Hello BlueSky and Happy New Year for those who adhere to the Gregorian Calendar. I am getting old, married, and a father to 2 almost grown children. I do not want to invest in your crypto, I do not want to pay for your car, birthday, data plans, etc. I really enjoy connecting with others.

👀Now that ICE/DHS are planning to buy ‘mega’ warehouse detention centers across the US to house human beings you might want to listen to this gentleman’s history lesson that he delivered at a city council meeting in AZ. Congress needs to have hearings on this like yesterday.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

It would be weird to know planes are landing at a 3 minute interval at DFW airport because each plane disrupts my home wi-fi just enough to send my TV back to its Home Screen.

It doesn't matter what the Constitution says. If the government can execute you on the street or in your own home on a whim, you have no rights. None.

Trump, Clinton, Bannon, Summers and the wealthy, powerful people on both sides of the aisle who keep us divided being part of the same pedophile friend group should be eye-opening to the people who still believe our struggle is Right vs Left, and not the Top vs the rest of us.

This US government circus is your reminder that having billions of dollars is more than enough to own both parties. The whole shutdown was orchestrated from the beginning.

So, what do we call a nation of laws where the only ones obligated to comply are those who are governed? Google says autocracy, dictatorship, or absolute monarchy… no democratic republic mentioned… 🤔

The individual maximum a person can donate to a NYC mayoral candidate is $2100.
Mike Bloomberg just donated $8.3 million to Andrew Cuomo through a super PAC.
This is what a rigged campaign finance system, designed to let the wealthy buy elections, looks like.

Republicans called cancelling student loan debt a “giveaway” to the working class, so Trump is restarting predatory student loan repayments to fund tax breaks that are giveaways to corporations and the super-wealthy.
This what an oligarchy robbing us blind looks like.

Guys, it's the oligarchs. If you want to blame someone for 2024, blame the oligarchs. Anyone telling you to blame someone else is part of the oligarchy. Dark money has been to blame since citizens united.

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.
They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.
France also gave us this land as American soil.

Reminder:
When companies pay less than a living wage and don’t offer healthcare, their workers are forced to rely on taxpayer-funded social safety nets like Medicaid and SNAP.
That’s not a handout to workers.
That’s a handout to the companies exploiting them.
