A great description of how the pursuit of attention (ad revenue) amplifies and potentially normalizes hate-filled rhetoric.

The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it.

ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures.

Losers with power become the most dangerous kind.

Walz: "It boggles my damn mind that in the midst of a military takeover of our cities, the flaunting of the rule of law, that the press finds the need to talk about, 'Oh, there's a division in the Dem Party.' There's a division in my damn house & we're still married and things are good. That's life"

There will never be another Anthony Bourdain but we can certainly learn from him and spread his message of humanity.

He’s known for defending international street vendors, immigrant restaurant workers and cooks no matter what country he is in bc he sees everyone as equal. #OnYourSide

CNN’s Jason Carroll was zip-tied and escorted away—for reporting the news. But they claimed he wasn’t under arrest?

Why are they shooting rubber bullets at and silencing journalists? We still have a First Amendment.

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle.

Don't give them one.

Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

Increasingly what our rulers mean when they say "efficiency" is not delivering more good to human beings with less waste and cost, but rather enslavement and systemic murder of human beings for more profit.

But the purpose of human beings is not efficiency.

Our Purpose Isn't Efficiency

Society is not a corporation and we are not its employees. Moving the sick American spirit toward health by abandoning fool notions and damned lies.

CBS reporter Scott Pelley:

This is a warning that I fear many will look back on in five or six years and think “he was so right”.

Great showing at Missoula's Hands Off rally today!

It was an honor to get to speak briefly, and to introduce the folks doing amazing work on the ground here in Missoula.
