I aspire to be an interesting person one day but burdens of reality have always had other plans for my time.

If there’s one thing I could scream to this forum, it’s this:
Ds don’t need to and shouldn’t change their beliefs.
But tone, OMG, D’s ~TONE~ is annoying as fuck. Even if you totally agree.

My nail polish these days is all dark.
But every time, I find my eyes drifting to the bright, glittery ones.
Sometimes I feel like that spark of optimism despite where we’re going is really a spark of insanity.

There’s a specific mechanism in authoritarian movements that we’re seeing play out in real-time across American media and tech. It’s a simple rule: "If we cannot co-opt it, we must destroy it."
It is the logic of "scorched earth." It's the logic of the Nero Decree and it's happening right now. 🧵

We are led to believe there are two teams: Ds and Rs, but in reality the two teams are those beholden to corporate special interests (which is like 90+% of both parties) and the ones that aren't. Following politics is like watching a Super Bowl where 90% of both teams owe a ton of money to a bookie.

I always say that the old axiom "Never mistake for malice that which can be attributed to incompetence" is wholly inverted when it comes to the wealthy and powerful.

As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis stated in 1933; “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.”

It's a regime of hate and incompetence meant to distract you from the grifting and stealing
Stephen Miller shares worth $50,000 to $100,000 in the mining company MP Materials following a lucrative deal between the company and the Trump admin.
The sale came just one month after the admin announced measures to support MP Materials. The deal led MP Materials' share price to skyrocket.

LEAVE Twitter already, folks. Get the fuck off there.
The only surefire way to stop oligarchs buying up the things we love is to drop those things the moment oligarchs buy them & that requires changing habits and massive self-discipline.
It means going to alternatives that might not be quite as good or convenient.
It’s really hard. But there it is.

Trump's farmer bailout will primarily go to massive row-crop farmers. Big Ag as they say. Smaller and diversified farms are getting something else - it rhymes with shackjit.
Trump is going to dump tens of $ billions in payments for huge commodity farmers to compensate for huge losses they will suffer from his idiotic trade war. Meanwhile, small farmers growing for local markets will get nothing. Just canceled grants and "thoughts and prayers". wapo.st/3YXdAbU
A Kansas family farm, barely getting by, grapples with Trump’s cuts
Like many of his rural neighbors in northeast Kansas, Jacob Thomas is trying to compensate for deep losses in federal funding. There’s worry and anger.

Republicans are trying to turn the Arctic Refuge into a gas station for Big Oil. No more drilling, no more disgrace. Our public lands belong to the people—not polluters.
