I think we have gotten away from the fundamental mechanisms that make societies work. I have outlined these mechanisms and WHY they are successful in my book, The Human Idea. I believe these ideas are critical to our future, so to start the New Year, I am offering it free for 5 days amzn.to/3XvPBQk

If our country was a living body, it would be so dead. Living bodies tax the rich. The wealthy stomach that consumes ALL food, distributes nearly 100% of that food to every cell so all can survive and contribute to the societal whole. We don't have to be that drastic but it is a model that works.

Basics: In nature, organisms compete to survive In nature, cells cooperate to survive as large organisms When cooperating, cells are not permitted to harm other cells In successful human societies, laws should not allow people to harm others Don't vote for anyone who creates laws that harm others.

Governing by ego

Unbelievable . . . as in. . . I don't believe you?

It is just shocking how utterly focused trump is on his own ego rather than the good of the people. He is a walking violation of the oath of office

So, with the whole new proclamation deal, does this mean trump finally likes immigrants?

HERO

From her lifetime of pioneering work with chimpanzees to her tireless advocacy for the environment... Jane Goodall was a one-of-a-kind treasure to the world! I was lucky enough to be able to thank her personally when our paths crossed not long ago. Thanks again, Ms. Goodall. You will be missed. ♥️

One of the bittersweet things about moving: my husband had to paint over my cherished quote wall. It is requiring more coats than he realized: "The quote wall is not going out easy. Good ideas just won’t go away!" Made my day!

Do you think heaven is refusing to take these jokers?

Frankly, Trump is impossible to intellectualize for anyone. That's what happens when you face a really evil moron.

Religion is often used as a cover to persuade some people to do evil things and call them good.

Wrong. The construction worker now has half a cookie.

Agreed. We probably need to start with the idea that morality is a human construct and not fixed in any way.

Donald J Trump: Poster boy of corruption

Sadly, I think the corporate media is beyond redemption at this point.

This also applies to activism. 1% beats 0%

This would handicap The RepubliKKKans and Chump from Buying Elections,that is,If We Have Any More......

Every country with Universal Healthcare has a longer life expectancy than the US by 6+ years. If you want to make America healthy again, pass Medicare For All.

Dear @stephencolbert.bsky.social Please make a Youtube comedy show. I will subscribe!

They voted for a con man who lies about everything, which means they have no idea what he will do today or tomorrow. The only thing you know for certain is it will be in his best interest, he will lie about it, make it all about himself, and may change his mind the next day.

And if you. can't love them, at least do not hurt them.

You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant. Pass it on!

The Supreme Court should preserve the status quo until legal questions are resolved and explain the disposition of cases for the public. They are abdicating basic principles of equity and failing to fulfill their institutional role. They aren’t pretending to try. There isn’t even the veneer of law.

Got damn

Hmm, if we required every gun owner to have gun insurance, I wonder if insurers would refuse to insure MAGA folks.

Vote with your pocketbook and your (non)presence.

Protesting in a red state…

Wow! France gifted her to us, and now they’ve captured what so many Americans are feeling on Independence Day. The values the Statue of Liberty stood for are no more. 📌 A stunning mural of the Statue of Liberty covering her face was unveiled in Roubaix, France, on July 3, 2025.

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home. Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

On this Independence Day, I am sad to see what this administration has done to America's values and promise and ideals. Shame on trump and the Republican cowards who have bowed to his evil vision of a country the founders did their best to prevent from existing in the world. Shame.

Call me crazy, but my idea of making America great involves a lot fewer kidnappings and concentration camps.

The world must be set free.

Want to know what evil looks like? Go no further than Florida's Justice Department.

Listen to @warren.senate.gov! If you want to keep your healthcare, #KillTheBill! 🚫

I hate that this is what our government is doing to people.

Not pipsqueaks, a*holes.

A Big Beautiful Failure.

I don't cook much, but even I understand this analogy!

They are sending roving bands of masked thugs with the stated goal of kidnapping 20 million brown people to transport them to any country they can pay to take them. All this has been cleared by The Stolen Court. This is not deportation. This is ethnic cleansing.
