Amazing. Be sure to read the whole thread.
Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.

Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

Believe what you see and hear. Do not let them try to tell you "It didn't happen like that" or "That's not what they meant by that". Believe what you see with your own eyes and hear with your own ears.

China has banned exports to the US of critical minerals, including gallium, germanium, & antimony, essential for semiconductors and military technologies. This move, a response to US chip sanctions, could disrupt American tech and defense sectors.

Trump is on his way to creating a government of billionaires, by billionaires, for billionaires.
BREAKING: Trump's wealthy cabinet nominees and transition officials are worth a combined $313 BILLION.

That's 616x higher than the mean wealth of the typical American household.

This is how you build a system that only works for the wealthy and their corporations.

I REALLY need to practice this
I want to encourage more people to take a beat. Take a beat when you have those big activated feelings. Responding in the moment comes from a sense of urgency, a rush to be "right". It also has your response coming from primary emotions, which are often shields from your secondary emotions.

The paradox of tolerance is a philosophical concept suggesting that if a society extends tolerance to those who are intolerant, it risks enabling the eventual dominance of intolerance, thereby undermining the very principle of tolerance.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?

100%? 500%?

Try 1,085%

Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

It’s really important to share what people are doing to actually resist fascism.

Compare these Black men to the people on here who are bleating about being “committed to fighting for democracy” but only if you follow them back by Christmas.
Strikingly, the only group that responded en mass and IMMEDIATELY to the neo-Nazi march this weekend in Columbus was a group of black men.

Everyone else? Oh, they put out statements. Black men linked arms and marched the NEXT day.

And this is why I say “Godspeed” to everyone who ain’t us.

I’m concerned when people say, ‘Trump can’t do that—it’s unconstitutional,’ as if he cares about the law or seeks Congress’ approval. After a lifetime in courtrooms for rule-breaking, it’s alarming that some still believe he’ll play by them. The disconnect makes me deeply uneasy. Just me?
