Story time!

A couple week ago I emailed my endocrinologist to ask for a video appointment for progesterone. The response from his assistant was "I'll forward this to him, but right now I'm booking appointments for January 2026".

What we're doing to Musk and Tesla right now is the template. We can take them out of power together.

This is Phase 1
Keep going

You are appalled by the idea that you may die for your country.

It seems the only ones willing to die for this democracy, this country, this nation are the very minorities that you’ve kept oppressed

I don’t have to agree with the Gaza protestors to defend their right to protest.

And I don’t have to want Venezuelan gang members to be here on our soil, to defend their right to due process.

Either we are a nation of laws or we are not.

And if we are not, then all is lost.

Folks do not know what the #environment is, the language is cold and distant. The #climate is the same. Language matters. Life hangs, earth's life supports are collapsing, this is an all encompassisng big deal that determines the fate of generations and life itself . . .

Posting this from months ago because we DO have homegrown experience with autocratic regimes in this country.

In nearly half this country during the first 6 decades of the 20th century Black people lived under systems of cruelty, voter suppression, hate, state violence & corruption. Ask them!

The tariffs on Canada will only hurt US citizens, but like, that's the point? Maga's entire schtick is using increased hardship to scapegoat people they don't like. They don't give a damn about hardship, only how they can use it. They only care if it's a sellable idea, not if it's a cogent policy.

The general message, I guess, is that if you're just noticing how screwed up everything is right now, and you want to know what the people who never had the luxury of not noticing have to say...

Patterns are repeating. Some of the options are bad, and none of them are good.

Buckle up.

Normalize breaking up corporations for ethical violations. If corporations are people, then lets introduce a fiscal death penalty.
