And that’s what’s happened in this country. People want to hold moral high ground over being able to live and do what needs to be done for true equity. Sometimes you have to break the rules for the greater good. That’s the only way we get out of this mess.

I’m a very principled person but my morals are fluid based upon the context. For example, I think killing an innocent person unprovoked is wrong but I’m not against the act of killing if the situation calls for it. Rigid morals are a sure fire way to become a victim.

A lot of people mistakenly believe that only minorities receive federal aid, but they are about to find out the truth. Many people--of all stripes--are about to go hungry come February 1st. But remember, the MAGAts wanted cruelty; they just didn't think the evil would be inflicted upon them.

It’s crazy how we have to call this low stakes time now because social media really got ppl feeling every moment they spend with friends needs to be camera ready
It’s so important for me to spend low stakes time with people.

Sitting on the couch. Running errands. Getting cheap food.

Everything doesn’t need to be a production.

Everything America does to cut off its nose to spite its face is to hurt Black people first and women second. If you keep that in mind everything makes sense
I will never stop being aghast that the United States built a higher education system that was literally the envy of the entire world—our bitterest political enemies nonetheless sent their children to us to be educated, it was so good—& then just decided to systematically, ruthlessly dismantle it

There is nothing accidental about why there is no left wing of American politics. The American left was strong, unique, had influence and thinkers. The US engaged in a multi decade long program to systematically dismantle and destroy left wing organizations. Everything from blacklisting to murder.
