I am at least getting better at recognizing ai videos when I see them. But dang, some are so upsetting and just stick in the brain.

“The point of modern propaganda isn't only to misinform or push an agenda. It is to exhaust your critical thinking, to annihilate truth.” - Garry Kasparov

I’m finding working with my mom’s dementia is like working with multiple personalities. Some are disoriented and manic, others know that they just forgot one last detail.

The Citizens United decision has corrupted our government and is destroying our democracy. Here's a way to get rid of it. robertreich.substack.com/p/how-to-get...

Feeling like buying a large bag of coal and visiting DC offices

35 years ago I felt there were too many people on the planet and figured I would adopt if ever wanted a kid. Read fictional stories where they thinned the population. Honestly did not think this was how it would play out.

Reading his posts is like reading a 2nd graders report and they just learned what and adjective is.

This is the most consequential story for the 2026 midterms. Yet, I cannot find it anywhere on legacy media. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

We are quickly becoming an America that is only for Americans and screw the rest of the world. No one will ever want to even visit us at this rate. Goodbye to those tourism dollars.

“Media offender of the week.” So anyone who ends up there is more than likely telling a really true story. Got it.

These stories keep my little bit of faith in humanity hobbling along.

Contrary to popular reports, DOGE has “burrowed into the agencies like ticks,” government sources tell WIRED. www.wired.com/story/what-i...

So perimenopause looks to behave the same as the rest of my life. Roulette wheel of symptoms. New one each week then spin!

“Orwellian shit going on in Tennessee — Republican voters are being threatened to vote, Democratic voters are being told to vote a day late.” 👋🏽 We are here. These mailers are real. And secretary of voter suppression Tre Hargett seems unconcerned🤔

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running. This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

I never wanted kids myself. But I have always tried to live for the generations to follow. Tread lightly, leave the earth better than you found it.

Shits getting real

One holiday at a time please. Time goes fast enough as it is.

Amazing

If you are white. If you are Black. If you are gay. If you are straight. If you are religious. If you are atheist. If you are right. If you are left. What this. Pay attention.

When can we stop saying “X, formerly known as twitter”?

I am a chameleon. Today, a hippie dressed up to blend in the corporate world. Strangely the hardest part is watching my co worker’s habits. The food waste, single use plastic and not even trying to recycle. These people have kids. I don’t understand.

Women are watching abusive dynamics play out on the national stage and for many it feels very, very familiar to what they’ve experienced regularly— I hope midterms are a referendum

Dementia sucks. After watching an uncle deteriorate from afar, now I’m watching my mother struggle. How long do I have?

Life is not easy every day. Many days you have to make yourself get up and do the things. More often than not you will feel a little better when you do.

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

They complain about a male loneliness epidemic but have they even tried going shirtless and leaping to and fro on clay pots whilst wearing diaphanous trousers? They have not.

‘Crazy’ JD Vance Calls Common Pain Medication ‘Useless’ - The Daily Beast Everyone’s body can react differently to different medications. But sure, call it useless.

America could NEVER have been ready for a President likeTrump

How could you even say this with a straight face?

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

Excessive force. PERIOD! They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor. 📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

My brain is constantly conflicted with itself. On the one hand I think humans are a virus. We are a horrible species for so many reasons. On the other I still see hope and amazing things that we CAN do. Most of us are just complacent.

I just laughed so hard. Did they need to label it so he didn’t forget the name? Or where he was?

Never underestimate what a good admin in an office can get accomplished. We have been living with a regularly slamming door for as long as I’ve been here. It now has a quiet close apparatus and I can never thank her enough. No one even asked her to fix it.

Not to mention the water needed that they don’t have or steal from other states

The difference being one is a scientist the other a braggart lacking scientific knowledge.

Wow

Just saying, it takes a wild imagination and creativity to come up with that. We need to keep funding the arts and sciences. Life would be boring without them.

A few years ago my mother had a serious concussion. She is starting to show signs of dementia now but still remembers the answers to the cognition test questions if you ask her. Just saying.

Friends, the word “radical” comes from the Latin word meaning “root.” To be politically radical does not mean fringe. To be radical is to focus one’s attention on the *roots* of the systems that govern us, such as Capitalism. Fundamental, systemic change requires radical thinking and action. ✨🌲✨

Self explanatory. Have a wonderful week.
