Raised where the border is a bridge. I still believe in bridges, between nations, between people. I believe in the quiet power of intelligence, in science, equal rights, equity, and dignity even under fire. Ignorance burns hot, but intelligence burns long.

My first 1000 posts can be summed like this:
tRump is stupid, his presidency is illegitimate so he’s a dictator. Hate and fear and perpetual victimhood are not sustainable. Critical thinking and sound logic is always required. It’s the guns. Release the Epstein files. And never give up hope.

The President of the United States saying “quiet piggy” to a journalist asking a question would be a massive shock heard around the world.
A dictator who overthrew the US government saying it is on brand and not shocking at all.
The only shocking part is that so many have accepted dictatorship.

We still ostensibly have a Congress that can impeach and remove him and set an example that should have been set twice already.
Death penalty for telling service members to refuse “unlawful” orders?
What do we need to do to regain sanity?
Or are we just all piggies that need to remain quiet?

The transparency we want regarding the Epstein files is due to no apparent ongoing investigations or trials. We simply want those who enabled and engaged in this enterprise from hell to face the consequences and for the victims to have justice. It’s never been about only releasing the files.

Not sure what happiness is anymore. I can’t lift my son to transfer him because he’s getting too heavy. I was doing it anyway and my body revolted big time. Now I’m using the Hoyer lift but it makes me feel bad that I can no longer just grab and lift my son to “rescue” him when he needs me. 🥺

Release the Epstein files and prosecute all of the predators.
Way to go! 🔥👍💯❤️👏

Media, whether sane washing him or sensationalizing video titles about his imminent demise can f$(k off.
Until he is either in the ground as the world’s largest gender neutral toilet or in a jail cell with big beautiful Bill, I don’t want to hear anything more about him.

Nothing he says is ever remotely intelligent or informative. Most of the time it’s incomprehensible. I can’t begin to describe how bad it feels to live in a world where so many think he’s qualified to lead.

The president posts batshit insane, self-contradictory, harmful crap online daily, and the media is incentivized to not cover it like a scandal.
When all this is over we’ve got to restructure media/reporting/journalism entirely.

The media tends to regurgitate Trump’s words as if they were news.
They aren’t news. They’re postures. His words and thoughts add nothing to our understanding of anything. Yet the media reproduces them as if they did.
Memo to the media: Give us the news.

Mamdani said, “We’ll prove there’s no problem too large for government to solve and no concern too small for it to care about.”
Republicans want us to think he meant government control…like communism.
What he meant was competent, compassionate government.
Yeah, truly terrifying stuff. 🤦♂️

11/5/24 in a nutshell:
Imagine your spouse went grocery shopping and came home with literal garbage.
You ask, “WTF?”
They say, “Well, the store hired brown people and I think the cashier was trans, so I just picked through a dumpster instead.”

tRump didn’t look like an edible loaf of bread where closer inspection revealed some mold. The loaf was absolutely covered in it yet most voters chose to eat it anyway rather than the wonderful fresh bread that just happened to be a recipe they were afraid to try. How can we ever trust voters again?

The FBI is saying they have thwarted a ‘potential terrorist attack’ in Michigan.
I’m not saying this is a lie but until facts and verifiable details emerge, this is a statement that could have been believed in the past and we’d await details. But as of right now it carries very little weight.

The President of the United States is so upset about his failed campaign for a Nobel Prize that he's now trying to claim someone else's prize as his own.

It’s time to end partisan politics!
Parties were meant to organize ideas.
Instead they turn:
Neighbors into enemies.
Compromise into weakness.
Elections into sports rivalries.
We need Representatives vs. Problems.
America needs to be a community of millions trying to build a future together.

Gerrymandering breaks democracy at the map stage.
Blind partisan loyalty breaks democracy at the governing stage.
Representation isn’t a red jersey / blue jersey thing.
It’s whether your rep remembers who sent them to Congress…
and who they’re supposed to fight for.
