"Call it democracy, or call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth within this country for all God's children." —MLK Jr.

You ever wonder what the world looked like before streetlights?

I tried to write about empathy and ended up writing about fascism again

Make no mistake: our old trauma programming will greet us every morning of our recovery w/ 1,472 reasons why today is the day we should give up on this stupid "recovery" thing. Wish it good morning, pat it on the head-- then get out of bed & work your recovery today.

Fuck Reagan. I'd piss on the bastard's grave in a minute.

Wounded Knee is a dark stain upon our nation’s history. We must remember it for what it truly was, not for what white nationalists would have it be.

Drop a 👏 if you agree with us ⤵️

Argue for your limitations, and sure enough, they're yours. - Richard Bach

"Free speech is not about whether someone else agrees or disagrees; it's about whether you are able to do it." --Jasmine Crockett, just now to Chris Hayes.

I'll just leave this here.

It is so hard to quit smoking when I've been around it my whole life. I could use some advice on quitting.

400 Americans now own more wealth than the bottom 50% of Americans. Those 400 people are currently running this country, not the people. This can’t continue. #Econsky

Trauma recovery is never, ever about "getting rid" of feelings, "parts," or even memories. I know, they hurt. I know, you hate this. Valid. Real. But the path ahead is about acknowledging & integrating & realistically transforming them-- not amputating or destroying them.

Why is it such a difficult concept for some people that your happiness shouldn't have to come at the cost of someone else's? We all win when we all win, not when some win a lot and others lose everything.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but racism isn’t patriotism.

Dude I know idiocracy comparisons are overblown but come on

RIP Nez Perce native American leader Chief Joseph, died this day 1904. “I believe much trouble and blood would be saved if we opened our hearts more.” “It does not require many words to speak the truth.” “The earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it.”

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

So Trump gets DOJ to drop an obvious bribery case against Tom Homan, then fires the US Attorney who found insufficient evidence to prosecute Letitia James, then threatens to fire Pam Bondi and replace her with dunce Lindsey Halligan unless she immediately indicts his enemies.

There’s no hiding the political retaliation and weaponization. It’s all out in the open.

Remember: Politicians aren't our masters, they're our EMPLOYEES and we need to treat them as such.

😣😥

The American 🇺🇸 ambassador : we just can’t figure out why there is so much anti-American sentiment?

"Kind" does not have to equal "passive." Anyone who tries to convince us otherwise is invested in us staying passive-- & it behooves us to wonder why.

What a good day to remember who the f*ck you are— and why your real self has nothing to do w/ what your bullies and abusers tried to make you believe. Breathe; blink; focus.

Look at this old Miller tweet. What's that about free speech you fucking little NAZI? =================

The one good thing about this “run America like a business” nightmare is that more people are beginning to realize how corrupt and craven many businesses truly are. Take notes. Never forget how they abandoned us. Don’t forgive their complicity.

Not unless we keep choosing to speak up for the world we want, we keep trying, we refuse to accept oligarchy, and we remember our principles.

Anyone else feel like a woman like this should not have the ear of the president?

Where the separate divisions of ANTIFA landed on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944:

Wealth isn't the problem. Human nature is. A billion dollars in cash sitting in a very large safe buried 20 ft underground? Harmless. It's paper. In the hands of a good steward? Magical for many human beings in general. In the hands most? An overall erosion of all things good.

It was never about “freedom.” It was always about who was in control.

Listen bro, you can create a little and you did something. You can create nothing, take care of your mental, rest, and you did something. Imagine, envision. It builds toward the ultimate goal of finishing something. Sometimes, this shit is slow and agonizing. Just do what you can when you can.

You know you're getting old when you see a movie from the early aughts and think, that's an old movie.

OH MY GOD

Previous generations fought fascism in nearly every corner of the earth. Today it’s on our streets, silencing opposition and attempting to control the airwaves. The GOP has declared all out war on free speech. It’s up to us to fight for it.

2022 — a confession:

I don’t have a lot of sympathy for very wealthy, privileged people who are capitulating to fascism and/or staying silent because they’re “scared.” People are being dragged out of their homes and people who could be next are *still* speaking up. Silence won’t protect you but it emboldens them

Trump calls Antifa a dangerous terrorist organization & will investigate it. Antifa means anti-Fascist. The entire USA was anti-Fascist during WWII & fought a war against Fascists, right? Does Trump consider the USA a terrorist organization?
