Words to remember as we come to the end of 2024:
“The spear in the Other's heart is the spear in your own: You are they.
There is no other wisdom, and no other hope for us but that we grow wise.”

There has literally never been a universal basic income trial program that didn't deliver real and measurable results above and beyond any other form of social welfare, and every time another concludes with the same findings the powers that be go "interesting! Anyway," and pretend it wouldn't work.

Putting a Democrat with a Nazi tattoo in the Senate normalizes Naziism in our federal politics for a long ass time.
All these recent stories about secret Nazi group chats? Anytime that happens going forward will be met with "But Platner."
It's not a purity test. Think through the consequences.

I’m skeptical that a court can or will do this, but i think it has to be tried, because the GOP has descended to full lawlessness, and we don’t have any kind of government if the majority party can just refuse to recognize others.

Literally none of these people are like "you know what, I understand why voters would be wary, and I'm gonna go do some public service to prove my bona fides."
And that's how you know they care about the power, not the service.

The government cannot be trusted to report accurate statistics anymore.
They're manipulating the data to make you think they've fixed our problems.
But they haven't.
We still can't afford rent, groceries, healthcare bills, student loans, car payments, you name it.
The economy is broken. It's rigged for the rich—and they're the ones who rigged it.

To be clear: deportations to increase cultural homogeneity is the text book definition of ethnic cleansing. Demands that come even close to this are so far outside any democratic norm and the rule of law. What has happened to a country when this is not condemned in the strongest possible terms?

Where we "went wrong" is that billionaires spent unimaginably large sums to attack us repeatedly and major media outlets have spent a decade piling on.
