Addiction robs us of the power to choose.
I was actively choosing suicide. I knew it. I felt hopeless and alone.
Today, in recovery, I have a choice every day, and that is the greatest gift anyone can ask for.
You are not alone. You are never alone. We do recover.
I spent the last few months talking to people across the political spectrum, and to people who want nothing to do with politics at all. Here is what I learned.
We are not a divided country. We are a country being divided, on purpose, by an American oligarchy that profits from the fight. Theyโve captured our government, denied our healthcare, looted our treasury, and saddled us with crippling debt.
I believe in a New New Deal. Healthcare as a human right. The right of every family to a decent home, and an end to endless wars.
And a dividend paid to every American from the AI economy, because these machines were built on the whole of human inheritance. That inheritance belongs to all of us, and not just to the handful of men playing God with our very existence.
And none of it happens if we just move on. Donald Trump, his family, and his administration are robbing us blind, not just of our money, but of our faith in one another, and they have to answer for it. Truth and reconciliation, not revenge. Then we break the system that let them do it.
The question is not whether we will lose our democracy. The question is whether we will fight to take back what has already been stolen.
I learned in recovery that you canโt heal what you wonโt name. Neither can a country.
WTF timeline are we on. Someone called me the MAGA whisperer and Iโll gladly take the title. Left, right, D or R we all want the same things. Weโre being divided on purpose by the Epstein Elite Oligarch class because as long as weโre at each otherโs throats, they get fat and rich off of our misery. The second we figure out we agree on more than we disagree, theyโre done. Love your neighbor. Be yourself. Radical honesty. No fucks given, no fucks taken. Everything else is just noise. (But still fuck Jake โBrick Tamlandโ Tapper on any time line)
