Humans are bursting with emotions. We can use them to motivate them to do good things, not just bad things.
I’m second to none in backing Obama but I’ll never understand how one of the politicians who has provoked the most emotion in American history always goes into a “let’s be logical” mode. No. Let people have their feelings and let it motivate them to action.
This is the ultimate truth of life. This is why you never never never accept injustice/inequality. No matter how hard the odds. Because right is right, and with time and persistence, things CAN and do change for the better.
That was my first real time lesson in the idea that bad things that happen for a long time don’t have to stay that way forever. Positive change is possible and it can happen in the blink of an eye.
I think Nasim hit the nail on the head, perfectly, with this.
the more i think about it the more i feel acton’s mom is the “perfect” symbol of a republican woman. a person who looks the other way at a rapist, who preys on the vulnerable, who would rather let her soul rot than challenge a hierarchical power structure. aren’t they all some version of her?
Save for reference.
BREAKING: U.S. inflation jumped to 3.7% in September, up from 3.4% in August, moving further away from the Federal Reserve’s 2% target. Consumer prices rose 0.6% in a single month, while gas prices surged 9.1% A reminder: Inflation was 3.0% when Biden left office. Under Trump, it’s now up to 3.7%
This is how we do it.
Yelled at an old white guy sitting in his car in the supermarket parking lot, MAGA hat, Trump decal. Said he should be ashamed for what Trump's done to our country, demanded he take down that shameful decal. Left wagging my finger and yelling, Shame, shame, shame! He was too stunned to respond.
Having begun my California phase of life just when this got going, I can attest to how this didn't work out so well for them. Karmic. (Well, this is California-speak.)
I have dubbed this The Prop 187 Syndrome, where the GOP wins latino voters over with issues like abortion, "business friendliness", and gender issues, only to be incapable of *not* governing like the xenophobic racists they really are once they come into power. Didn't work out well for them in CA.
I'm not over it either. I was relieved when I was in college, nerd-ing out with my new college friends about our childhoods, and learned that FINALLY they made Snuffy visible...because they realized that was sending the WRONG freaking message to kids being sexually abused.
And then everyone had to fucking apologize to Big Bird because Snuffy was REAL the whole time, and they didn't believe him. Still not over it.

It would be wild if Lindsey Graham’s prophecy about Republicans picking Trump and getting crushed came true in his sister’s senate bid in South Carolina
Worth watching: South Carolina Dems are starting to roll out ads featuring GOPers endorsing Dem Annie Andrews. On our pod, Jalisa Washington-Price, who runs a PAC, says a $2 million ad buy is set to feature a former GOP lawmaker from a deep red county: newrepublic.com/article/2163...
Read this post but couldn't repost it til today...when the troll farm in Russia got hit by Ukraine, and social media sites are strangely...peaceful and kind.
Twitter/X is just a full right-wing cope mode over the polls this week. Totally data-free discourse flying left and right about non-response among rural voters. It's the wild west over there
As a child of the 1970s, the phrase "fuck these coked up Bluesky muppets" fills me with glee and joy.
I noticed that a lot of people didn't catch the sarcasm in this hed or read the piece, which is quite good. so we discussed changing the headline. but then I thought, fuck these coked up Bluesky muppets. let's leave it as is. Anyway, give it look.
Which still leaves 12 million Americans DEAD.
We didn’t learn anything from Covid. People are already confidently calling the plague a nothingburger. Sure, we have cipro and doxycycline. The obvious concern here is that this strain was modified to be antibiotic resistant or spread more easily. We simply don’t know yet.

I agree, in manner of the way Hungary's new government is kicking out all the corrupt Orban people.
Americans must dismantle the Heritage Foundation through the IRS, the courts, and the ballot to end the rolling coup. The communist rope prophecy materialized when the Heritage Foundation published a treason blueprint against the United States under the foundation's masthead. Across 920
