Dr. MLK Jr. said, 'The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.' In these chaotic times, I take heart in this immutable truth. To extend our vision beyond the corrupt & inhumane, we must collectively calibrate our moral compass toward Truth.

The wealthy are always so GD worried some poor people are gonna commit some small time fraud. Meanwhile, big corporations are committing HUGE afraid. Just look at defense contractors.
Why? Because we have all been taught to see the wealthy as virtuous and to see the poor as lazy and unworthy.

No one anywhere urged corporate media to start ignoring experts. No one urged corporate media to allow their paying customers to drive coverage rather than journalistic ethics. CBS News has deliberately misdiagnosed an ailment so that it can prescribe poison for itself and America as a salve.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.
The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

People lining up to celebrate MTG or other GOP castoffs despite the damage they’ve done to vulnerable groups and democracy just shows how much they desperately only want their lives to remain the same and are more than fine sacrificing anyone and everything to get there.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

The reasons some immigrants voted for the deportation of other immigrants is because they believed themselves to be better, and more valuable human beings than those OTHER immigrants.

This was me in August 2018, running for Congress.
I was right back then, and I am still right.
Maybe the GOP jacking up health care premiums to astronomical numbers will open people’s eyes.
Medicare for all is the only rational and morally decent health care policy.

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison.
So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

Thank you, Kimmy for taking it upon yourself to create a space for first responders and people in the community to deal with their own personal mental health challenges. A lot of people talk about it, but you actually took action. Thank you for inviting me to the farm and thank you for your support.
