I’m sorry this whole “never criticize Dems cuz party unity” is such bullshit. Schumer is a spineless cretin. Him and Jeffries are the reason why there’s been zero consistent messaging, zero vision. They’re sending strongly worded letters to Trump who can barely read his own teleprompter…

Had a great Halloween this year. Took my nieces around and made some cool pumpkins. Carving pumpkins come from the Irish who upon finding pumpkins in the new world found them much easier to carve than potatoes.

David Graeber’s books Debt: The First 5,000 Years and The Dawn of Everything really encapsulates how we got to the rich bailing each other out through governments.

Rugged individualism for the poor, communism for the rich. It used to be the other way around.

Chrysanthemums can be made perennials in zones like 6a. Just heap and bunch of straw or leaves over the dead mum to insulate from cold. They’ll come up next year and be massive.

Billionaires are the tyrannical kings of our time. It’s time we treat them as such.

The cheats won. If you get scammed it’s your fault you owe the money. If you take out a loan and can’t pay it back they’ll hunt you down.

No sympathy for creditors. You took the risk. Actually assume it losers.

It is incredibly important that we take the path that Mamdani has laid out. There is no path forward to defeat these fascists with Clinton third way bullshit.

One of the big issues with ai is energy consumption. This could be the linchpin that finally forces the gov to make our grid more efficient against the wishes of energy producers.

It is crazy! We’re paying higher electricity bills because the people who own the power stations want one more yacht.

One of the things Biden could’ve done would’ve been to organize an embargo against Israel to stop the genocide. That alone would’ve done a lot for him or anyone running on the Dem ticket. Lessons learned #politics

A perennial flower the Blue wood aster and an eastern bumblebee. They say this plant is only supposed to grow to 4 feet. It was 7 feet tall before it bowed under the weight of its bloom.

Dem leadership should be obstructionist like republicans were under Obama. Any working with republicans is helping fascism.

Get mad at the only party that pretends, at least, to care about minority and disadvantaged groups. They’re failing to meet the moment with feckless Schumer and Jeffries.

The time for flowers comes to a close a new flower must bloom. We must come together under an umbrella of goals that ensure everyone has healthcare, a home, food, water, and thriving, not just getting by.

How’s it possible? We tax the rich right after we beat the fascists in 1945. So we must again
