This man was talking so fast on a podcast I thought I’d bumped up the speed by accident. And I’ve been told I’m a fast NY talker. Dude was buzzing!

Also, very soon, we're gonna need to lock arms and reject cryptocurrency.

We haven't collectively begun to organize ourselves without money, but we need to.

They've said they're going to tank the dollar, and we should believe them.

If you are anti-fascist, you should be pro mask. Both for your own security reasons as well as being a good human being who gives a shit about other people.
Here’s the thing about mask bans and medical exemptions.

Even if you believe the police won’t harass folks for masking (which is a position of privilege as they WILL harass marginalized people)… bans embolden anti-maskers & they become more aggressive.

They put vulnerable people in danger:

The Republican-led state House passed a bill Tuesday that would adjust exceptions to the state law governing masks. The bill is awaiting a decision by Gov. Roy Cooper.

I heard Bill Burr and a bunch of well-known actors are on broadway doing Glen Gary Glenn Ross. I haven’t been to NY in 25 years or anywhere since the pandemic and I love a play. So I goog the ticket price. It was $675 a seat.

I am tired of people ignoring that disabled people OF ALL AGES need Medicare & Social Security, not just seniors.

In this fascist regime leaving us out is dangerous. It WILL get us killed faster & with less pushback.

Stop making disabled people afterthoughts— that’s how we got here to begin with.

Elon Musk has fired thousands of USDA workers, which could cause grocery prices to rise and invasive species to spread.

DOGE fired food experts, inspectors, entomologists, and more.

Now food could rot in ports or be riddled with invasive pests.

Columbia is welcoming ICE agents into their campus, with or without warrants, and instructing faculty not to interfere with their operations to arrest, harass, or deport students.

It is clear now that Columbia will take no action to protect students on visas or with green cards.
