The opposite of woke is willful ignorance. Gen X, mostly TTRPGs and politics. Abolish the 2nd. BLM. Sex work is work. TERFs are trash. Fetuses aren’t people. Fascism is bad, actually. Leguminati. He/him.

What is your favorite "Christian" Christmas song and what is your favorite "Secular" Christmas song?
I will probably always adore "O Come All Ye Faithful" and "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" for Christian.
And "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" for secular.

EVERY house we looked at in altadena had a high fire risk, so we looked and bought in Pasadena even though there was less inventory. EVERY house i looked at in Altadena burned in Eaton, four weeks after we closed. Eaton missed our house by five blocks.
the risk rating worked. shame it’s gone.

Lol, Zillow tried to rate the climate risks facing individual properties. The real estate industry *hated* it, precisely because it worked -- it made selling risky properties more difficult. So they rebelled & Zillow caved.

Y'know, it IS kind of weird that the most common ads I hear on my podcasts (other than other podcasts) are Better Help or "social casino" apps.
I don't even hear the pre-prepared food ads. Like we've gone beyond "you don't have time to cook," and we're into "you don't have money or mental health."

I have no reason to think this will change his mind, either.
A reasonable person would see this and say, “get rid of the domestic terrorists!”
Trump might just say, “get rid of the Afghans!”

With DC shooter now identified as an Afghan national not the antifa secret agent White House hoped for a good time to remember the Trump admin has gutted domestic anti-terrorism capacity and reassigned many to finding grandmothers to arrest at immigration hearings.

I’m in touch with a medical team in Gaza who described the situation, and I quote, like so: “this ceasefire is less of a ceasefire than the last ceasefire”
Anyone remember that cease fire?

If the plan was to deliberately destroy both education and healthcare in this country, I can't imagine what they'd be doing differently.
Nursing has been excluded as a “professional degree” by the Trump administration as the Department of Education prepares to make massive cuts to providing students loans. Also excluded are NP’s, PA’s, PT’s. This comes when there as an extreme nursing shortage and $20K sign on bonuses for nurses. 😡

Dipshit is smashing out a car window with his gun, barrel first. Just rogue, cowboy stiff.
There were two US citizens in the car. They were apprehended and detained for “obstructing” ICE by honking their horn to let people know ICE was in the neighborhood.

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.
They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.
Don't fall for it.

I have to think these are our only choices.
Either way, we all knew the fix was in when Trump suddenly flipped on releasing them.

So what's the consensus? Does Bondi refuse to release the files because of her new "investigation", or does she release the files highly redacted?

Israel broke the ceasefire because Hamas didn’t return all of the hostages they demanded, and Hamas didn’t return them because they’re buried under the rubble of buildings Israel flattened.
This atrocity is, to Trump, “getting very close to being perfected.”
That man is a fucking demon.

I’m calling it now: when El Cheeto Bandito dies, Republicans are going to scramble to suppress his autopsy, because it’s going to reveal some serious Habsburg-type stuff. Stuff his own people know all about right now, even as they tell us he’s the healthiest, strongest president ever.

“Blue no matter who” doesn’t mean we’re not allowed to criticize Democrats. It means that in the general election—NOT the primaries, the general—you vote for the Democrat, because they’re running against a fascist.
Want to vote against the Dem for whatever reason? The primary is the time for that.
