are these photos real? Not being a doctor, I don't know if a stroke is the only explanation, but if so, it seems like a pretty big thing.

31 years ago this month, I warned that America was becoming a two-tiered society composed of a few winners and a larger group left behind, whose anger and disillusionment could be easily manipulated. I took a lot of heat for this speech. Watch and tell me if I was wrong.

@radiofreetom.bsky.social, I like your writing, but come on. The strategic concerns around nuclear testing have nothing to do with this. Trump doesn't care what the reality is or what the international rules are. If he can do it, he will, advisability be damned. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Why is it that the right wing is worried about low birth rates in America, but they keep trying to deport all those "anchor babies" and child immigrants who could contribute to a solution?
