How did we let our politicians turn us into a society that resents public services, support, and kindness?
How did we let them convince us that human decency and empathy are wrong?
We really need to sort ourselves out before we kill ourselves through selfishness.

Folks have been telling me they’ve noticed I’ve gotten “a lot more political” on social media this year.
Of course I have.
The circumstances have gotten nightmarishly worse, and the consequences of inaction and staying silent infinitely more obvious.
Everyone needs to get “a lot more political.”

There are some days (weeks? years?) you just don't have it. Just keep going. Even by random chance, something good will happen.

Extremely disappointing that NH music hall cancels annual fundraiser for NH Women's Foundation due to it showing a film on abortion rights. Canceling 6 days prior is not being "neutral", it's a political statement.

Canceling an event for a documentary about abortion is not neutral. It is a political decision that is clearly anti-abortion.

This is an absolutely extraordinary, revelatory quote. Why is the NBC affiliate in Portland the only place reporting it? www.kgw.com/article/news...
Trump seems to back off Portland military plan: 'Am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening?'
President Trump had said he will send troops to Portland to protect U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities, which he said were "under attack."

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens.
Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.
