This co-write with #gatesandgoodell has 7K views on Facebook. Sorry, but we're small potatoes; that's huge for us! I think it'd make a great Alice in Chains song.

Come listen to How Far Down on youtube:

Ouch. But also, thank you, and I don't blame you.

This is why Trump-Epstein is a winning issue for the Left.

Republicans will abandon any values to protect their powerful.

Whereas the vast majority of us don’t care who on our side goes down in this. If they’re pedophiles, they belong in prison. Full stop.

Right-wing folks are so ride or die for their candidates regardless of that candidate's morality or presence of a heart or pulse, the left saying SHITCAN CLINTON prolly is confusing as hell, tbh.

But also umm.

Fuck Bill Clinton.

How many times in your life have you heard a member of Congress or someone on TV say “we can’t afford it” when talking about something small but very important? It’s been happening my entire life. We can’t afford it? They’re putting seven times the annual budget of the EPA into immigrant detention.

Hi. I stand corrected. Here is one more post to close out the day.

There are still people protesting near Reid Park.

Tucsonans have been protesting for the last 12 hours as part of #NoKings day.

At times like this, I always think of this photo from the Jan 20, 2017 "violent" protests in DC.
A photo of a single garbage can with a small flame in it surrounded by at least a dozen reporters all crouching and standing around it to get the proper angle of the garbage can without getting the other reporters or other  significant number of people calmly standing around the alleged violent scene. Of course, on the news sites, all you wind up seeing is a burning garbage can, not the large group of people calmly standing around it taking photos and chatting.

But the media keeps covering it as if it's riots, as if things are burning to the ground instead of shrubbery set on fire by flashbangs. The media keeps acting as if peaceful protests are violent.

I want to talk about how the media is going to be responsible for increasing levels of violence.

Here's the thing: the protests have been peaceful.

“The ruling class”

No you racist asshole for once in your misbegotten days stop trying to make the lives of people of color the side note to your fantasies about rich people

People are protecting their NEIGHBORS who are being terrorized

Update: the mayor put out those statements yesterday afternoon, signed the budget late last night — and this is the statement she put out this morning
Mayor Bass Signs Budget And
Announces Plan To Restore LAPD Hiring with Council Leadership
LOS ANGELES - Mayor Karen Bass
yesterday signed a balanced budget and announced that she has secured an agreement with City Council leadership to restore LAPD hiring levels. Council leadership will identify funds for an additional 240 recruits within 90 days. The money will be used after LAPD fulfills hiring 240 officers.

There is “playing into there hands” and there’s the very basic “doing what’s right”

I see a lot of potential for overlap— and my least concern is how doing the right thing might play out politically. Just saying. Fascists will crack down when they want; they will fabricate the excuse if necessary.

Should be famous quote: "I worry about loss of basic freedom!"

It is a serious concern!

Next question: WHY IS THIS NOT BIG NEWS???

I used to wonder why the German people looked the other way or pretended they had no idea that their neighbors and friends were being arrested and loaded on trains to hell. IT IS HAPPENING HERE AND NOW TODAY AND AMERICANS APPROVE. When my country ends up looking like this, we deserved it.

I agree. The two things are not joined at the hip. I run into far too many people who insist that I'm Anti-Semitic for saying that Genocide is bad.

PLEASE UNDERSTAND that personnel is the easiest way to manage company budget.

You are expendable in this market.

The old keeping your job by hiding how you do what you do won't work anymore. We have internet.

Work on your skillset, and keep applying for jobs, even if you like the one you have.
