@marcpieterse.bsky.social I'm reminded of a line in the beautiful song by David Crosby and Graham Nash - A Critical Mass/Wind on the Water/To the Last Whale. It goes, "It's not that we don't know. It's just that we don't want to care." This line has haunted me for years. Listen to the song.

@velshi.com I enjoyed your talk about Tolstoy and how his writings relate to our troubles today.

Label someone an enemy and you surely will have an enemy. Label them a friend and you surely will have a friend. The decision is ours to make. Think before you label.

Heartbreaking! I stopped eating dairy because I cared about animal welfare. I hope you care enough to stop eating dairy. Your heart will thank you. The dairy cows will thank you.

@axios.com I wish a reporter would ask Trump if he knew what "Antifa" stood for? I bet he would not know. Again, I raise the point - "Antifa" is just a shortening of the term "anti-fascist." And, by definition, if you're against Antifa and what it stands for then you are pro-fascist.

Oh, how I would love to take the POS who tied up this monkey and tie him up the same he tied up the monkey. This is the only way to make those POS people understand the pain they carelessly and callously inflict on innocent animals.

When a democrat president is elected, maybe he/she should review this tape and remove everyone who is clapping. Remember - democrats can have a loyalty test as well.

Cruelty is the point. Cruelty promotes fear. Fear is the tool of the tyrant. Sic semper tyrannis.

Sickeing! I would like to put those guys in a cage like what that pig was in and see how they like it. Maybe then they would understand what fear and helplessness feels like.

@axios.com The rightful claim of presidential abuse of power is solely the result of Trump's claim of a Unitary Executive, an all powerful executive not subject to congressional or judicial review. We are now sadly reminded of the age old adage: power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

The rightful claim of presidential abuse of power is solely the result of Trump's claim of a Unitary Executive, an all powerful executive not beholding to congressional or judicial review. Here's the danger with a Unitary Executive - there can be no check on Trump. A tyrant's dream come true.
