I was a few sections to the right of you!

:blink blink: Why do people want to see destruction.

and... "tell us the solution or I won't believe the problem exists"?

pure copium (il)logic

Ooooooh

Is that your art gallery sim on the display?

I'm sorry

Do they not like to call themselves "professionals" because money is icky?

🤣

As in, are near our house. But don't let me deter your creative ideas or parenting strategies...

You mean "people who earn money by practicing" it seems and not just "people who practice"?

I call upon everyone inside and outside both parties in the US to examine yourself - where are your personal red lines? Are you willing to endure some small amount of discomfort to resist whatever/whoever steps beyond those lines? Choose your own integrity over craven fealty.

And for sure, trading on the presidency to fleece memecoin bagholders is wrong. It's sad that we don't have better representation and coordination systems to better allow the electorate to steer our politicians away from evil. Speaking up may not do a lot, but it's not nothing.

So, a few lines from me: Keeping kids away from their parents is wrong. Blaming refugees for problems in the wider immigration system is wrong. Legally denying the existence of transgender persons is wrong. And I haven't even heard of all the EOs today.

Object-level posting is a bit cringe in this part of wherever, but, sometimes enough is enough. Beyond the reasonable bounds of strategy differences between people of similar values, we the people determine en masse what level of evil gets rejected by us as societal immune system.

Even though I mostly avoid sinking my energy into direct political action these days, I feel called to earnestpost to bluesky TPOTers and friends that might see this - reminding myself, and you, and us, that we are not entirely separate from anything that's happening out there.

No, there aren't easy answers to the moral responsibilities of organizations, leaders, or individuals in the face of governmental abuse, malice, and corruption. I've since pursued social good in ways aiming deeper than the political layer, because the system won't fix itself.

I'm proud of my 700+ former colleagues who signed on to the campaign at professional risk to themselves, and especially to the 230+ who demonstrated in the walkout outside HQ in Seattle/Fremont. I continue to call shameful the public choices of CEOs like
@aselipsky and @Benioff.

Yup yup it's virtual (not in person) but that's my main community of belonging. Which to be clear is the main thing I'm valuing, over any explicit religious tradition/frame.
