This is oligarchy. This is obscene.
While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%.
End this oligarchy.

Take a break, watch the fireflies.
Bluesky you deserve some fireflies in a cornfield. Not pictured-the young hawk chased away by robins, the enormous kale after the rain, the smell of the tomato plant leaves.

Populism wastes time we don't have and elects bad leaders.

The elections we are experiencing are not typical Left vs Right elections. They're an existential battle between post-WWII democracies and propaganda-fed populist extremists and authoritarians. Countries that lose these battles may not recover the democracy they have known for a long time.

Loss of moral education lies at the heart of our currently less kind, more cruel world!
But we CAN change that.
We can build a kinder, more compassionate society—starting with ourselves.
Each of us has the power to lead by example.
Kindness inspires kindness.
Kindness is contagious!

On May 10, 1842, Charles Dickens, The Original Prison Tourist, left Kingston at 9:30am on local steamboat Gildersleeve heading for Montreal.
There's no indication of his impact on the local economy because Tourism Kingston wasn't funded by taxes yet.

Lies & truth
When regularly misled by politicians, seeing the world as it truly is, becomes a challenge.
To make wise decisions, we must seek out facts through our own inquiry & critical thinking.
We owe it to our children, to future generations, & above all, to our integrity & moral conscience.

THE most important political issue facing us now is our corrupt campaign finance system & Citizens United.
As long as Musk, AIPAC & crypto money can buy politicians, we’re not living in a democracy.
We must end billionaire control of our politics and publicly fund elections.

Trump is a criminal through and through. He and all of his cronies must be held accountable for their many crimes. Can we please skip the world war part and get straight to their prosecution by the ICC? Millions of lives are at stake, billions if Trump's buddy Putin goes nuclear in Ukraine.
