Raised where the border is a bridge. I still believe in bridges, between nations, between people. I believe in the quiet power of intelligence, in science, equal rights, equity, and dignity even under fire. Ignorance burns hot, but intelligence burns long.

My first 1000 posts can be summed like this:
tRump is stupid, his presidency is illegitimate so he’s a dictator. Hate and fear and perpetual victimhood are not sustainable. Critical thinking and sound logic is always required. It’s the guns. Release the Epstein files. And never give up hope.

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.
If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.
It’s that simple.

I cut off ties with my MAGA father and brother once I realized there is absolutely no line that tRump and his cruel administration can cross that would ever make either of them rethink their support. Blind cult followers are on a path that I am unequipped to provide navigational guidance through.

To have it reported that survivors of the first strike were in the water and then targeted a second time takes an extrajudicial killing from the war crimes it already is to a place of cruelty and evil that crosses the line from alleged enforcement into morally and legally indefensible territory.
Van Hollen: "It's either murder from the first strike if their whole theory is wrong, and I think the weight of the legal opinion is they've concocted this ridiculous legal theory. But even if you accept it, then it is a war crime. I do believe the secretary of defense should be held accountable"

Remember in September when tRump went silent and rumors of his death were circulating? That silence was bliss and the speculation was fun. That’s something I’m thankful for this year.

Impeach, convict, remove.
And if our current leaders won’t do it, they need to step aside for people who will.

So what are ‘your’ truths, Bluesky?
You are harder to fool with political lies, sure.
But scroll long enough and you’ll see we’re still human; just as prone to fallacies, shortcuts, and comforting nonsense as anyone else.

The truth demands responsibility.
Lies demand nothing.
The truth asks you to:
• change behavior
• reconsider beliefs
• admit mistakes
• challenge your tribe
Lies ask you to:
• feel angry
• blame someone else
• do nothing
Guess which one sells better.
Guess which one pays better.

The truth is boring.
Lies are exciting.
Truth says:
“This problem is complex.”
“It will take years.”
“We need cooperation.”
“There are trade-offs.”
Lies say:
“There’s one villain.”
“One solution.”
“I alone can fix it.”
“No sacrifices required.”
Humans love a simple story, even if it’s fake.

The truth is slow.
Lies are fast.
Truth takes:
• evidence
• context
• nuance
• verification
• time
Lies take:
• confidence
• emotion
• repetition
In an attention economy, speed beats accuracy every time.

In America, the most reliable way to make money? It isn’t competence, it’s confidence.
And the quickest shortcut to confidence? It isn’t education, it’s lying.
It’s politics, health, media, entertainment, business, tech, finance, religion, advertising.
You lie boldly → Someone writes you a check.

The President of the United States saying “quiet piggy” to a journalist asking a question would be a massive shock heard around the world.
A dictator who overthrew the US government saying it is on brand and not shocking at all.
The only shocking part is that so many have accepted dictatorship.

We still ostensibly have a Congress that can impeach and remove him and set an example that should have been set twice already.
Death penalty for telling service members to refuse “unlawful” orders?
What do we need to do to regain sanity?
Or are we just all piggies that need to remain quiet?

The transparency we want regarding the Epstein files is due to no apparent ongoing investigations or trials. We simply want those who enabled and engaged in this enterprise from hell to face the consequences and for the victims to have justice. It’s never been about only releasing the files.

Not sure what happiness is anymore. I can’t lift my son to transfer him because he’s getting too heavy. I was doing it anyway and my body revolted big time. Now I’m using the Hoyer lift but it makes me feel bad that I can no longer just grab and lift my son to “rescue” him when he needs me. 🥺

Is anyone else exhausted?
Media, whether sane washing him or sensationalizing video titles about his imminent demise can f$(k off.
Until he is either in the ground as the world’s largest gender neutral toilet or in a jail cell with big beautiful Bill, I don’t want to hear anything more about him.

Nothing he says is ever remotely intelligent or informative. Most of the time it’s incomprehensible. I can’t begin to describe how bad it feels to live in a world where so many think he’s qualified to lead.
