#greenland - boycott AI until the techbros stop pushing the orange menace for it.

Every day this year I have woken up, looked at the news, and and repeated to myself, "Don't take the bait. Do not take the bait."
Don't take the bait. They're fishing and we're not gonna fall for it.

Finally watched Del Toro's Frankenstein. Was really excited when I first heard about it. Read some reviews that made think I'd probably skip it. Glad I did not. This was one of those movies that made me forget who I am, where I was, and how to breathe.

There's a difference between Q and MAGA.
Q cares about Epstein and child trafficking - they are already demoralized
MAGA honestly doesn't. It's one of those things they hand-wave away. What MAGA cares about is the orange menace thinks they're stupid. Put Ingraham interview on a loop. Everywhere.

reserving the right to change my mind - but right now if given the right to pick the ticket:

Why is no one acknowledging that Vance and Johnson are doing the Weekend at Bernie's thing with the cognitively compromised barely walking husk that is the orange menace?

Need a more recent example? Look at Gaza.
Hamas thought the violence on 10/7 was justified.
They just gave Netanyahu the excuse he wanted to wreak havoc on Gaza.
Don't be stupid like Hamas.
Be smart like Dr. King.

Non-violent protests work. Litigation works. Policy works.
Violence may feel like what's needed in the moment, but it doesn't actually work.

The setup is elegant in its cruelty:

Starve people
Show them spectacular wealth simultaneously (the ballroom)
When they react violently - as they've been trained and provoked to do
Use that violence as justification for the crackdown you wanted all along

Reminder - Solving political problems with violence just puts even more violent people in charge. Check the French Revolution if you want to see how this goes. The rich stayed rich. The poor stayed poor. The violent went under their own guillotine.

3)Wealth Distribution
Keep every dollar you earn — if you’re feeding the hungry. If not, give it to the government so they can.
Core value: Wealth is justified only by service. Otherwise, redistribute.

5)Immigration
You want a strong economy? Welcome immigrants. That’s the magic behind every thriving modern economy. Isolationism kills growth. Ask China. Ask Japan.
Core value: Movement builds strength. Borders should not be barriers to survival.
November 6, 2025 at 3:56 AM
4)Policing
Cops start out wanting to protect their communities. Then their humanity gets eroded by the worst of what people do. Don’t ask them to do everything. Bring in community services. Give the cops a break.
Core value: Protect the protectors. Rebuild public safety through care not punishment.

2)Climate Change
“We’ve blown past tipping points. This isn’t about individual effort anymore — it’s existential. Governments must act, or we all die. Not eventually. All at once.”
Core value: Urgency over optics. Collective survival over corporate delay.

1)Healthcare
Human beings need healthcare to survive. We already pay the government — it should provide the basics for life. Doctors and nurses deserve fair compensation, but insurance companies should never be allowed to deny benefits.
Core value: Survival is non-negotiable. Care is a public good.

Every revolution, every uprising has had hunger at its root. So either they're catastrophically miscalculating, or they're counting on the chaos.

Where are all the "good" billionaires? What is that damned money for if not this?
November 2, 2025 at 8:53 PM
They are letting children go hungry. They are going to let them starve. This is no longer a government in any actual sense of the word.

Once there was an orange mouse in my house and I thought, I guess I have a pet mouse now. I named it Stuart but Stuart had friends. They destroyed everything.
I threw out all my furniture & appliances, found where they were getting in, tiled over it, got 2 cats.
There's a mouse in the house again.

@governor.ca.gov Are you aware that SCE is cutting power to rural areas during heat waves? For days on end? People are suffering heat-related illness. Deaths will be inevitable. Can you do something?

Trans rights are human rights. Because transgender people are fully human, so they get all the rights. Does that make it fucking clear?
