The real scam: making you fear the “the other” while the rich rob you blind. I wish every American understood this.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election.
Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind?
It's not because of immigrants, trans people, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP.
It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains

Fun fact: there was a trans woman in the bathroom I was using today.
You’ll never believe what I did next:
I pissed. I washed my hands. I nodded to them on the way out, and I went on about my day because I’m not a fucking psychopath who cares what bathroom people use.
