Trump has said the Iran war is almost over at least 60 times. It's been 212 days. 19 service members are dead, 800+ wounded, $43 billion gone. We counted every broken promise with @votevets.org.

Stop telling women what to do. Stop telling us to do all of the work. Stop acting like you know more about our struggle than we do. Stand up for your fellow human being without any reward because that’s what we’re supposed to do. Ffs.

A war on our doorstep. The worst conflict in Europe since World War II. And here's the thing: this is not just a war that is killing innocents; it's a war of terror. The Kremlin says it wants to freeze Ukrainians into defeat."

ALL men benefit from male violence, because it allows you to think you’re a good person because you haven’t assaulted a woman. That does not make you a good person, but you have collectively put that bar in hell.

re: trump's popularity and "authenticity". (A person is inauthentic when they pretend to be someone they are not.) trump is authentically a misogynist and bigot and conman. But now, he pretends his increasingly obvious physical and mental infirmities do not exist and this is inauthentic.

People want credit for doing good things. If we ask, “if you could save the world but no one would ever know, would you?”, people might say, “no, I wouldn’t bother.” Likewise, they want to be seen as “good people” so they do the right thing, but if no one ever knows, they will do what benefits them.

Interesting analysis of xenophobia that manifests in many ways. It’s us against them, and features displays of dominance so others can be oppressed or worse.

I don't think we disdain the center-right enough. First, they rode nativist populist tigers to power to get their tax cuts and deregulation; Then, they lost control of their own parties to those tigers; Now, they sit in lucrative jobs as columnists writing about how it's all the left's fault.

A competent opposition party would be relentlessly connecting Trump to the Republican Party w the goal of crushing American fascism for at least a generation. But the opposition party is not doing that. Their strategists are saying “heterodox” and “bipartisan,” their leaders are courting crypto $.

There are things that should be common goods, from which others should not be excluded. These things should not be subject to a profit motive. And efficiency is not the highest good.

As I said in the piece, our opposition is leveraging fear to push a ballot campaign that would undo our strong gun laws in MA. That is not what safety looks like. Fear may sell guns, but it doesn’t offer solutions to gun violence. It doesn’t keep our communities safe. Or our children.

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office 2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor 3) Donors make huge profit 4) Repeat We must get big money out of politics. It is the root of our dysfunction.

Was thinking earlier: If we have enough, what are we fighting over? So it comes down to defining “enough”. As we have seem with most billionaires, there is never enough. They are aberrant humans and we have given them too much of our power to affect reality.

Great conversation, so much to think about. One thing I took away is that we have agency, we can go on strike, and refuse to go along with whoever is pretending to be our overlords. It's always nice to have some company on a picket line, but we get to decide our actions.

Rubio said dismantling the ICC was about U.S. security. Then Trump admitted it was really about protecting Netanyahu. The ICC prosecutes alleged war criminals through due process, with evidence and fair trials - not bombs, kidnappings, or impunity.

Then the president, almost bored, waved it away and told everyone what it actually was. A tribunal built to try the people who order atrocities is being dismantled, brick by brick, to keep one man off its docket

Eliminating Head Start was a goal of project 2025. Without standards, I'm guessing red states can do to this program what they're doing to K-12: introducing Christian nationalist curriculum.
