I pass on a lot of good information I dig up elsewhere and occasionally offer my own two cents. US/UK economics, politics, pandemics, humor as a defense mechanism. #CleanAir #EndBrexit #PunchNazis #Humanist

The energy we need is this suburban dad standing out in the street -- barefoot with Blackhawks pajama pants on -- screaming at the masked goons to get the fuck out of their neighborhood.

A lot of folks may think that just yelling at ICE agents is ineffective, but consider the cumulative psychological toll of being yelled at EVERY DAY when trying to do shit. Even the biggest asshole in the world who doesn't give a shit about other people will feel the pressure.

Tweet 1: "So there's no future where Bezos and Branson are sipping champagne next to their space-pool on Low-Earth Maralago, ok? There's no way life in space could be remotely comfortable or preferable to life on earth in their lifetimes, or for many generations to come, or probably ever. /"
Tweet 2: "The longest anyone's lived in space was Scott Kelly, who spent a year in space, got home, and immediately retired. He'd spent all his life preparing and training to be in space, and found it extremely physically and psychologically grueling to [be] up there for just one year. /"
Tweet 3: "So this billionaire "space race" is nothing more than a dick-measuring contest between Musk, Bezos, and Branson. They are not investing billions to forward science or the bounds of human possibility. They are doing it to be the first rich guy to bounce around uselessly up there. /"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2wriqbpqwovubi4t6ombrouu/bafkreibalrkye2fvim75temciir4hdsbslpmzplpwcaq34667agzxfkume@jpeg)

"Just because Mr Trump has labelled some migrants and even leftist opponents as “terrorists” does not mean he will use the armed forces against them. But right now it’s not clear what, besides his own inclinations, might prevent him." | The Economist
When people glorify ‘Tough On Crime’ they are just saying that they are gleefully punitive & nothing more.
Being tough on crime isn’t the same as addressing crime. We know that the largest predictor for reducing crime is addressing need.
Reducing benefits increases crime, endangering everyone.

With millions at risk of losing SNAP in the coming days, a reminder: hunger doesn't happen in isolation. When food assistance disappears, families use rent money to eat. Then come evictions and homelessness.
Housing, food, healthcare—it's all connected. Cut one thread and the whole thing unravels.
