Being human is my full time job. Creativity is my bread and butter. Impurity is my jam.
Where I've voted for Kamala I don't know how many times now.

How to prepare?
How far can we see ahead?
Thinking about the beings.. human, animal, plants,bodies of nature... that are the best at seeing ahead, adapting, surviving.
What are their strengths? what are their strategies?

Important 🧵: Stanford political scientist uses data to show DOGE is attacking “liberal” agencies, not focusing on waste & inefficiency: “The hardest hit agencies are those that regulate industry, protect public health, and expand access to education.”
The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

Remember when the NYT wrote 10 stories a day about Hillary’s emails and there were “lock her up chants” at rallies for using a personal email account? How quaint!!! Now, you can institutionally hack into private data in violation of the law and unelected Co-President Musk can get away with it.
"Social security numbers, home addresses, bank accounts. Why does DOGE need all of that?"
Trump: "Well it doesn't, but they get it very easily."

This is good advice from an experienced staffer on how best to reach out and communicate with your senators regional office:
I ran a US Senator's regional office for a while
What to know about calling your Rep/Senator:
-Be pleasant. They aren't their bosses, they're often interns.
-Be concise. Say why you're calling and what you'd like their boss to do.
-If not getting thru to DC, call the local office on the website.

Even though Dems are limited they are not without options.
And to me, most importantly, they have to counter his nonsense quickly and with facts.
The party has to get a media strategy that creates online content that immediately responds to his daily “speeches”

It’s Monday
Trump will create a new mess that was already resolved by Biden/Harris or Obama/Biden but the media will treat as new.
His sycophantic followers will slurp up and his billionaire lackeys and media stenographers will parrot the nonsense.

Inspectors General are key public servants tasked with holding our government accountable. They’re independent, nonpartisan whose work is identifying fraud, waste, & importantly, abuse. Trump just fired them all. Make no mistake: he's purging those who will protect the rule of law.

Too many still don’t understand why lost. It wasn’t because of Cheney or AOC, it’s not even about ideology. It’s about misinformation, bigotry and Trump. We don’t need to moderate we need to start keeping it real and show some backbone. Stop letting the right wing create narratives with no pushback.
No doubt generational changes in leadership are important & necessary at appropriate time.
But this choice isn't only abt generational change, it is abt ideological. AOC is too far left, which contributed to 2024 Democrat loss. That requires reflection, not reward.
We need politics to moderate.
