I fear the working class has handed over any power we might’ve had by pushing for the rich to “get political”. Now most political activists are a part of the upper class/elite & their actions often amount to a publicity stunt. I think, too, conflating celebrity w/ policy has led to Trump in office.

I really can’t wrap my head around congressional Democrats’ response to the past 12 days of crises. It reeks of pathetic capitulation. Trump is asserting dictatorial powers of absolute control over the entire government and the reaction is “we don’t swing at every pitch”? An appalling abdication.

Remember we were so worried about TikTok getting our data that we banned it? Then we gave Elon Musk and his cronies access to Social Security and Medicare benefits, tax refunds, federal salaries, and other sensitive information.

A lot of polyam people are actually demisexual, meaning they don’t have sex without a connection. Most of us are simply emotionally intelligent lovers who are forming communities with other adults who think like us. #polyamthreads #polyamory
