I'm starting to think the only problem in the world today is people who believe in nothing but satisfying their greed and lust for power.
Great quote from @hcrichardson.bsky.social on YouTube today:
"You don't believe people like them, you watch them."
You can guess who she's referring to.

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC
I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents.
I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

I think San Diego has the right idea in housing for once. The most effective way to provide affordable housing is to dramatically increase the supply. Let's hope they can do it effectively and efficiently.

I cannot emphasize enough how true & real this is.
In almost anywhere on the political spectrum you ID with or major issue, there’s probably a bot/troll operation to encourage your rage and vitriol.
And how/where that rage gets directed, esp understandable rage, is what they are out to influence.

People on this app get really angry every time I point out that social media manipulation is a real phenomenon that we are all stewing in and that’s having real world consequences and I’m sure part of that is engagement farmers who do that manipulation not liking people talking about it

One reason few people can wrap their head around the realization that the United States is in a full-fledged Constitutional crisis – is that Americans, gripped by fear & materialism, cannot imagine surrendering a lifetime’s accumulation of comfort & possessions in an effort to regain their freedom.

It’s not that they don’t know what the constitution says. They know what it says. Just like they knew what it said when they asked Pence to ignore it.
They just don’t care.
They believe it can be rewritten by bending it to their will, if enough of them decide to do it.

Spot on by Bill Gates. I knew he thought this but am glad he finally said it publicly. He has put up with such shitty misinformation from Musk over vaccines too.

As a European I just can't get my head round this.
A family member had a mini health scare a few weeks ago - scans and specialists all arranged in a couple of weeks on the NHS and it cost precisely nothing.
They were OK too btw.
