Everything Trump has done in his first year has had one purpose: to distract you from the Epstein files. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcg-P5RlQo8&list=PLmHDGpDOjacoTxbrY068uPDU6lYhubjg4&index=4

My take on people wearing face masks is very simple:

It's not my face, so I mind my own business.

That's it. That's the whole take.

2025 RECAP: Trump & Republicans moved heaven and earth to make tax breaks for billionaires permanent by cutting Medicaid, SNAP & other programs families rely on. 

Their pro-billionaire agenda has exploded the national debt by trillions while betraying working families.

I mask in public, but have gotten COVID twice. Someone I live with works in healthcare and masks at work, but isn't allowed to ask patients to mask even when they are showing signs of illness.

This. I actually met Jon Stewart at The White House while I was an intern. It is so disappointing to see this. I proudly mask whenever I leave my house

What a difference twenty years makes. In 2006, the digital age was about YOU. In 2025, it’s about Big Tech billionaires. In the digital age, AI must stand for All Included—and I’ll keep fighting to make sure it does.

On twitter, i had blocked hundreds of thousands of accounts. My experience was great. Every time I ran into a tweet from a nazi, I would just use a chain block tool to block that account and every account that followed it.

There are billions of people-- you don't have to worry about over-blocking.

The White House East Wing didn’t fall—it got vibed out of existence. Trump’s building a ballroom fit for his ego, bulldozing history for a disco ball. In this week’s Elephant in the Room, Rick drags the Trump ballroom demolition 2025 mess:

Everyone seems outraged that Burlingame would be the city where ice agents are supposedly being housed by the Crown Plaza. Burlingame is one of the most affluent cities of old money and new money in the Bay Area. Let’s not forget that in 2016 they hosted the GOP California convention.

The agencies responsible for protecting you in extreme weather events were cut under Trump. In times of crisis, Trump will gladly leave you and your family at risk.

Here is an important life skill people need to relearn:

How to board and unboard trains. You enter on the right side. You unboard also on the right side. Meaning you enter on the right people exit on your left. Meaning there is never a reason to cause a pause or get in the way.

Let’s clear something up: the giant cuts to Medicaid in Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill will affect EVERYONE, not just people on Medicaid.

Hospitals and nursing homes will be forced to close—and it doesn't matter what kind of insurance you have if there is nowhere to go for care.

Someone recently said. “You have great legs.” I responded “Ya think? I walk and take transit everywhere. Of course I have great legs.” TLDR walking can help prevent or alleviate chronic low back pain later in life.

San Francisco magic is real. Yesterday I walked into Dog eared Books to ask if they had The Testaments from @margaretatwood.bsky.social. They had just bought a signed copy! I could not believe my luck!
