Every day, I wish for a world in which those with the loudest mics and largest audiences preached for a more empathetic world.

Selective outrage is not the way.
Diluting a movement's ruthlessness is not the way.
Punching down on marginalized people is not the way.

Justice and empathy, always.

There is none.
Mars sucks!
Let's take care of the earth instead.

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

What is really stupid about the wall is that most illegal aliens came here in a plane or by car and just stayed here too long.

Meanwhile, the orange dipshit has ICE goons nabbing people who are at immigration court trying to do it the right way.

It was NEVER about illegal immigration--just power.

While defending the luddite argument in Discord, I stumbled into this IMO succinct explanation for opposing generative AI:

At every step in the process, it impoverishes us.

Progressives wish to move the country and democracy forward for all.

Regressives are what we’re dealing with right now; taking oh so many steps back to minority rule, racism, hate based policies, and oligarchy.

We’re going to go on a rant for a minute, and yes we’re bringing some history with us. Back in 1755, Benjamin Franklin wrote words that still echo today: “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”

Can one be exonerated via a convicted sex trafficker, interviewed by your former defense lawyer (fixer) now at the DOJ?

It’s not just a conflict of interest; it’s a masterclass in laundering a reputation.

Quite the character reference if you ask me.

It's so easy to hate. That's why it's so much harder to make peace than war. The best thing we can do is understand the other side.

They honestly believe the world is out to get them. They "know" that they're right and only want to show people truth.

Don't hate them. Pity them.

When a government starts targeting former intelligence officials, law enforcement leaders, and anyone who once investigated or criticized those in power, it’s not just a red flag, it’s a page straight from the authoritarian playbook.

Can you hit repost? Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat.

My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you share and follow me?

Destroy the little bit of a safety net we still provide as you give more money to those who already have it, all while giving unprecedented funding to federal law enforcement in the midst of a president seeking to unconstitutionally and illegally use federal law enforcement.

What could go wrong?

Healthcare for seniors is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse.

Food for hungry kids is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse.

A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.

Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.
