I figured it out! I know what's wrong with everything! I call it Anihilism, like Nihilism but dumber. Instead of doing nothing, it seeks to destroy everything. Oh... wait... its based on everything not like me being wrong. That sounds like the first sentence of this post :)

Freedom isn't real, "Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" are, but without limits people take rights away from each other. Liberty yes, but limited. Also, money and power are drugs that make people as crazy as... well... drugs. I sound so European, I think these ideas break America!

Massive nationwide protests against Oligarchy and Tyranny in the US, hundreds of thousands took the streets across every major city and everywhere in between. #NoKings #3E #EndImpunity #EndAutogenocide #EndOligarchy

I very much welcome the AGE OF TALENT, to destroy the age of advantage. We are drowning in shortcut salesmanship, poor quality, and excuses instead of development. Lete these words go: Efficiency, Conformity, Competition, Expectation And replace them with these Authentic, Curiosity

Until no soul remains in bondage, the work isn't over.

Thank you to everyone who supported this campaign. Together we were able to do things never seen in American politics, to set a new standard from what we should expect from the people who try to represent us. What we built matters, regardless of the outcome. And the work isn’t over.

Today there seams to be two groups: - Doing what's right - Asking people to: conform, delay, deny, anything to stop rockin the boat. The pressure ranges from hate speech to complaints. But it's the same... anyone enforcing convention is not on the right side of history.

The way civilian infrastructure is being bombed in the middle east makes it more of a "religious war" than any act of national security. If humanity survives, 100 years from now they will call this time period the "Abrahamic Wars".

Congress has been bought, there is no line they will not let Trump cross. Joining genocidal Isreal to wage war against Iran is disgraceful. TAX THE RICH... And don't believe a word of anyone who won't say they will. Financial addiction is real... and spreads from the rich to the middle class.

Anyone who has not stood up by now, never will. They have no line that can be crossed. Vote to shutdown the government, or you are an accessory to these crimes. The people are done with this, donkeys and elephants alike, don't let the show go on, it has no good ending.

Seriously... Oh right, AIPAC bought both sides!

Hey Congress!! United States Constitution (Article I, Section 8)Congress holds the exclusive power to formally declare war, authorize the use of military force, and raise/support the armed forces. How does it feel to be nuetered? What are you doing? SERIOUSLY! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING????

American Optimism must die! We can have hope without fiction, humour without blindness, we won't melt or crumble into dust by admitting that mistakes were made, and consequences exist. Or... Dare I even imply... We might not be the best (*gasp*)?

Looks like the white upper-middle class is the, often overlooked, driver of conflict in our time: "More than half of the Jan. 6 insurrectionists were white-collar workers such as business owners, architects, doctors and lawyers." www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2...

wbur.orgWhite, employed and mainstream: What we know about the Jan. 6 rioters one year laterPolitical scientist Robert Pape has found that unlike other extremists he's studied, most of the Jan. 6 rioters were older, employed, and few are members of hate groups.

RAW FOOTAGE: Minnesota State Troopers charge into anti-ICE protesters with multiple arrests after an unlawful assembly had been declared. One journalist says: "It was a free-for-all, I was grabbed twice, but ultimately let go after showing my Press badge." Make sure this gets seen! Share widely.

"As American as stuff that didn't come from here." Can't remember the last time I had a slice of apple pie. I can remember the hamburgers, tacos, and pizza. Which come from Hamburg Germany, Mexico, and Italy. "Imigrants are welcome here" is as American as apple pie!

This is your police force @governorwalz.mn.gov, have you learned nothing since George Floyd's murder? This endorsement of clearing protesters is just pandering to the law-and order status-quo. Proud of the people of Minniapolis, not proud of their governer!

🚨BREAKING: Local Minneapolis police rush ICE protesters in front of federal building—violently arresting one woman as she screams. LIVE NOW ⬇️

If the testimonies from women was not enough, the emails won't be either. Let's face it, we live in a world where horrible people think they can get away with anything. Because they have so far...

Action makes the world turn, stop asking for permission! Arrest warrants for ICE: No Jailed for Contempt: No Impeached: No Violated Constitution: Yes Violated Court Orders: Yes We did not elect you to merely follow the Music! Do Something!!!

I am currently on my way to another hearing regarding my federal charges for protesting ICE. When I say our leaders must be willing to put everything on the line, I mean it. And frankly, I see it as the bare minimum in this moment.

Let's hope this is the apex of a 5,000 year cycle, where the nurse replaces the soldior as the dominant male archetype. The benefits of healers and caregivers is greater than the that of warriors. I will to light a candle for him too.

Lighting a candle in our home tonight for Alex Peretti who was killed in cold blood in a neighborhood named after John Greenleaf Whittier, the Quaker abolitionist poet. In solidarity with all Minnesotans.

Really interesting documentary about psychiatrists around the world commenting on deppression. At one point a Canadian doctor advocates for sharing bad circumstances with society instead of blaming individuals. Really thoughtful. Watch Sad People Factory on Tubi: link.tubi.tv/fubP36x4c0b

Unless we want the bad taste of history repeating, we have to do what rarely happens in America, follow through on consequences for powerful people.

Abolish ICE is not enough. Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough. We need prosecutions and trials. Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.

I think my favorite genre of post right now is the fan pages really hammering home that everything is political and that you don’t get to enjoy movies and games and books and sports and niche hobbies and cute animal videos when someone is afraid to create those things, or worse, is disappeared.

I don't forgive you for renewing the Patriot Act, but damn... you explain things so well. Well said @barackobama.bsky.social, and it's refreshing to see an official statement, that is actually... well... official sounding!

Barack Obama@barackobama.bsky.social

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Don’t let this White House lie to you. Believe what you see. Alex Pretti was trying to help a woman off the ground. Then immigration agents tackled, shot, and killed him. It’s time for them to get the hell out of MN.
