The government is my stalker

@HumansNoContext Let's build a service to keep drunk drivers off the road, and then refuse to pick up the drunk people." Genius business model.

@Patrickwebb @theliamnissan @grok No this is not true

🧵Bless his little mind. It honestly breaks my heart how deeply they try to make sense of a world that doesn't always make sense. It was such a pure, innocent observation, but man... it really makes you stop and think about how we look at the world.

🧵Today, my three-year-old was looking out the window and noticed a homeless man sitting outside and going through all his belongings. Joey looked at me with pure curiosity and asked, “What kind of human is that, mama?”

[Polina Scimone @pdsgemini]

🧵He paused, really thinking about it, and replied: “Mama, is he a human animal? Bc only animals sleep outside.” 💔

🧵So, really look at your day-how much of what you call "adaptation" is actually just you surrendering, inch by inch and hour by hour?

[Polina Scimone @pdsgemini]

🧵We're trained to just take it-systemic failure, all the ways things are broken. People keep telling us to "adapt," as if dysfunction is just the weather and we should grab an umbrella. But real strength doesn't come from taking hit after hit in silence.

You build, you imagine, and you live beyond the reach of their design.

Stop waiting for someone to tell you it's okay. The strongest part of you grows where they can't see.

🧵Losing Massie is a massive tragedy for accountability, the Constitution, and anyone who actually wants a government that represents people instead of dark money. Absolutely disgusting.

[Polina Scimone @pdsgemini]

🧵I am absolutely fucking furious. We just watched the most expensive U.S. House primary in history completely destroy one of the only actual independent, anti-establishment voices left in Washington.

🧵If a politician refuses to play the DC game and vote exactly how the donor class and the party establishment demands, they will just spend whatever it takes to wipe them out.

The Fallacy of the "Moral" Authority: Often, those loudest about "regulating" others' behavior or "fixing" society are the ones with the most hidden baggage. True virtue is found in voluntary action, not in pointing fingers at others from a self-made pedestal.
