It's very demoralizing knowing how many people don't care about anyone but themselves. We somehow forgot that we belong to each other.

My kid has decided that reading nonfiction, especially historical nonfiction is even better whn it's not a school requirement. Life-long-learning without obligation is the best!!!!!

Hopefully the whole Bari Weiss thing and Ezra Klein thing starts waking people up to the fact that corporate media is mostly populated with mediocre people who have made millions and gained unbelievable influence because they threaten nothing and tell wealthy people exactly what they want to hear.

AI is ensuring no one will ever be sure of what's real ever again. Fucking dangerous. This shit should have been heavily regulated before it was ever allowed to roll out on this scale. Imagine not just celebrities and politicians but revenge porn, faked evidence, even bigger conspiracy theories.

I've had my share of loud cats too. lol This one is very special though. He's the least cat-like cat I've ever met. He thinks he's people.

To my fellow service members,
They are just about to use you against Americans. You have 4 choices now. 1) Go AWOL 2) Kill whoever gives you illegal orders 3) Get hung as an Oath Breaker or 4) this...

The difference between Mein Kampf and Project 2025, is that one was written in German.

ICE’s UNHINGED mass raid of the apt complex in Chicago, detaining CITIZENS incl children is UNLAWFUL & UNCONSTITUTIONAL:

•1st, 4th, 5th, 10th, & 14th AM VIOLATIONS

•Immigration and Nationality Act §287(a)(2) (8 U.S.C. §1357)

Civil Rights Act, 42 U.S.C. §1983 / §1985

He's a very sweet boy that literally forgets he can meow for weeks at a time, then will remember and run down the hallway meowing at everything. 🤣🤣🤣

In case you need reminding, state police, sheriffs, etc. are not going to protect people from ICE. They are happy to join in because ACAB. Do not expect cops or the military to save us. We're on our own.

Everything is too expensive and you can be kidnapped off the streets or shot by a bigot at any moment; you can't go to the doctor or get a vaccine or read certain books or learn history or speak a language other than English but hey at least a computer will drink a lake to talk to your kid for you

I can’t begin to tell you how damaging “the world isn’t fair, get used to it” line has been to every child’s psyche growing up and therefore has led to a world that stays unfair. If we teach children to get used to an unfair world, we are destroying the possibility of a better world.

To be fair, you shouldn't tell anyone at all where Anne Frank is hiding. Seriously, don't tell anyone that shit no matter how much you trust them. It's a fucking SECRET.

There's a reason that Fox News is played endlessly on military bases. This has been prepared for for a long time.
