One day these greedy corporate beasts will paint themselves into a corner, and it will be time to take out the trash and remodel the office.

Meanwhile, tell Gavin Newsome that, NO we don’t want Manchins in the Democratic party. We don’t want MAGA in California. We want to uproot these traitors!

I think a significant portion, if not all, of the people on the American Left know that they would pay more taxes under a Bernie Sanders, & they would be glad to be supporting people.

Why make gross generalizations? Is it not unfair to say most Palestinians support terrorism & genocide?

I advocate community farm initiatives, public/private partnerships, co-ops. I don’t support hand-outs to the folks, who were told over and over again, what their risks would be under Trump, and they voted for this shit anyway.

Community farms support local community.

I have great respect for our Black activists, dating back to my 4th grade discovery of one of my beloved heroes, Harriett Tubman. She was most definitely a fighter.

But, we also have the wisdom of Gandhi, & he was all about
Peaceful protest
Boycotts
Exposing cruelty, inhumanity, hypocrisy.

I suggested no such thing. You misunderstood me.

I was referring to my own (tongue-in-cheek) personal plan to retreat from tech.

No insult of ill intent towards you, whatsoever.

Cheers

CIRCUS OF FUCKERY.

F-DJT, that effing fool’s gold gilded cooch, & his three-ring wet dream of show trials, concentration camps, & public executions!

Epstein List.

31% ain’t no mandate for this shit show.

Right-wing extremists commit 76% of domestic political violence deaths.

RESIST! RESIST!

Any quotable quote gems to share?

I have a stack of books on political history, resisting fascism, tyranny, world wars, etc. But, the daily news cycle is such a consuming fuckery circus, I was overjoyed to receive the gift of Diane Ackerman’s, “Cultivating Delight, a Natural History of My Garden!”
