Empathy, like outrage, is mine alone to assign not yours to police. Moral superiority is awarded not to the oppressed but to the privileged. “For it is never reason that decides on the justification of means and the justness of ends, but fate.” ~ Walter Benjamin

Don’t get me wrong, I’ll happily grab some popcorn and enjoy the latest Alien vs. Predator installment, but a part of me can’t help wondering what exactly they’re trying to distract us from with this…

I’m going to say it bluntly: if you’re still writing about Biden’s cognitive abilities while in office in June 2025, I’m discarding you as a blogger rather than a journalist at this point.

If the Department of Education is eliminated, states will face steep funding gaps. Arizona would see the biggest increase in education costs at 34%, while New Jersey would see around 10%. This shift would strain state budgets and impact students nationwide. #EducationMatters #FundOurSchools

All of the so-called "patriots" who are cheering the felon's dismantling of DEI is indicative as to why it was needed in the first place. That's right. There are people among us who never wanted women, the disabled, or people of color to have equal opportunities. True story☕️

The shock over how 47 operates underscores how many people live on autopilot, ignoring the signs that have always been there. Commuting sentences for racist insurrectionists or associating with individuals who openly perform Nazi salutes isn’t new, it’s consistent with who he’s always been.

If 47 wants to drag us back to 1965 with advisors stuck before 1945 / 1865, let’s go further to 1789 to end this oligarchy like the French, or 1776 to create a government for all, not just rich white men. America’s promise is progress, and we need to move past the endless cycles of regression.

“Tuning Out Won’t Fix It, But Burning Out Won’t Either.” Shutting down or ignoring what 47 does won’t help, but protecting your mental health matters. Listen to your body and learn how to stay informed, set boundaries, and focus your energy where it count (without losing yourself along the way).

Ever thought about running for office, driven by passion and a desire for change, but worry no one would break from the incumbent or your lack of experience might hold you back? Just me? lol I’d love to see younger politicians, but those in power rarely step aside, making it feel impossible.

Two questions I never asked that were answered recently: (1) How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie pop? (2) How many millions of dollars does it take to buy the US presidency? Coincidentally, both answers are around 250-275.

Both parties have failed Americans. In the past 4 years, ~$230B in foreign aid could’ve canceled the $220B in medical debt. Meanwhile, the ~$1.5T in corporate subsidies could’ve nearly canceled the $1.6T in federal student loans. It’s time to prioritize American people over profits.

Seeing “Deny, Defend, Depose” across Paris feels oddly validating … like a shared call to resist and stand firm. Whether in graffiti or on protest banners, it captures a universal spirit of defiance and resilience. It’s a powerful reminder that the fight for justice knows no borders.

Would the CEO’s assassination still spark criticism if it happened outside a school? Is gun violence only unacceptable when it targets the elite? We’re on day 10 of coverage…school shootings get ~3-7, with tragedies like Sandy Hook or Columbine topping the cycle for ~10 days.

Now that the Assad regime has fallen, it might be a good time for Senators to ask Tulsi Gabbard why she went on an unsanctioned trip to meet with Assad and proceeded to say he isn’t an enemy of the United States.

Do you know how much progress Democrats could make by turning out just 3% more rural voters? Three percent. This is exactly why I focus on rural down-ballot candidates. They may not be able to win their own race, but they can help races at the top of the ticket. carsey.unh.edu/publication/...

Modest Changes in Rural Voting Could Have Significant Implications in 2024
In this brief, authors Dante Scala and Kenneth Johnson estimate how much a slightly better (or worse) performance by the candidates in the rural areas of seven battleground states could influence the outcome of the 2024 election.

The fact that so many people and politicians are working tirelessly and implementing safeguards to prevent 47’s overreach should be a glaring red flag to everyone. It confirms what we’ve been saying all along: he lacks the judgment, character, and competence necessary to lead effectively.
