What do you think He would make of Trump and his pals?

Yes.

SERIOUS QUESTION: Do you ever just get this feeling that it's all wrong ?? Cement and traffic and malls and smart phones and high heels and fluorescent lights and food in plastic and living stacked on top of each other and debt and guns and kinda just anything that's not a stream and a field and trees and fresh produce and quiet and slow and real community ?? Does it ever just hit you deep in your gut that we've messed it all up and it's wrong ??

Finding out cold plunges aren’t actually that good for women because they spike our cortisol… and all those ‘benefits’ were based on studies done on men. Love that for us..

SERIOUS QUESTION: When did “if you work full-time, you should be able to comfortably afford shelter, food, and the basics” become an extreme leftist belief ??

Humans have survived for thousands of years without AI, and they will survive another thousand years without it. We can live without AI. What we cannot live without is fresh water, farmers, agriculture, bees, trees, and arable land.

Stop using AI. It’s destroying the planet.

There is a kind of poverty that is materially poor but rich in a lot of practical ways.

There are towns in rural Italy, where an old couple lives together in a stone house in the mountains. She has a flower garden, and he sits on the balcony to smoke and read in the morning.

That couple is poor by American standards. They shop at the local markets, eat eggs from their neighbour's chickens. Healthcare is covered by the state. Their church is not fancy. Their clothes are bought from the town market. 10 euro sandals.

But they own their house and did not have to spend 40 years being exploited by a bank paying for it several times with interest. They just bought it outright. They are loved by their neighbours. They can walk around their towns safely because its not packed full of 60IQ savages (for now).

The food they buy is not poisoned. The work the did when they were younger: teachers, nurses, engineers, was just real and normal work. They didn't feel the need to come up with elaborate schemes to become millionaires. Their grandchildren visit them every weekend.

This, too, is wealth.

The goal is not to make everyone Elon Musk. The goal is to make a system where this kind of nonna nonno wealth is achievable for more people.

my mom once told me "accountability will always feel like an attack when you are not ready to acknowledge how your behavior harms others" and that shit is real.

I’ve always thought of myself as an extrovert, but this sounds like heaven.

[Introvert Problems @IntrovertProbss]

Introverts dream life:

- 2 loyal friends
- 1 loyal partner
- pets
- a house near the woods
- a library with a fireplace
- making a living doing what they love
- silence

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Today I introduced legislation to require that the minimum wage be a living wage. $25 an hour is what’s required for a full time worker to pay their bills, and we shouldn’t accept that full time work leaves people living in poverty.

[Donna Needs @dneeds]

Haven’t you been saying this for months?

[Olena Rohoza @OlenaRohoza]

🇺🇸🧐🤔U.S. House Representative Thomas Massie:
“Last night I received a flash drive containing the complete list of files belonging to Jeffrey Epstein. Everything is there: every billionaire, every campaign donor, every single person. Now let me explain why you haven’t heard anything about this in the media. Because they’re all in there. They will do everything to prevent these documents from being made public. Epstein was far more than just a pedophile; he was an intelligence asset. He was part of a blackmail operation used to control billionaires, politicians, and world leaders. If this list ever sees the light of day, the system as we know it will collapse. The public has the right to know the truth, and I am not afraid to share it.”
It looks like a political earthquake may be coming.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Corporate greed is Tim Cook, the billionaire Apple CEO, claiming that hiking prices on Apple products by over $200 is "unavoidable" after it made $112 billion in profits last year & spent $310 billion on stock buybacks.

These price hikes aren't unavoidable. They're unacceptable.

Decolonize your mind. Water was never meant to be sold.

[‏ً @omgsidewalks]

SERIOUS QUESTION: You don’t find it weird that not a single billionaire wants to end world poverty ?? Doesn’t it strike you as bizarre that no one with that kind of wealth wants to be the hero who actually solves the world’s biggest problems when they literally could ?? Isn’t that suspicious ??

[MeidasClips @MeidasClips]

Charlie Angus blasts NovaRed Mining for its hiring of Kristi Noem: We're sending a message to the monsters that they are not getting their way. They don't get to step down from setting up concentration camps and then just cross the border into Canada and sit on boards of directors and take our resources. No, you get the frick back across the border, and you should be dealing with the courts in your country for what you did. We do not want you.

Everyone should, at some time in their life, have to clean out the house of an elderly parent or relative. You will realize that most of your possessions are waste. The things you buy at Walmart or Amazon aren't even worth pennies on the dollar.

[Malala Yousafzai @Malala]

The EU has invited Taliban officials to Brussels to discuss a migration deal — and today I am shaken and deeply disturbed by this.

This is the same Taliban that banned girls from secondary schools and forced them into marriage. The same Taliban that, earlier this month, arrested dozens of women in Herat for how they were dressed. The same Taliban that detains, beats and executes women who dare to speak out or break their rules.

Through its system of gender apartheid, the Taliban have erased women and girls from public life. Europe must not legitimise a regime responsible for one of the worst human rights crises in the world.

Any engagement with the Taliban must begin and end with the rights of Afghan women and girls.

The Reflecting Pool was not vandalized.

It was gross incompetence by the no-bid contractor; a contract awarded by Trump.

There is no conspiracy theory. No vandals.

Just incompetence.

On our dime.

Truth matters.
