I work in a federal prison. The inmates there have been cut off from the changes in the world. Some for close to a decade. It's wild how, as we try to be utopian, the dystopian nature is highlighted. Pluribus, anyone?

Guess it's time to get the homies together again for when Trump suddenly puts us citizens in internment camps with @jd-vance-1.bsky.social this time. Or will he? God bless America

I listened to youtu.be/ZJHGV3FUR_8 on the way home from work. Man @microsoft.com is really making ethically questionable business dealings. I know. Private company. But man. Time to sell Microsoft stock. Ant replacements for Copilot as a doc creator/editor?

An army propped up by another government is scared of random people some thousand miles away. 😒😒

I'm thinking about the chaos of the world (thanks @gilduran.com good podcast by the way). And then I see @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and the #sumudfloatilla and I think, we gonna be alright. As long as we keep pushing forward, we'll be fine. #therevolutionistelevised #freepalestine #hope

I've finally put this to words: the GOP is run by self interest in such an extreme manner. It shows in how they get stuff done. The biggest of them made his way back to the Oval Office. God bless America.

85% of young men support Zohran Mamdani. 79% of young women support Zohran Mamdani. 67% of Jewish people aged 18-44 support Zohran Mamdani. 65% of Black people aged 18-44 support Zohran Mamdani. Would you have guessed *any* of that with how the media has covered all this?

History repeats.
