If you don't want a world where your worth is measured by how cheaply you can be replaced, then stop waiting for permission to imagine something different. substack.com/profile/3311...

I know no one is coming to save us; I'm not waiting for permission to defend what matters. I know something comes after this part, and we can't wait until it's "over" to name the future we want. We start building it now, in how we show up, what we refuse to accept, and who we refuse to abandon.

I love my country, so I speak up when it falls short, not because I want it to fail, but because I believe it can do better. The people telling you to leave - they love this country in the way you "love" something you've given up on. differsense.substack.com/p/if-you-don...

Trump pardoned Jason Galanis, a convicted fraudster that had been ordered to pay more than $80 million in restitution to those he defrauded. The pardon wiped out the restitution obligation. If you're falling for the fraud excuse, you're not watching the patterns.

Creeped out by the Greenland fixation and the strength, force and power rhetoric? You are not alone. This is the same logic abusive partners use to justify control. The same insistence that their strength entitles them to override your boundaries (borders). Pay attention to the pattern.

The rot is real. We'll scrutinize every molecule in a vaccine that's saving lives, but won't ask questions about AI that's being weaponized against real people in real time - all in the pursuit of profit. The "poison" is in the infrastructure. futurism.com/future-socie...

Welcome to your 2025 performance review billionaires. You have not met expectations, failed to achieve stated objectives, and been dicks at every possible opportunity. www.linkedin.com/posts/shayne...

Knowing where the landmines are doesn't get you across the field. Understanding what's broken doesn't fix it. Seeing your misalignment doesn't realign it. Insight shows you the path. Action moves you down it. differsense.substack.com/p/get-ur-shi...

2026 WISH LIST 🙏 I wish for tech that: doesn’t make me feel like I signed up for the next season of Big Brother; doesn’t creepily stalk me waiting for the thinnest of excuses to butt into my business with no invitation; and doesn't think I'm just kidding when I disable it.

You can accept the frame you unconsciously chose, built on your past experience, current mood, and hidden assumptions. Accept someone else’s frame which may not be what you need, fit your actual situation, or serve you at all. Or you can take control of the process. open.substack.com/pub/differse...

Your brain will do everything it can to avoid the discomfort. Handwriting won't let you outrun yourself; it won’t let you stay ahead of the uncomfortable realization, the hard question, the consequence you don't want to face. differsense.substack.com/p/get-ur-shi...

Most people feel discomfort and immediately try to resolve it, rationalize it, or distract themselves from it. The tension is trying to show you something. It’s pointing directly at the assumption that’s keeping you trapped. differsense.substack.com/p/get-your-s...

Before you can shift anything – a derailed project, a belief that's holding you hostage, a decision you've been avoiding for months – you need to do the hard, unsexy work of stating what the hell you're actually dealing with. open.substack.com/pub/differse...

There's a particular species of grievance that blooms in the hothouse of comfort. If the apology you're being "freed from" was never actually demanded by anyone, you're cultivating weeds in an empty garden, tending to threats that exist only in the soil of your imagination. differsense.substack.com

This isn't about grammar. It's about how we construct reality through language. You need to ask: Who's missing from this sentence? Whose hand is being hidden? Because when the subject disappears, so does the accountability. open.substack.com/pub/differse...

Actions only speak louder than words if you’re actually paying attention to the actions to see if they match. Otherwise, the words win by default because they’re easier, shinier, and designed so you don't have to think too hard (or read past the headlines). open.substack.com/pub/citizenb...

I cannot change the past but I can recognize that we have made terrible choices as a country and we have failed the most vulnerable of our citizens (often on purpose). I cannot undo what was done, but I can damn sure refuse to look away while it happens again. substack.com/@shaynej/not...

We've been conditioned to police tone over substance, to value the appearance of decorum over actual competence or character. We've let the people with power redefine "professionalism" to protect themselves while weaponizing it against everyone else. open.substack.com/pub/differse...

Do you remember when you stopped asking why? Somewhere between childhood and adulting, we traded curiosity for compliance and learned to accept answers at face value. We learned to stop asking questions. And that's how we end up solving the wrong problems. open.substack.com/pub/differse...

