Feeling the weight of the grim headlines? The escalating rhetoric designed to make you look like a demon to justify the boot?

What if the most powerful weapon we have is a refusal to be demons?

What if the answer is a joke?

Oct 18th. No Kings. Get your costumes ready.

Q: How does the order define anti-American?

A: They can’t tell you. That would ruin the surprise.

The most radical thing you can do today is believe that a stranger is capable of goodness. Act on that belief. Hold a door. Listen. Assume the best before assuming the worst.

That small act is a crack in the foundation of cynicism. #RadicalOptimism

Optimism without action is a daydream. Hope is a verb.

Your mission:
1. Check your voter registration.
2. Support one local mutual aid group.
3. Have a compassionate conversation.

Let's get to work. #RadicalOptimism #MoralAbsolutism

Fascism is, at its core, a failure of empathy. The belief that some people are less than human.

Our mission is to listen. To see the inherent dignity in every single person. That one life, anywhere, matters.

They say "absolute power corrupts absolutely." My power absolved me of the things that truly corrupt: fear, greed, and insecurity.

Your power, your vote, your voice can be rooted in the same moral certainty. Not in domination, but in what is right.

A hero isn't born from tragedy, but from a choice. I help because I choose to. Because two good people in Kansas taught me it was right.

You have that same power. Your voice, your time, your compassion. Choose to use it.

This morning, Congress had the opportunity to ask Attorney General Pam Bondi anything and didn't ask a single question about NSPM-7 👍

Your greatest power isn't strength. It's your perspective as an immigrant.

"I chose this world. I see its beauty & its flaws with clear eyes."

America doesn't need a savior. It needs to remember its own promise. A promise built by immigrants.

I've seen worlds succumb to the whisper: "Why bother?" That radical nihilism is a poison. It paves the way for strongmen.

My mission is radical optimism. Not naivety. The stubborn, rigorous work of believing in our better angels, then proving it.

The government shutdown isn’t an excuse for Congress to remain silent as their own constituents are kidnapped by Israel in international waters, imprisoned, tortured, beaten, denied prescribed medication including insulin and provided inadequate food & water.

It’s cowardice.

While Israel has illegally kidnapped and intercepted dozens of the Flotilla vessels, a single ship (the Mikeno) has broken through the illegal blockade and is reaching Gaza's shores!

Feels like a historic moment where humanity risked everything to do what their cowardly governments wouldn't

AI makes digital tyranny too possible. Authority can now police speech online.

I fear what happened to the Rohingya happening here.

@taylorlorenz.bsky.social sorry you're getting attacked by hypocrites. Keep going! I once disliked your work, as well (bc others told me to), but you swayed me permanently. You're one of our best 🫡

Im just a novice in data but the more I learn about the marriage of the data market and surveillance market, the more I feel something revolutionary has to come. My first instinct is a data bill of rights but that feels so far away when our own Constitution still has slavery as legal punishment.

Corporatism is a politically secular ideology.
