This could be the picture used to sum up Trumps second Presidency.

I've argued for this in the US but a friend of mine argued against it. "We don't need MORE people ignorant of current events deciding who runs things."
My argument was, maybe they wouldn't stay ignorant if they knew they had to vote. Maybe the parties would work to educate instead of discourage.

The first Australian election with compulsory voting was held, successfully increasing voter turnout.
The participation at Australian elections has never fallen below 90% since the introduction of compulsory voting in 1924, making Australia a fairer and more democratic country.

It's outrageous that Spotify is running ICE ads. I'm moving to another streaming platform that doesn't profit from exploiting artists while recruiting for ICE. #CancelSpotify app.sosha.ai/s/H9EJoCVw
AND they pay artists fractions of a cent. Greedy fascists.

In Virginia, the governor and attorney general races are especially important. In Pennsylvania, remember to vote YES on the retention of the Supreme Court justices on the ballot. In California, vote YES on Proposition 50.

Absolutely beautiful and powerful work. HIGHLY recommend.
And this, for those who want to put a toe in the water with my work, or to add an ebook to their collection. UNDER HEAVEN is much less than a coffee this week in US, at all the usual-suspect ebook retailers.

They will never understand that treating workers with respect and appreciation goes a long way in those same workers putting their all into their jobs. Being cruel and hurtful feeds the empty souls of those in charge.

Dumb, selfish people do stupid things. It's not on liberals to take every stupid thing dumb, selfish people do and somehow make it our fault.
I'm happy to let the "party of personal responsibility" take responsibility for doing stupid things.

I really enjoyed this @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social pod about Covid & MAHA, but one thing it repeatedly revealed is a habit of liberals that drives me crazy. A short 🧵.

He has kept among us in times of peace Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.

GWBush is in the intersection of Incompetent AND criminal, unless we want to blame lying us into war on Cheney. GHWBush could also be in the Criminal circle, given his role in Iran-Contra, in and after Reagan admin.

Some thoughts about the military parade in my hometown of Washington DC today -- specifically, the route. Military parades in DC are quite rare. But when they happen, they have always begun, symbolically and geographically, at the Capitol and moved outward. 1/
