Just a regular concerned citizen of the world, aghast at what we've done and continue to do to the place and each other.

PSA: I don't respond to DM's.

Quite perturbed that no one seems to care about climate change which is the biggest threat to humanity. Fast track energy projects profiting the rich, military expansion while cutting already strained social programs. This is all going to crash down on our heads. Does anyone even give a shit?

Funerals are being held in Gaza today after Israeli airstrikes killed at least 24 people on Saturday, despite the U.S.-brokered ceasefire that began on October 10. Gaza’s Government Media Office says Israel has violated the truce nearly 500 times in 44 days.

So much pain that could have been avoided.

So much pain still to come.

America Is Finally Starting to See Trump for the Bullsh*t Artist He Is
He came to power through a relentless assault of lies. But the debt owed to the truth is coming due.

I recently responded to a post that it is likely Putin has offered Trump a bribe to ensure Russia gets everything it wants. Turns out I wasn't far off.

Holy shit. So Elon decides it would be nice to know what region of the world people are posting from. So they add that little feature.
2 hours later they figure out that many Trump supporters with millions of followers are posting from other countries. Surprise!
That "feature" is now gone.

I hate the word “blessed”. All the people who say how blessed they are because their lives are going well…they’re not blessed…they’re lucky.

How perverse to think some sky fairy is looking down on us blessing some of us over everyone else.

I say this as a lucky person with half a brain.

In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.

I recently had a MAGAt accuse Democrats of serial hoaxes, which I know to be untrue.

I asked for a list of these alleged hoaxes and this is what I got. SMH.

The America First guy has brought in 566 foreign workers during his 5 years in office to work at his companies instead of hiring Americans. And counting.

🧵 Okay so yesterday's vote has me needing to share something.

I've been tracking these 8 Democratic senators for months, and yesterday's surrender on healthcare wasn't surprising—it was predictable.

Let me show you why:

It's not clear at this point whether the US is able to save itself.

The Democratic Party is not going to mobilise mass resistance. Their inaction effectively places them in cahoots with the Republicans. This much is now obvious. I fear for the American people; they are rudderless and leaderless.

Why doesn’t the United States have universal health care? The answer has everything to do with race.

Why Doesn’t America Have Universal Health Care? One Word: Race (Published 2019)
The nation’s first federal health care program served freedmen after the Civil War. From the beginning, white legislators argued it would breed dependence.

Q: Do you think it would've been fitting to lower the flags to half staff when Melissa Hortman, the Minnesota House Speaker, was gunned down by an assassin?

TRUMP: I'm not familiar. The who?

Suddenly "hate speech" is bad. Suddenly "dehumanizing" people is bad. Suddenly "cancel culture" is good. Suddenly words have consequences.

The modern American right in 2025, folks.

Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this.

You're welcome
