The occupation makes us all less safe in DC and across the country. Itās destroying lives, ripping families apart, and increasing violence. The Mayorās choice to praise it is a massive betrayal, especially as neighbors desperately try to protect each other in the absence of government support.

āBanning books is just another form of bullying. Itās all about fear and an assumption of power. The key is to address the fear and deny the power.ā ā James Howe
"It sets a bad precedent if the president can just take 10 percent of a company by threatening the CEO" in some theoretical nightmare future a leader who isn't an insane zealot operating a fourth grade reading level could do something similar, but for the actual greater good!

Remember, Tolkien didn't start working on "The Hobbit" until he was 41 years old. It started as tales for his children that took over 4 years to complete, and he finally published it at the age of 45. It is never too late to start working on something that truly calls to you. Embrace your passion.

There will be nothing surprising, or shocking, to be learned when all those books come out on the convicted felon when he is gone. All those 'insiders', who didn't have the guts to reveal damaging information in real time, won't get one cent from me.
The cognitive dissonance required to be anti-abortion (āsavingā babies) and anti-vaccine, risking childrenās lives and health through exposure to vaccine-preventable diseases is staggering.

I wrote this essay about Pete's thinking about politics, morality, and faith. I'm not religious at all, but hearing Pete talk about politics in an almost spiritual way is very moving to me. I find it inspiring during a dark time. Just wanted to share: open.substack.com/pub/nerdypur... #Buttigieg
Renewable Energy is 8x cheaper than Fossil Fuel, increased Energy costs increase the price of everything. When your prices are too high you cannot export anything. It is the lack of Net Zero that is destroying the UK economy.

I sincerely think we have to accept the fact that the midterms are not going to be clean, fair and safe. This administration cannot lose and they are desperate. If they figured out how to hack the machines via a cable in 2024, they will do it again. We need to stop it, by exposing it.

There's something weird happening where The Discourse about the tariffs is about how Trump is trying to return us to 1950's and 1960's, the manufacturing heyday of America, but he's not! He' been very very explicit about this. He wants to return us to the 1890's. That's a different project!
I thought about this, this morning, but just didn't want to say it out loud. There's some reason they don't care to return him
