Start w/ the Golden Rule.

Identity traits we're born w/into don't determine character.

Migration = survival adaptation. Anti-migrant = anti-humanity.

Nationalism destroys empathy and turns neighbors into enemies. Equal rights for ALL, everywhere.
Pinned
Every politician and media person — whether conservative, liberal, left, or something else— who has joined in on the scapegoating of immigrants, transgender people, poor people, and other marginalized people-groups has encouraged the growth and strengthening of today's right-wing authoritarianism.
Wherever you allow your gov to do to "non-citizens," it will eventually find a way to do to people in *your* in-groups —including you— once mainstream media and politicians have manufactured the consensus that those groups are *also* "outsiders" who are "harming the nation."
*dang... "whatever," not "wherever" 🤦🏻‍♀️

And to be clear, the six reported injuries were nosebleeds, which is what happens when you have barotrauma.

I’ve been asking since June, if a passenger is handcuffed and the handcuffs are attached to a chain around their waists, can they even reach up to grab their masks? Seems like no.
😲 CONFIRMED: “an Avelo ICE flight declared an emergency when the cabin lost pressure, according to air traffic control transmissions. The plane made a rapid descent and landed safely. Of 88 people on board, six were injured…”

I'm sorry I keep posting this but truly if privatization wins, none of the other current education policy battles will matter, we will all lose.
"Should the school privatization agenda succeed, our education systems would be beyond all recognition—exponentially more stratified, segregated, and sectarianized than they are now, further balkanizing an already bitterly divided nation."

Yes, also problematic that in this country, many of us have to take out huge loans for the education period. Shouldn't be the case.

"There is so much about the draft papers that have caused some who’ve seen it to privately complain that it reads like openly fascist European rantings from the first half of the 20th century."

The president’s new national-security draft document rants against migration and cultural “erasure” – and endorses far-right political parties abroad, sources tell Zeteo.

There have always been psychopaths and sociopaths.

The respected politicians, intellectuals, media, and rich people who push their narratives, normalize their anti-humanity values, and try to convince the rest of us that it's "pragmatic" to compromise w/ them are the ones who empower them. Always.

one of the underlying factors in all the Epstein stuff is that his correspondents - even the ones who likely did not participate in abuse themselves - are completely incapable of imagining his victims as people. he is real to them, the girls aren't.

Pretty textbook domestic abuser dynamics to create a crisis then demand praise for fixing it. Only works if there are also enablers (the media) afraid of the abusive behavior who insist on helping maintain that fiction.
Solving a problem he created and will still claim it as a win
Trump’s new “affordability” push is basically reversing the tariffs he said would never cause un-affordability.

at one point, i watched a cook county sheriff’s officer (who appears to be in charge) point out a priest in the crowd.

he and a couple officers then went into the crowd , dragged him into the street, and arrested him.

situation is still tense as crowd jostles with police to get into the street.

Shows it *again". Conservatism is and has always been about maintaining traditional hierarchies.
The “Epstein Files” saga shows that Republicans were only ever interested in using sexual assault as a pretext to smear political rivals and deprive LGBT people of their constitutional rights www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...
