A mellow life punctuated by memory making moments.

Pro-democracy, equity for ALL.

I’m here to be inspired and motivated, I hope to do the same. 🇺🇸🌍💙
Mobilizing the people. Confronting corruption. AOC and Gavin Newsom are answering a moment that demands real leadership.

We are making a weak Russia stronger, and by standing alone, China will soon facilitate the global shift we resisted for decades of cold war with the USSR.

Taylor Swift is more than a celebrity influencer, she is powerful.

It’s a big win for our country that, in one of his final statements, Biden is calling out American oligarchy.

Capitalism has inherent weaknesses, but oligarchy is entirely incompatible with democracy.

Thank you President Biden.

Taylor Swift has donated $10 million to California wildfire relief. In a time filled with hostility, it’s heartening to see how good still begets good through acts of kindness and generosity.

Taylor Swift shows how one person can help create a better world, earning credibility far beyond her celebrity. Most of us don’t have her platform, but our efforts still matter.

In 2025, a year marked by recent violence, let’s set an example that we can achieve good by doing good.

Socialist interventions are needed in any capitalist democracy. The concept of capitalism is, by definition, at odds with the principle of equity.

Trump waited to see if the day’s developments would play out in his favor. He had been anticipating this insurrection. It was not a spontaneous event.

It’s broke and we need to fix it.

Class consciousness within a democracy is a direct threat to oligarchs. The working and middle class majority make up 90% of voters, yet we’re told change is either unproductive or impossible. The truth is, we’ve held the power all along, and it’s time we use it.

Who we vote for matters, it makes a difference. Yet, persistent oligarchical forces exert influence no matter who we elect. The 99% must demand that our leaders confront this imbalance.

Oligarchy has so thoroughly displaced democracy in our country that resisting these entrenched forces is now an act of patriotism.

Fighting back oligarchy means making room for healthy democracy to reclaim its place.

Thank you BernieSanders!

“You can only push people so far.”

Deny millions the healthcare they’ve paid for, and deep anger is inevitable. While it doesn’t justify violence, human psychology is clear: years of pain and suffering will push some to react less passively than expected.

Norms have significant inertia and when we can’t pull them forward, we have to ourselves run ahead.
December 15, 2024 at 1:33 AM
The greatest changes come from those who refuse to accept ‘what is’ and strive for what should be.

Social norms carry a lot of inertia, so get comfortable developing personal ethics that may be ahead of their time.
December 14, 2024 at 2:44 AM
The right has been trained to say “but those people create jobs”. No evidence or context. No consideration for the opportunity cost.
December 13, 2024 at 12:45 AM
Let your personal ethics always be ahead of unjust norms.

While it shouldn’t be, feminism can be polarizing—even so Taylor Swift has long and decisively stood on the side of women and girls. It’s a risk she didn’t have to take considering her exceptionally successful career.

Thank you to her and everyone else who takes a stand!

My initial reaction is to dismiss TikTok as a real national security threat—it seems almost silly, like one of the most innocuous gray zone actions China could take.

Still, both the U.S. and China engage in many such activities, and this is just another example.

Health insurance companies try to obscure the direct link between their greed and the suffering—even death—of the customers who rely on them.

We each have a responsibility to assess the ethics here, as what is legal and normalized today may one day be deemed criminal.
December 6, 2024 at 7:16 PM
When causing harm, even death, is legal and normalized, there can be thousands of victims and no justice.

Responsible individuals hide behind the organization and the system.
