You still have your family.
You still have your friends.
You still have your work.
You still have your passions.
You still have your diversions.
You still have the capacity to feel joy, and the means of doing so.
You still have your mind, which is and will always be yours alone.
And you still have the ability, no matter how difficult it may seem, to choose to carry on with your life, and spend the one and only existence you will get for all eternity in as loving, fulfilling, and authentic a way as you possibly can.
Billionaires and dictators have essentially bought the U.S. There won’t be a fair election there again. The Supreme Court turned the presidency into a dictatorship months ago, and now the U.S. is on the verge of becoming a global security threat. This is a dark, dark day. ���
@velodus Trump brought out the worst in humanity and gave it a safe place to thrive, not just in the US, but all over the west. We are all inexorably changed.
TO SPLIT THE WORLD IN TWO: A CLOSING ARGUMENT
This election isn’t just about the future of the United States, it will determine the future of the world. It is a linchpin in a strategy to split the world into two warring factions; the side that wins will own the future.
The vision offered by Putin and Xi (with Musk, Thiel, Vance, Trump, and RFK Jr as their surrogates) is a world where men trump women, rape trumps consent, Ukraine is Russia, Taiwan is China, and the Dollar is trash. In this world, Bitcoin, DogeCoin, and gold matter more than your 401(k). A vote for Musk is a vote for xenophobia, and a world where science only matters when it serves your interests. It is a vision for the end of America, because henceforth, it shall have a king.
Their vision is one where climate concerns will be worked out by the free market and, magically, through “abundance” — of both fossil fuels and CO2. They acknowledge will have many problems, certainly, but they will be solved by entrepreneurs, philosopher kings, and their neo-feudal army of non-unionized wage slaves, all “competing” in the free market for the benefit of humanity. And our reward, they say, will be to colonize Mars — a truly uninhabitable hellscape that will likely never support human life.
Electing Harris will not stop this attack. But it will slow it down and allow some time to mount a response to this threat. Putin, Xi and a growing list of autocratic allies are joining forces to render democracy extinct. They believe it doesn’t work, they believe our populations are too infantile to make decisions, and furthermore they insist not only that our democracies don’t work, but that they will demonstrate it by capturing them and disabling them. If democracies are to survive globally, we must offer more than just an extension of the status quo: we must offer a vision of a democratic future that is more compelling to the majority of the world. By many measures, we have failed, so far, to meet that challenge.
This election is existential for women. This is a civilizational conflict between a patriarchal, hierarchical worldview, where women are held in utter contempt, and one in which everyone has equal voice. Rape is on the ballot: Trump at the top, and RFK Jr laughably in charge of “women’s health.” Musk, the serial philanderer and eugenicist, will tear apart our federal protections and rights limb by limb. Women must vote in overwhelming, staggering, and unprecedented numbers — as must the men who share their values.
Should Musk et al somehow win his bid for King of America, our focus must shift immediately to disabling them by all Constitutional and institutional means. The destruction they will bring is nearly inconceivable, and they will probably be stopped when more people realize what they intend. But it’s difficult to know what will be saved from the resulting fire.
I have studied this conflict for a decade. This is where we are. I have issued prescient warnings again and again about what’s coming, and have been right, again and again. And I’m right about this. This attack will not stop with this election, but it is by far their biggest prize so far. They must not win it, and we must not fail to address the threat they still pose even if they lose. Onward!
The Canadian economy is actually pretty rock solid. So remind me: Why are you voting for Poilievre and the @CPC_HQ? White supremacy? Rage farming? Trudeau? Huh?

Clocks go back an hour tonight.
We turn the hands, we shift the day,
To steal more light, we give away.
Yet in that pause, a second’s grace,
We find a slower, softer pace.
@niahdx Yes! 2018 was my really hard bottom and I haven’t been the same since. My walls are higher and thicker; I am less emotionally resilient when they crack. Not sure if that level of compassion or energy can ever replenish. Boundaries are forced on me; even if I wanted to, I cannot.
To my American followers, remember:
Voting is not like choosing a romantic partner (not settling for less than “the one”). It’s like taking a bus. If no bus goes exactly to your destination, you don’t just give up and stay home, you take the one that gets you closest.
POWERFUL... 🤌🏼
🟥 Mark Carney: “When politicians (like Pierre Poilievre) claim our great democracies are broken, it's not because they want to FIX them. It's because they want a license to DEMOLISH...
It's a model that has been USED time and time again: Create an external constraint to STARVE the beast of government, in a misguided view that SLASHING will lead to growing...
...When Poilievre shouts 'axe the tax!', he's really whispering, 'can the plan' and leaving us with NOTHING.
Demolition is NOT a plan.” 👏���👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
