Hasan Piker is right. Germans abroad were used as a human shield when pro Nazis defended Germany against war crime accusations by saying the accusers are just biased against Germans. This is what pro Israelis are doing. It increased anti German sentiment and it increases antisemitic extremism.

Israel is a terrorist nation, that has killed more people, including the actions of its bully big brother the U.S., in terroristic actions than any middle eastern terrorist group in the modern era.

Electoral democracy creates a class of people who corrupt it and those willing to take the money to get into office. It is the most undemocratic way to choose representatives. A sortition based selection system where the chosen is law bound to vote with their constituents is less corruptible.

A long thread. But I wanted to understand why our society is so committed to work that 1/3rd of the time is meaningless bureaucratic nonsense. Another 1/3rd actively harms people. And the last third is people cleaning up the first 2/3rds’ mess. Tyranny backed by violence founded the United States.

The reason for most of the division in the country is because the government only works for rich people. People less aware of this fact scapegoat groups they already dislike.

This here is the danger. It’s not that the left will make some future centrist lose. It’s that the party’s donors, that the Dem leadership listen to more than anyone else, threatened fascism to avoid paying 1960 effective tax rates. Dem leaders need canned. www.ft.com/content/b896...

Fungi are the base and core of the ecosystem. We want humanity to last? We have to make our society resemble nature. At the core it must upcycle wastes and design things to break down naturally. We must become fun guys and make this world fun for our kids. No more dangerous chemicals.

There’s this relationship with value and values. When people do jobs that are more socially valuable, say a janitor or teacher, the less their salary. The people with the least societal value are paid vast fortunes like hedge fund managers and ceos. CEOs don’t strike because they’re unneeded

People really don’t get how the whims of the rich have stolen time and money from them. We could’ve automated most office and manual labor. A 15hr workweek is possible with a higher standard of living if we invested in the technology to do that as a society. The economy is planned now.

I’m sorry this whole “never criticize Dems cuz party unity” is such bullshit. Schumer is a spineless cretin. Him and Jeffries are the reason why there’s been zero consistent messaging, zero vision. They’re sending strongly worded letters to Trump who can barely read his own teleprompter…

David Graeber’s books Debt: The First 5,000 Years and The Dawn of Everything really encapsulates how we got to the rich bailing each other out through governments. Rugged individualism for the poor, communism for the rich. It used to be the other way around.

A lot of people’s worries can be mended by realizing what is existentially true. #poem #poetry

A FRANK FRIEND

Your body, your mind, what are they?
Eaten food grows your behind, child’s play.
Grown from gathered life you are
Cut your hand off and stick it in a jar.
You’re in two! You're here and trapped afar?

Surely not! Hear this and know it true.
What you own cannot be you
Your hand obeys your will
Is it you? Are you eager to die on this hill?
Gathered from outside, it's not you still.

Writing with clouds, a plane prints out thoughts.
You’re the same when thinking about was’s and oughts.
A plane could write the word ‘sky’ in effort of wit
But the word would not be the true blue, bit would not be it.
Is a blank canvas a problem?
I’m glad space is empty, does that larn em?

What tells the bees to build a hive?
What beats your heart keeping you alive?
It cannot be named, labels offend it chiefly
Words don’t work even when used briefly
Searching inward always helps, no matter how measly.
What is this life sustaining thing that supports even a sea flea?

Look inside and what do you find?
What's beneath the raging waves of your mind?
Everything you think of is a copy rearranged.
Without memory are you gone? A husk deranged?
A blue sky, a pretty day, this is your mind defanged.
If we miss the sky for the cloud we’d be sorry for certain
More happens under the ocean than on the surface.

Identity is a crutch Something to lean on when you’ve forgotten.
You’re like this moment, eternal, never rotten.
Worries of the past and future happen now
Engage in life while sap is in the bough.
Break your mask and be in the play somehow
Cast off, blindly leap, in love please fall.
Explore the world, nothing sacred to keep, love all.

The time for flowers comes to a close a new flower must bloom. We must come together under an umbrella of goals that ensure everyone has healthcare, a home, food, water, and thriving, not just getting by. How’s it possible? We tax the rich right after we beat the fascists in 1945. So we must again

Day 1 of the first signs of flowering. Tiny tubes of light purple erupt. The leaves from this plant have been used as a medicinal tea.

Day 2 those tiny tubes have grown a few more millimeters. This plant is not related to the bergamot fruit.

Day 3 and those tiny tubes explode with pollen rich goodness. A bubble member goes to town and reminds us why it’s called bee balm. Thymol is an antiseptic in mouthwash and this plant is the natural source.
