Interested in politics, mental health, science, tech and philosophy too. Love nature and music. Perennialist Christian. Democratic eco-socialist who supports sortition with preference voting. Bit on the spectrum.
The whole leadership of the party needs to be overthrown and replaced. The stakes are too high for them to be doing this BS now. They are not fit to lead. They're mentally stuck in the 90's, and addicted to corporate donor money. That approach won't work anymore. No more appeasing these maniacs.

We are nothing but beasts of burden to these people. They want to bring back feudalism but instead of lords and kings, the corporations will be in charge.
In politics clarity is its own opportunity. The storm of the 2024 election has created great clarity. The richest man in the world, Elon Musk, and 3rd richest man in the world, Jeff Bezos, are currently asking a group of Trump judges to end the right to organize & join a union in the United States.

What do people get out of that? So strange.

Unfortunately most people have no idea just how evil it can get until it happens to them.

American voters overwhelmingly support social democratic policies when party labels are absent. Both parties reject them due to wealthy donors' influence. To defeat right-wing populism, the Democratic Party must again become the working-class party. If not, they should be replaced by a new party.

I guess that's true, but it wasn't enough. Why? It didn't match their lived experience, and there was no emotional narrative attached. Compare the messaging. Dems appeal to reason with facts and figures. Reps appeal to emotion with dramatic narratives. Dems need to use emotional messaging as well.

Giving them more convincing explanations for their suffering is key to stopping that.

This kind of liberal oversimplifies issues as good vs. evil, like reactionaries who think similarly, dehumanizing opponents. Many MAGA voters aren't evil, but brainwashed and confused. Leftists should talk with them to help deprogram them. I live in a red area and itโ€™s very possible to do so.

Project 2025 will bring austerity to America's most vulnerable citizens. Children, disabled people, the elderly and low-income Americans will all be severely affected if republicans are allowed to do this. #disability #poverty #mentalhealth

It doesn't matter. Russia has so many of these weapons that even if 90% failed, the rest would be enough to end advanced civilization. People spreading this narrative are dangerous fools.

Fuck it's hard to work with this character limit. Never posted on twitter or other character limited platforms before.

The idea that humans are the pinnacle of evolution, that we are "special" and above nature will lead to our end. The same goes for the idea that some humans are above others and should live in extreme poverty while others own more than entire countries.

This endangered animal died after crossing an artificial boundary created by humans. A book called "Killing Hope" was written about human beings who were killed to maintain other artificial boundaries, like class and national borders. These boundaries will soon make humans an endangered species too.
Terrible news. USFWS and AZGFD announced today that Mexican gray wolf Hope, whose presence near Flagstaff excited the nation, was found dead last week. An investigation is underway.

Too much torque and not enough feedback that you are applying it. Most gasoline engines would be screaming if they accelerated like Teslas. EVs should make it very clear to the user how fast they are going. Also, just a guess, but the average Tesla buyer is probably overconfident about their skills.

Ringu, The Blair Witch Project, The VVitch, Midsommer

Event Horizon too, but the goofy ending kind of ruins it
