There was never any such thing as being "socially liberal and fiscally conservative."
That was always a smokescreen to make conservative policies sound more palatable.
My heart breaks over yet another needless, preventable school shooting
I cannot imagine losing a child. And I can't bear that this is because of an amendment that, for decades, was understood to mean one thing, but is now taken to mean that we must live in a country where our children are disposable
This is ICE in Boston. 4 to 5 ICE agents per car are driving around town, intimidating people.
We are not safer; we are not better off having these assholes in our streets spending our tax dollars.
#fuckice
I keep watching #ICE commit yet another violation of our rights, and people are still not mad enough.
If we were, we would be in the streets, grinding this to a halt.
But now I know why we will never be mad enough. Deep down, we feel relief that it isn't us.
We're afraid. They already won.
We have a lunatic in the White House! And what he said was not a joke and it was not funny. That’s not how a real president behaves. Of course he is not a real president. He is a DANGEROUS, demented lunatic!!
In the US, we spend too much time whining about taxes when what we really need to do is demand that our taxes go to making fewer bombs and providing more affordable healthcare.
“Can you give my dad back? I miss him.” 💔
ICE kidnapped her father Luis at a DOT inspection. Her mother says he is legal and did everything the right way. #AbolishICE
On the train, a woman frantically argues with a medical billing office. She says she owes nothing because her insurance paid, repeatedly asking why she is being charged and when the confusion will end.
Somehow, this is someone's vision of a functioning health system.
STUPIDITY IS MORE DANGEROUS THAN MALICE

Gavin Fucken Newsom just let the Paramount merger go through. Allowing yet another oligopoly owned by billionaires to control the news and media that is fed to us.
We need a left-wing movement that pulls the Democrats away from being right-of-center Republicans.
I keep wondering when the US will be mad enough.
- not the return of the concentration camps
- not the selling of public land for wholesale destruction
- not the PDFs
- not the bombing of children
- not the tariffs or gas prices
- not the needless inflation
- not the corruption
- not the abuse
ICE: "We are going to defend the US no matter how much of it we have to burn to do so."
This isn't the "Batman" mentality, this is the Joker with a badge.
Trump is not a symptom. Trump is the culmination of all the corpo interest that the Dems have looked away from and all the class and bigotry that the GOP have actively fostered.
Trump is what's left once American values are replaced by religious bigots and the "free market" captured by corporations
The window for effective climate action closes soon.
It's time to wake up.

On the train, everyone is on their phone. We all scroll through a fresh new atrocity, kids falling, a news clip about a vague executive order that will bring on the next wave of atrocities, the falls sales... All while we think about what to make for dinner.
We are not angry enough.
Why the fuck is AI in my #gmail? When I search for an email, I want to see the email, not some summary of what AI thinks is relevant.
Search does not need AI. AI summaries should be a nice-to-have, not the only thing we get.
The #PSBlackout is such a microcosm of the current state of the world. Some Gamers, many of whom play games fighting against empires and sticking it to the corpo tools, are out there supporting Sony.
Sony doesn't care about you; they only want you to consume. Corporations take away choices and options to consolidate power to keep prices high. This isn't about digital or physical - digital has won, we choose to convince over ownership- its about control. Control over what you can and can't do.
And yet gamers are making fun of the same people that, in their virtual world, they would be trying to be. It's as if some gamers play all the games but never get their meaning.
No matter what you say or how you feel about Trump, you do not hate him enough.
The US will be unraveling his stupidity for generations and will be paying for the consequences for longer.
What do you think will happen to all the kids growing up without parents and guardians?
He is creating the next generation of 'freedom fighters" both at home and abroad.
Kids will grow up to hate the US. And we will deserve their retribution, but it will not be justice. Justice is needed now. We are the ones who are letting it happen. We should hold him and ourselves accountable.
