I am tired of:
- People hating on 3rd party & non-voters
- People hating on Trump voters
- People implying that any marginalized group is somehow to blame for the behavior of billionaires
- People complaining that group X is “not doing enough”
Stop scapegoating and just do your work with kindness.

I have zero respect for people who use the term "illegal alien."
No. Human. Being. Is. ILLEGAL.
It doesn't even make sense. Could a person have committed crimes? Sure. That doesn't give you the right to erase their personhood entirely and just call them "illegal."
Immoral behavior.

69M married women could lose their voting rights if the SAVE Act is passed. Transgender individuals too.
Why? Absent a valid passport, you must present a birth certificate *with the same name as your registration* to be registered.
This is insane!

Looking at the most popular podcast episodes through my preferred podcast app is so depressing. If these are truly the things people care about, and these are truly the voices people want to hear - I just dunno man.

If there has been any failure in DEI it’s that there were still too many incompetent white dudes getting jobs just because they were white dudes or knew another white dude in power.
DEI didn’t go far enough by half. That was the real problem.

There needs to be a full academic boycott of Columbia. It's an institution not worth saving. No one should speak there, go there, or collaborate with academics there. Let it crumble into irrelevance.

Look. Things are very bad, there’s no question.
But collapsing into despair, constant dooming and doomscrolling, what do you think that accomplishes? Nothing.
Process what you’re experiencing through therapy, self care, being in community, etc… and then get back to work.
Nothing is inevitable.

It’s felt good to finally get away from Amazon. There are some things I can’t avoid like their AWS (Amazon Web Services) that undergird so much of the Internet, but beyond that we’re done.
Between home and business, it’s actually quite a lot of money now going elsewhere.
Small steps of resistance.

Trump can call me names but the truth remains. He is an unhinged wanna be dictator who is angry that I beat him in court and won't cower in fear. Now he is weaponizing the federal government against his political opponents.

I will not bow or scrape.

In 2017, Trump gave a $2 trillion tax cut mostly sucked up by billionaires and big corporations.
But it was so expensive, Republicans set many of their tax cuts to end after 2025.
Now, Republicans want to steal from working people to pay for more tax cuts for billionaires.

Trump keeps spreading lies about Social Security.
What he isn't telling you is that he's actively trying to dismantle it — firing thousands of SSA employees and shuttering regional offices.
Why? To pave the way for privatization so Wall Street can gamble with our retirement.
