About that NYT op-ed title…
“You don’t look balanced. You look like beta men who swallowed a fat red pill and washed it down with wine to earn the patriarch’s favor. The “pick me” energy is exhausting.”

Earlier this year, I met a Croatian journalist who was in the US doing a piece on America’s politics and I asked her what surprised her. And she said, “What you all call the far left is just being normal.”

Reading @hcrichardson.bsky.social’s Letters from an American today from a voters perspective, I might consider $45M for an Army parade and $134M LA deployment of national guard and marines—waste, fraud, and abuse. People need economic relief not more fear or burden

If you or someone you know has ever relied on Head Start, you know it changes lives. Now it’s at risk of being eliminated.
Stand up for the next generation.

I spent years fighting my way out of fundamentalism, just for fundamentalism to take over the country. I haven’t felt like this in years. I don’t want to do this again.

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.
You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

If democracy is “by the people, for the people”, then Donald Trump doesn’t get to decide if it exists. We do.
The question isn’t “what is Trump going to do?”, & it isn’t “how it would be if a democrat won?”
The question is now what it has been & always will be: “how will I treat my neighbor?”
