Nothing was more apparent at Davos than the fact that the rest of the world is committed to moving into the future while the ancient, doddering, out-of-touch, slurring and weak President represented a USA determined to recapture the “glories” of a genocidal white supremacist imperialist past.

Who is shocked by this?? NOT A SINGLE SOLITARY PERSON.

Remember when Donald Trump was gonna make Matt Gaetz Attorney General? Trump surrounds himself with kid diddlers. Birds of a feather and all...
The House Ethics Committee found that Matt Gaetz did all of the horrible things previously claimed—sex trafficking minors, prostitution (including of minors), drugs, drunk driving, obstruction, the works. The Florida Bulldog has secured and published the House report this evening.

The biggest shell game of our lives and recent planetary history is that we can somehow find peace, sufficiency, and balance with the living complex system that is Earth via an algorithm that produces so-called profit for a few by degrading the many and the complexity of that living system.

Most Americans agree we need to get money out of politics. If that takes a constitutional amendment, then that's what we have to do. And if that's going to take years, then it's all the more reason to begin pushing now.

I've read six of the ten books on her list. It's the main reason I was able to get completely out of debt, pay off the house several years early, and retire a good ten years earlier than most people. You don't need nearly as much crap as you think. #BuyNothingRebellion youtu.be/AY2PkuXlbC4?...

I pay tribute to Joanna Macy, who died in July, in the latest issue of permaculturemag.bsky.social. She was one of the most important ecological and spiritual teachers of our times (as well as my former teacher and friend).

The Washington Post-truth.
Democracy died there.
In the last month, Washington Post Editorial Board has:
•Called to RE-invade Afghanistan
•Blamed Hamas as Israel kills 100+ Palestinians since "ceasefire"
•Defended Trump destroying the White House

This is what state media looks like. I guess "Democracy Dies in Darkness" was a mission statement.😐

A new poll shows Americans blame Trump and Republicans over Democrats for the shutdown 53%-37%. (Independents blame Trump by a nearly 3-to-1 margin, 58%-21%.).

People aren’t dumb.
Trump's approval rating on the economy takes hit because of shutdown, inflation, CNBC survey finds
Americans' views on the economy turned more negative in the third quarter with deepening concerns about jobs, inflation and the outlook.

Presented with a proposed public embezzlement by Trump and cronies of nearly a quarter billion dollars, MAGA DOJ answered “all officials at the Department of Justice follow the guidance of career ethics officials.”

Trump let George Santos out of jail just to make it clear that if you're loyal to him, you can get away with anything. This isn't a democracy if one man decides what's a crime and what isn't.

Time for everyone to wake up. This moment is more serious than many want to believe.

"The fact that #COVID infections damage our brains is not debatable. There are hundreds of studies to support that COVID affects the brain, leading to memory, attention, executive function, & mental health issues."
Nobody has Long COVID, but everybody has brain fog, cognitive decline and memory loss. I talk about the overwhelming scientific evidence that COVID damages the brain, and the overwhelming social unwillingness to acknowledge it in my latest:

Instead of moving fast & breaking things, we could move slow and fix things.
