Digest this and let it sink in - if not for yourself but, if you do have children, for your children - your grandchildren.
The richest country the world has ever known has allowed unfettered capitalism to become a cancer among its inhabitants.

Habitat for Humanity.

For fucks sake.
The FBI is moving to criminalize groups like Habitat for Humanity for receiving grants from the Environmental Protection Agency under the Biden administration.

FBI ordered Citibank to freeze the group bank's accounts.

#Democrats in power need to wake up. It's not a messaging problem. It's their failure to do anything for the poor & middle-class when the richest & corporations are opposed.

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.

If the same psychology types are selling/buying all of

a) anti-vax

b) Trump tariffs

c) Russian propaganda on Ukraine

and

d) cryptocurrency

... that adds up to a warning surely that the sellers are charlatans and the buyers are fools?

Sadly true. History is quite clear.
Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO
