The philosophers have always known.

And the rulers have always sought to undermine the philosophers, mocking their insight and questioning their expertise. The rulers believe The Profit will only come if the people remain in the cave. 💸

Al Gore didn’t hold back: The Trump admin is “attacking the heart of truth,” twisting facts like the Nazis did in the 1930s. From climate denial to rewriting the Ukraine war, it’s all about power—not reality.
Gore warned the U.S. is under siege—and every former leader should speak out like he did.

when I say I get my news from social media, I don’t mean clicking on articles shared by friends. I mean that by consuming hundreds of memes a day, I can tell when something happened that I wasn’t aware of and should probably look up.

💯 Baristas are highly skilled workers!

Stand with @sbworkersunited.org when they strike and don’t cross that picket line! 👊🏻☕️

it's not that i ever doubted that being a barista was a skilled position, but my year-long effort to try to produce a half-decent latte at home has convinced me that a good barista is easily more skilled than virtually every c-suite executive on the planet

democrat approval ratings are plummeting.

republican approval ratings are tanking.

what could we possibly do instead…? 🤔

ok, I may be stoned, but the simple fact that you can have an ear worm song stuck in your head should be enough proof that you simply do not have as much control over your own mind and body as you’d like to think you do.

Agreed - I’d rather try and fail, than roll over and fail!

Keep calling and emailing your lawmakers. ☎️ 💻

’m always thinking about how something bad could suddenly happen. Does that make me more prepared for any of these fabricated catastrophes? Nope. Just constantly on the edge of being startled and unprepared.

Attending the #EssexVT Selectboard special meeting in person this evening. There is a concern that the Selectboard is considering a settlement with #Amazon Scannell Properties regarding the DRB denial of that application.

I will live post regarding this topic when the agenda item comes up. 🧵👇🏻

BREAKING: The Supreme Court denied an attempt to challenge Obergefell v. Hodges, the case affirming marriage equality nationwide.

Our freedom to marry remains the law of the land.

It always feels like contempt for the vegetarian patron. “You’ll get whatever we have left today, and you’ll eat it because it’s the only veg dish on the menu.” 👨🏻‍🍳
Stop calling it a vegetable medley tell us what’s in there

if democrats want to retain any amount of integrity they need to immediately vote out chuck schumer as party minority leader
November 10, 2025 at 2:50 AM
@welch.senate.gov & @sanders.senate.gov I call upon you both to demand that Chuck Schumer step down immediately.

80% of Democratic voters want a new leader in the Senate.

Does that matter at all to Democratic senators?
November 10, 2025 at 6:06 AM
This feels like a retaliation by establishment Dems against the Democratic voters who turned out in the millions earlier in the week to elect more Dems into office. 🫠

Remember when the US Government handed over tax payer data to Elon Musk and his good squad for no reason? Why aren’t we talking about that more??

4 Years. 4️⃣ Today marks four years since I stopped drinking alcohol.

I knew today was my Dry Anniversary, but I couldn’t remember exactly how long it had been - I had to look it up. And I take that as a good sign. 🧵👇🏻
