The current government, with MAGA's all-powerful, god-appointed leader and his loyal military and his hand-picked Supreme Court and his GOP-majority House and his GOP-majority Senate, can be shut down by Democrats? Interesting.

The Trump regime... making the unthinkable thinkable again.

The truth is this is a moment where many different possibilities for the future are opening, and they are opening at an extremely high cost. Solidarity to everyone who is trying to build a path to a better world for us all right now, amidst every loss and grief we are carrying. Solidarity forever.

The enemy is blindness, ignorance and delusion, not evil. Evil is the result, not the cause.

Wholeheartedly agree with this woman!!!!! 1000% youtu.be/_oyMf6YZTto?...

Love is a physical need. In addition to the fact that love inspires us to provide food to the hungry and shelter to the homeless, feeling loved is vital to bodily health. When the far right attacks empathy and threatens to jail people for acts of kindness, they're coming after a basic life need.

To face yourself in this moment is the greatest challenge of life. And the sweetest.

When I really stop and think about it, the worst thing anyone ever said to me was, "You're too nice!" Said in an angry way. This was someone I gave my lunch to when she forgot hers and could barely walk (low blood sugar). Thanks for making kindness feel like a personality flaw.

The idea of the rapture is the predictable climax of "us vs. them" thinking among people who want to be members in the ultimate club.

Cool tip for fighting fascism: Teach your kids how research works! Here's a starter script: Bro, randomized controlled trials are low-key bussin. Like, instead of just guessing what works, they spin the wheel, split peeps into squads, and boom, you get the real tea, no cap!

I prepared a long speech in my head to convince my spouse to cancel our Disney subscription, and he'd already done it! Woo-hoo!

We should start a conspiracy theory that the existence of Flat Earthers is being faked by... what's the opposite of NASA? The DMV? youtube.com/shorts/YV8u_...

The world is too often unbearably heartbreaking. In lieu of all that, here is my cat, Maeby. I love her.

It's going to be so weird when soldiers finally come home with PTSD from their long deployment in... Chicago.

Ordered some collagen peptides because I have resting "pit of despair" face.

Beautiful! 😍

The right knows they are the pro-gun, pro-violence party, and they have the nerve to lecture the left about peace and harmony. On the right: Peace is code for submission. Harmony is code for obedience.

A woman who develops chronic illness and can't walk to the kitchen isn't going to survive because "she was the love she was looking for all along."

On the Path to NowHere is one of my favorite Bsky accounts. These posts have made my days better through insightful perspective shifts and invitations to inner silence. Worth a follow!

I wonder whether media networks or Hollywood will slowly move overseas.

Fellow #StarTrek fans: the writers told us what to look for. We are seeing it now.

My first thought.

MAGA is circulating one video clip of Charlie Kirk speaking about gay people without hatred, and they're holding that up as proof that he was actually a great man, and "liberals lie about everything." We really need to teach statistics and research methods every year, from 1st through 12th grade.

Independence is not strength. Dependence is not weakness.

"We will absolutely target you, go after you, if you are targeting anyone with hate speech." -- Pam Bondi referring to... the left Their irony detector is broken.

Trump is America's abusive spouse.

The far right hands out matches then blames the ensuing fires on people with extinguishers.

Brian Kilmeade: "Just kill them." www.mississippifreepress.org/homeless-man...

I grew up in Oklahoma in the "buckle of the Bible Belt," and it was painfully obvious to me 40 yrs ago that there were two types of Christians: (1) followers of Jesus who put his teachings on love into practice and (2) power hungry people hiding abuse behind a Bible. Guess who was loudest.

Finally put my finger on what bothers me about viewing neurodivergence as genetic and immutable. When Francis Galton first argued that genes were the primary cause of individual differences, it launched the nature vs nurture debate and fed into the eugenics movement. tinyurl.com/sfgem

Word(s) of the day: "Stochastic Terrorism" Let's all learn this because WOW, this nails it! youtube.com/shorts/dapSl...

When I was growing up, "victim mentality" was highly criticized but "abuser mentality" was not even a thing.

I used to think medical research might someday help me, but then I realized I'd never be able to afford whatever new treatment was developed. I hope they put more $$ into long COVID and ME... and then figure out how ordinary people whose lives were destroyed by illness can actually receive care.

Amen!

Violence against the homeless. Well, that didn't take long.

Please someone make this video that's been playing in my head: scenes from the news and today's social media side by side with basically identical scenes from Idiocracy

Whoa.

We may think that we don’t panic very often, but when we look closely at our present-moment experience of our sensations we can see that there is a constant panic about their inevitability and their everchanging nature. Ironically there is absolutely no need to panic, my love.

I wonder if dogs in heaven are surprised to learn that we never actually wanted the ball. Nope, I just took it and tossed it halfway across the yard to give you a moment of pure joy. This is Aniara guarding her ball from me this morning.

Fox News has so mastered the art of rage bait that before long, some young man will probably act on this.

THIS!!! Yes. If someone ever shares with you that they're thinking of ending their life, don't treat it like a bomb threat. They're reaching out. The urge for connection is a healing instinct.
