@MariGO2thepolls Travel is broadening because it shows you there are other frames of reference and other ways to structure a life. It breaks you out of the illusion of being the center of the universe. No wonder so many American men are afraid of it.
@MariGO2thepolls Have you ever been in a car with someone and, amazingly, everyone else is an asshole? It's the same dopamine hit they get from watching right wing media. "Look at this fucking idiot." But put them in a situation where their moral certainty is challenged and watch them crumble.
A reminder that the DA originally charged 2 Black teenagers with the 1st degree murder of Fanta Bility (carrying a sentence of life in prison or the death penalty) even though he knew these cops were the ones who shot & killed her.
The cops were sentenced to probation on Friday.
The killing of Jordan Neely is the fault of NYC policy as much as the chokehold vigilante.
No effort to train or educate public on how to act/be supportive to those in crisis. No scaled mental health or social service outreach. Untold billions uselessly spent on cops and jails.
@AshleyGWinter I have two tips: 1) Double diaper with a larger size diaper over the normal one. Altitude does funny things to baby bowels. 2) A square box of Kleenex can provide hours of entertainment if you stuff the tissues back in over and over. And, actually, 3) Screens. Screens forever.
