Pay special attention when you experience instability. The unstable vine will attach itself to anything nearby, even if by doing so it slowly dies. #thecriticalpoint #socialjustice #meditation #philosophy #zen

It's not necessary to find someone perfect to learn from them. They just have to be better than you at what you want to improve. You're emulating them, not worshipping them. This works for individuals, groups, and nations. #thecriticalpoint #socialjustice #meditation #books #reading #writing

I was today-years old when I learned there's an abbreviation of the plural form of "MR." (Misters) Merriam-Webster's definition of "Messrs.": www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/M.... #dictionary #ilovewords #english #writers #editors #authors

Do not worship heroes. Sooner or later you will be disappointed. Better to find good guides for each mountain. Just be sure they've been to the summit you seek. #peace #nature #meditation #truth #zen #socialjustice

Conservatives are the party of fighters. They fought against ending slavery, women voting, ending child labor, civil rights, and public schools. #thecriticalpoint #socialjustice #fightoligarchy #boycottbillionaires #nokings #indivisible

Things you didn't decide: Your birthplace, your parents, your government, religion, your childhood,or the society you live in. You're under no obligation to be the same person you were five minutes ago. This life is not a dress rehearsal. Make it count. #philosophy #socialjustice #meditation

The quality of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts. The quality of your thoughts depends on the quality of your knowledge. Seek knowledge. #thecriticalpoint #socialjustice #meditation #philosophy

A word on nostalgia. Well, more than a word. Nostalgia can be extremely powerful, overwhelming at times. Often, it can mean more than the present, which can be dangerous. For me, it's what I needed at the time. That doesn't mean I still do. Better that today creates memories for future nostalgia.

Gangster Capitalism is incompatible with Democracy. It is not possible to have the ultra-rich and a free and fair society. This is not an opinion. It's just history. #socialjustice #thecriticalpoint #nokings #boycottbillionaires #noultrarich

Compassion isn't always kind. Sometimes it's just truthful.

Thank goodness Kid Rock apparently opened with "Bawitaba" so real Americans didn't have to feel uncomfortable not understanding Bad Buny's lyrics.

If you haven't made enemies in life you might have underestimated how important you are to a better world. #socialjustice #thecriticalpoint #nokings #iceout #indivisible

Only Americans should perform at the Superbowl. Rihanna, Shania Twain, Cèline Dion, Enrique Iglesias, Coldplay, The Weeknd, Shakira, Gloria Estefan, and Pitbull were OK because they don't make me feel uncomfortable. #thecriticalpoint #socialjustice

Quick tip: Repeatedly making excuses for someone believed to be "chosen" or "divine" is not loyalty. That's a cult. The cavalry isn't coming. It's up to us and we're in this together. #thecriticalpoint #socialjustice #nokings #indivisible #iceout

Remember, "To Serve Man" was a cookbook. We're in this together. #iceout #socialjustice #thecriticalpoint #nokings #indivisible #boycottbillionaires #boycottrobberbarons #boycottoligarchs newrepublic.com/post/205982/...

This I promise. And I rarely make promises. youtu.be/0Ft1Zeaykm0?...

Remember, our taxes pay for ICE. Immigrant Wisconsin Man Falsely Accused by Kristi Noem of Threatening Donald Trump Can Be Released on Bond | Chicago News | WTTW share.google/Mqw4G49LmK7s...

"Previous altercations" are exactly what's necessary. Not "thoughts and prayers". #socialjustice #iceout #fuckice

The Cavalry isn't coming. It's up to us. But we're in this together. #thecriticalpoint #socialjustice #fightoligarchy #boycottbillionaires #foxtrotdeltatango

Remember when thinking, "They should've just obeyed and complied" was a healthy sign of a free and fare society? Yeah, me neither. #socialjustice #thecriticalpoint #foxtrotdeltatango

When history repeats because it was forgotten. #socialjustice #thecriticalpoint #abolishice

There's no shame in not knowing why the American flag is flying in a concentration camp. The shame lies in not wanting to know. #socialjustice #thecriticalpoint #abolishice

Justice requires full accountability. Reveal the identity of the ICE agent who killed Rene Good. #socialjustice #thecriticalpoint #nokings

And if it's all staged to line everyone's pockets, well that follows their M.O. too.

Remember when a country bombing another country and kidnapping their president and his wife meant the invading country must be the bad guys?

I wonder if one of the questions on the "Cognitive Examination" was, "Is it a good idea to kidnap the president of the country with the largest oil reserves after declaring a "war on drugs"?

Here's to 2026 being a year of truth and accountability. The cavalry isn't coming. It's up to us.

That's the plan. Provoke a war(s). Proclaim being "at war". Suspend elections. Announce winning fake election. Hold inauguration in $400M ballroom. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Sending out peaceful vibes to anyone who needs to receive them.

What does this scene make you think of? #nature

Read not to learn what to think, but to learn how to think. #socialjustice #thecriticalpoint

Choosing to side against a criminal regime is not dividing a nation, it's defining a nation. Rise. Resist. Rebel. #nokings #indivisible #socialjustice #thecriticalpoint

These leaves are actually dying. Sometimes it takes something dying for something beautiful to be seen, realized or understood. Don't be afraid to let things die if they no longer serve you. #nature #socialjustice #thecriticalpoint

That includes billionaires. #nokings #indivisible #boycottbillionaires

Remember, if at the end of your life you've not made enemies, even unintentionally, then you might not have ever fought for something important; you might not have ever defended someone who couldn't defend themselves, and you might have underestimated how important you are. You are our last hope.

Happy September Equinox. A day the entire world shares, although depending on what country you're in, the days will now be shorter or longer. It's a reminder common facts can have different meanings. #septemberequinox #science #nature #thecriticalpoint

There is a fundamental law in nature: Cause and effect.

Remember that your mind will be influenced by what you expose it to. #thecriticalpoint

Just a quick reminder from an "illegal alien." #thecriticalpoint #socialjustice

Noticing simple beauty is so important. #nature #thecriticalpoint

Just found the best café in 30 years. #thecriticalpoint #thesimplelife #howtobehappy

Remember, it's ok to not be ambitious because you're already happy enjoying the simple things in life.

Remember, nature is cheaper than therapy. But therapy is good too. #thecriticalpoint #meditation #slomonature

Repost this please! Someone I know was given a $150 gift card that didn't work. The manager kept raising irrelevant points and was zero help. It's easy to be a multi-billion dollar company. Just lie, cheat, and steal. #boycottbillionaires #thecriticalpoint #socialjustice

If you don't make enemies in life you've never fought for something important. It's possible to be peaceful and an agitator at the same time. #thecriticalpoint #agitate #nokings #boycottbillionaires

Life doesn't get easier until you get stronger. You are responsible for your own progress but that doesn't mean you have to do it alone. #thecriticalpoint #socialjustice

The quality of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts. One minute of positive thinking after waking can influence your entire day. #meditation #thecriticalpoint

Remember to rehearse ways to remain calm. Staying calm to make good decisions may become a superpower in the future. #thecriticalpoint #meditation