What if American workers decided the only ones entitled to be "too big to fail" are us – the ones whose labor built your platforms, whose attention became your product, whose data trained your models, & whose spending made you untouchable? substack.com/@shaynej/not... #AI #Accountability #Leadership

All the arguments for why #billionaires deserve their extreme wealth--"trickle-down economics," "job creators," "incentive for inventions," "they worked harder"--have turned out to be wild fabrications. #taxtherich #FuckOligarchy #StopCorruption #TruthWarriors #theresistance #AntiFascist #teamluigi

When millions of workers tell you they’re scared, maybe your data is missing something important. Orrrrrrr... we can keep publishing articles that amount to “the data says you’re fine, so stop complaining.” Do better @theeconomistnews.bsky.social. substack.com/profile/3311...

Can we stop pretending everything is fine? I'm not a robot. You're not a robot. We're humans living through some genuinely terrible sh*t. So if you ask me how I'm doing, you might actually get an answer. A real one. You don't have to fix it for me. You don't have to agree. But I'm done with "fine".

Incredibly honored to be named by the Center for Effective Lawmaking as the most effective House Democrat for advancing environment & public lands policy! Last year, 8 of my bills were signed into law — the 2nd most in the U.S. House — & I’ll keep delivering results for Western & Northern Colorado.

Fear is contagious, but so is courage. I remain steadfast in my oath to the Constitution and am grateful to those across the nation who stand with us. Don't give up the ship.

Every 74 seconds, someone in the U.S. commits a s3xual assault. Every nine minutes, that perpetrator targets a child. As much as I support the release of the files and want justice for every one of the survivors, we cannot forget that this is also bigger than Epstein. substack.com/profile/3311...

Where you choose to spend your money does make a difference. Companies pay attention when they start losing money. Helpful tip - if you want to keep your phone #, set up your new provider before canceling. actionnetwork.org/forms/i-canc... @stopmoneypipeline.bsky.social

The crumbs the Dems received amounted to ~ we'll stop illegally firing people. The firings were ILLEGAL! And now you think they're just gonna stop doing illegal things cause they pinky swore?

So the New York Times wants to know if clickbait will make them relevant again… and also if women ruined the workplace. Let me save you an hour-long podcast: No. But since we're asking questions, here are some better ones: differsense.substack.com/p/the-audaci...

Right now, people across the country are stepping up in beautiful, practical ways. Here's how YOU can show up. substack.com/profile/3311...

#Elections have consequences... and we've seen a lot of consequences lately. Local races often have immediate impact on your community. Low turnout means a small group of voters makes decisions for everyone else. Make your voice count! #vote #trump #electionday #resist #voting #us #uspolitics

Dante, buddy, I think you missed a circle of hell for the people who simultaneously create suffering and prevent anyone else from alleviating it. civileats.com/2025/11/03/u... #us #uspol #uspolitics #politics #food #hunger #SNAP #Trump #shutdown #gopshutdown #republicanshutdown

This is very true. If/when The Felon croaks, evil Criminal Johnson & the rest of the crew will continue the destruction. They're a disease that must be 100% eradicated.

They are still robbing us!

Since 1975, $79 TRILLION (that’s right, I said TRILLION) has been redistributed from the bottom 90% to the top 1%. The trick? Making you think this was normal. The treat? The look on their faces when we take it back. #Halloween #TrickOrTreat #WeThePeople #uspolitics #indivisible #followthemoney

26% increase in insurance premiums, and I'm just one person - the increase would be devastating if I had to cover other members of my family. They're holding SNAP and WIC hostage so they can increase your insurance premiums so they can line their pockets.

Hey Mikey. I've got questions. Why are your salaries considered essential when you're not working? Which part of being a "co-equal branch" suggests you get to clock out when its hard? Is the plan to resolve this via telepathy, or are you banking on thoughts and prayers doing the legislative work?

Real negotiation creates value. Bad faith negotiation just redistributes it, usually into one party’s pocket. KNOW THE DIFFERENCE. A negotiation without good faith isn’t a negotiation at all, it’s just a slower, more elaborate mugging. Same result, just with more meetings and a veneer of civility.

I'm not a fan of "The Resistance". Resistance is a reaction. It exists within a frame of a legitimate govt. It's not enough. The people are what powers everything - our money, our labor, our data. Billionaires & politicians are irrelevant without us. Quit resisting. Start asserting your power.

When you break systems, there are widespread consequences. This is what my papa would call "cutting your nose off to spite your face". It's what I call unacceptable cruelty, bad business, and sh*tty governance.
