After more than 10 years together, my cat finally let me trim his nails! He has let the vet trim them before, but would never let me do more than one or two nails. Today he finally let me do three full paws, and two nails from his right front paw. I'm completely shocked and amazed.

The only way to remain fully politically engaged through work while not making one’s way as a politician is through art. Everything else will require some sacrifices for the wellbeing of the organization, even if it’s the DNC.

Act like you’ve been here before, maybe? Anyone losing their mind having FOMO because they shouldn’t profit off of ICE raids is, imo, not fully aware of the range of opportunities available to them.

On top of that, LA is not requiring 3x the rent or 40x the rent. Many places are much more lenient on income requirements, so you can’t necessarily assume their income based on their rent.

I understand the thought process here but much of the Palisades burned down where some rents for units on the coast were over $20-30k a month. If you lost everything and found a rental for $15k that suddenly went up to $22k, I honestly don’t care if you can afford it— it’s still wrong.
Newspaper: "L.A. landlords are price gouging! This listing went from $15,000 per month to $22,000 per month!"

Me: "Who the fuck is paying $15,000 per month in rent??"

More succinctly:
Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare.

Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.”

We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

I care because they’re taking ownership in the company. They are not free of responsibility. They are just as dirty in my opinion. It has nothing to do with me and all about how it just feels repulsive, like rent gouging after the fires in LA.

Personally, I don’t feel that anyone is a legitimately good person or trustworthy and I’m starting to rethink my relationships with everyone I’ve ever met. I feel that everyone has to be viewed as someone who would seek to harm me or other minorities.

Wasn’t kind, but I don’t give a damn. Y’all want to exploit shares of private prisons and the deportation of immigrants for a quick rinse and repeat. Get out of my face.

While we’re here, stop using prison labor for things. You disgust me.

The guys buying the prison stocks are the ones with the loud ass mufflers if you were confused.

Stop. Trading. On. Bro. Science. Y’all are like gym rats that just wanna train arms 7 days a week. It’s actually the most annoying thing in the world.

The point ultimately is that, while anyone can find this information on their own if they’re determined to find it, the people who have no business doing it weren’t ever going to find it if it wasn’t literally thrown in their face.

Montgomery County Public Schools comes out and tells Trump to pound sand with his EO telling schools that they have to discriminate against transgender students.

This is how you refuse to comply.

Trying to make this my positive place is difficult for me, because I feel that I have a responsibility to act as a moral compass for onlookers who may not necessarily show that they’ve read what I have to say. Not necessarily directing these at anyone— not everyone immediately sees it as “wrong.”
January 30, 2025 at 7:20 AM
I’m not a fan of that, no. I’m sorry, lol. I don’t think anyone should be involved in prison/private prison/defense/war manufacturing stocks. Wtf? It’s not funny, but this feels like a no brainer to me.
January 30, 2025 at 6:41 AM
If you, Congressperson or not, were not previously trading stock in war manufacturing and private prisons (which has always existed) you don’t need to now just because you saw that the stock price went up. This is how I know people have no morals and literally know nothing except greed.

Restricting gender affirming care for people 19 and under isn’t about protecting kids. It’s a long squeeze hoping that they will fall off before they get a fighting chance. They are banking on people giving up by adding time and creating more obstacles.

Everyone should be aware of the line that has been crossed in the Trump trans military EO.

No longer is this about "evidence," "science" or "protecting kids."

Now, explicitly, black and white, it's about trans people being "liars," "dishonorable," "false."

It's a big step towards very bad things.

As Trump signs yet another executive order that affects trans people, ask me again if I’m conservative or even remotely right wing as a trans man, and I’m going to assume that you live under a rock and don’t take jack shit seriously. www.advocate.com/politics/tru...
