Be kind, help others. That is my political platform.
Coal is my go to example of that.
We know coal is bad on every level. It hurts the environment to mine it, it hurts the people who mine it.
It hurts more when we burn it.
But we have to think of the poor miners.
Instead of helping them we condemn the back to the mines.
Because they beg us to.

The systematic destruction of every layer of early detection and protection against basically anything is basically complete.
Corporations will do what they do and if that kills a few % of the population, that is just a cost of doing business.

The US has been the biggest bully on the international stage for 80 years.
The propaganda engine has been full tilt.
Generation on generation raised on American Excellence.
These are hard points to change in the populace.
Violence is bad is hard pill to swallow for the average person here.

I have no faith in SCOTUS to do the right thing anymore.
We the people no longer have faith in the blind justice of the system.
The finger on the scale has pushed the entire justice department and SCOTUS over.
These things never end well.

I was sure I would watch the world slowly sink into a Cyberpunk hellscape.
But I should have remembered the source, Cyberpunk dystopias are a rapid process hallmarked with violence and soul crushing despair.
The band is not even warmed up yet to this shit show.

Then why did she spend the spring and summer on tour with Bernie?
One does not run around the nation if your goal is Senator.
They were testing her popularity and working the platform.
Personally I can see no other goal from all of that but POTUS.

GOP has no shame, calling them out has done nothing but make them double down.
We have to find a better way, I have no idea what but we have to find it.

The difference between the two who have and AOC is a vast ocean of differences.

If you step back and look at what her and Bernie have been up to.
I am putting my money on Madam President.
Bernie knows how to grass roots a movement, and their nationwide tour was a temp test for her.
And it was really fucking well.

What bothers me about this and all the other idiotic line items they are pulling is that it is not that they are taking action, but in ways that make it extremely difficult to restore the service later.
Example is they will pull its approval, meaning it will have to do the whole process again

It is all distractions from, well basically everything they should be doing but aren't.
They are throwing red meat to the base to keep them off the actual issues.
Mainly how badly they are screwing over their own voters and states.

As we have spoken about. Right now while the Gov is closed and with a looming war, the country is ripe for a military coup.
Moving loyalist service members, the White Nationalists, the FBI warned us about into key positions.
They will make all Dems Terrorists and then lock the doors.

The consistency with their training was the most honest thing they ever said.
Lack of awareness of a situation and extreme use of force.
They do tell us who we are and we should pay attention.

Interesting that the opposition leader got the peace prize, not Trump's buddy who needs a 20billion bailout to appease his rich investors.
Or that we are sending 20b to our largest competition as our tariffs pushed China to buy soybeans from them, cutting the US off
World is completely upside down

We have laws that back that Judge, we all understand them.
ICE does not have those limits.
ICE has an insane budget, and the US is the largest arms dealer in the world.
How long before ICE stops cosplaying as a law enforcement agency and becomes a Paramilitary group that only answers to the POTUS?

Yes the Nations are being more active in the face of modern problems.
I grew up with Lakota Sioux, and the respect I have for the tribes comes from my own interactions with them.
They dont fit into the political landscape and they know it.
But they also have power in their status.
October 8, 2025 at 6:34 PM
Do you understand how we break the stigma of the Tribes and end centuries of oppression?
One of those things is normalizing the idea of celebrating Tribal heritage.
Typically by individuals in popular culture.

He killed the CA Medicare for All, he platformed multiple right-wing people without challenging them or push back.
He is just more of the liberal BS that has failed us for 40 years.
Newsom is like the Lincoln Project, useful tools against MAGA. But they are not our friends.

Yep context is important to understand why people do things.
Most days it feels like a curse to understand things.
And I dont mind people of faith, I get real angry when that is used like a tool. Cult abuse 101 I guess.

What is worse is they drive that policy because they think it will bring about the End of Days.
Evangelicals are a fucking death cult.
They want Israel to control all of that land because their doctrine says that will trigger the end.

Look at Gaza or the warzone of Ukraine and tell me again how we are worse.
Yeah western waste is a huge problem, our endless wars are worse.
But we treat our waste and attempt to process our garbage.
That is more than people Gaza can do.
Oh and we can save actual lives right now.
