No more old white men in charge. They just keep fucking things up. We’re way past due for a change.

My friend sent this AI version of me and I’m not sure if I should be flattered or not. At least I have hair.

Starbucks baristas are on strike and the No Kings Alliance stands with them. Don’t shop at Starbucks while workers fight for fair pay, better staffing, and an end to union-busting. Power belongs to the people who make this country run: nocontractnocoffee.org/#pledge #NoContractNoCoffee #NoKings

When Bovino and his gangsters produce a single spent slug or shell casing recovered at the alleged scene with third-party witnesses to said recovery, I'll withhold an initial judgment that this is utter fabricated horseshit.
Ogden and 26th Street at 11:30 a.m. today. Federal authorities claimed someone shot at their agents in Little Village this morning. They spent the next several hours circling the neighborhood, deploying chemical crowd controls and arresting people.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.
The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

I can’t post negative shit all the time. Sometimes you find something terrific and you want to share. See previous post for an example.

Watched Guillermo DelToro’s Frankenstein last night. Excellent film. Inspired performances and direction. Kudos to the cast and crew. Highly recommend.

When people say women ruined the workplace, you’ll notice they don’t call for women to exit the workforce. Instead, they want our labor to be unpaid or severely underpaid and for us to have zero agency or autonomy at work. They want us to be subservient; they want us to be slaves.

Jimmy Carter's advice to a young person.
My nephew Matthew shared this letter with me yesterday. Five years ago, he wrote to all the living presidents and asked for advice on how to participate in public service. Only Jimmy Carter responded. A precis on how to live a life of service.

Not every idea is worth airing. Not every point of view is worth hearing. Not everything that "a lot of people believe" should be credentialed by homepage space. Would the NYT editorial board run "Did Homosexuals Ruin Culture?" or "Did Black People Get Too Big for Their Britches?" I guess we'll see.

New Mexico is now officially the first state to offer free child care to all residents.
Under the program all families, regardless of income, can get their child care fees covered.
Proponents say the program will help the economy, improve education, and boost child welfare.

I think a thing we'll learn tonight is that people fucking hate what is going on and they will straight ticket vote against anyone involved in starving people while pillaging the country and kidnapping their neighbors. I don't think it matters at all who that person is.
