A new type of meme we're sharing to spread messages of hope and kindness. :) That's my brother Leonard. He was a public school teacher for nearly 30 years. And he taught me what I know about kindness.

We find kind, caring, good people everywhere we go. We really do. Anyway, I love you all! ♥️

There's a time for collegiality and political norms, it's not when there's a full-blown authoritarian takeover of our government and goons invading cities from blackhawk helicopters and zip-tying naked kids or shooting a protester after ramming her car.

Oh my mistake. No I think she didn't die. I will delete the post. I cant edit it.

I want my US congressional reps and Senators to SCREAM IN THE F'ING FACES OF MIKE JOHNSON AND THE OTHER MAGA DEATH CULT SCUMBAGS!

YOU'RE KILLING AMERICANS!
YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS SHIT!

I don't give a flying fuck if anyone thinks that's not good politics or how government works. Sorry, not.

We also need to put in our Constitution immediate repercussions for violating the Constitution and also for violating your oath to the Constitution. It should become impossible to ignore it and our laws and get away with it. No matter your position.

I find I become more self-aware when:
1) I'm with another person and look into their eyes and really listen to them.
2) I am connecting to nature, the sky above me, touching a tree, looking at the ocean, or being barefoot on the grass.
3) Having a belly-laugh about some silly thing.

wow that's a big family!

I have had similar thoughts recently too. Mostly, I appreciate how hard my parents worked to raise us four kids.

that's an interesting perspective. thanks.

Not sure what it is, but I really like the smell of my morning toast and coffee. I think it brings back a childhood memory of my parents enjoying their morning toast and coffee.

I could have done without their cigarette smoke tho. :)

I find it interesting that people think it's more possible for AI to become self-aware than it is for humanity to do so. #Singularity

Corporations have been vehicles of financial extraction and oppression of the working class for decades. They're the way the wealthy take our wealth for themselves.

We must change corporate governance if we are to protect democracy and human decency.

The very existence of corporations with no regard to the public and national good is an anathema to a free people; really, it's a cancer.

News that is not corrupted by shareholder profit-seeking concerns is an essential component of democracy. Without this, autocracy is all but inevitable.

The soft complicity of the corporate press in the U.S. is as much of a wake-up call as the Trump takeover itself. The news media must be walled off financially from profit-seeking. It must be a non-profit B Corp type of thing, for the public & common good. We need to put this into our Constitution!

we will need something akin to the Nuremberg tribunals after WWII in Germany. We will.

Any Dem politicians who tries to say something "like we must look forward not back so we can heal" should be ignored and replaced.
joesegal.bsky.social
great. please dm me and we'll exchange emails. have a good day.
joesegal.bsky.social
ah yes good point.

thanks. have a good day Mark.

Can you sue on his behalf, for him?

Who remembers Mic Checks?

I think its a great tactic. It disrupts the status quo of the rich and powerful to get the voice of the people heard. It gets viral shares and media views. It helps others know they are not alone. Let's bring it back!
