Profile photo is from a trail I built many years ago. I don’t dig trail anymore, just ride it. But I like the name and it’s stuck… Pseudo-anon bc of my job. Posts are my own opinion and have no reflection on my employer blah blah blah

Maybe the hardest and most useful mental power is recognizing how different other people’s beliefs and values are from our own. It’s *very* hard not to understand others as mirrors of ourselves (or cartoonish aliens).

Thanks to Violet Affleck’s public comment, pretty much every media outlet of note in the world is now writing about masks and Long COVID… even the New York Times!

Lenacapavir did so well at preventing HIV infection that it hit the threshold where the only ethical thing to do was stop the randomized trial and immediately offer it to literally every participant. That's huge news. www.npr.org/sections/goa...

I get it now. This is rage bait, specifically targeted at Joe Biden. The rest of us are just collateral damage. The news is trying to kill the president, is what's happening, to usher in the president who cannot fucking wait to kill people who work for the news It all makes sense now!

Gonna keep banging this drum- it was always on the cards after he came out as the most pro labour president of the 21st century, and probably my lifetime. Of course the corporate shill wing of the party want him gone and of course the leftmost part of it recognise how good he's been for their causes

I believe them that they will do this almost immediately upon taking office again. I have lots of questions about what we do on Left(s) about this. Who is working on this now? [I'm sure some groups must be]

The thing I can't stop thinking about is this: I'm 48, and in my adult lifetime there has been one Republican who won the popular vote. But I will probably spend the rest of my life under the authority of a Supreme Court dominated by hard right conservatives. How is that democracy?

Here in Denver, you're now seeing STARs vans everywhere - "Support Team Assisted Response." It's a medic and a social worker, both trained in mental health and addiction support, showing up instead of police. They offer support to homeless folks, people in crisis, and folks in altered states.

"U.S. police departments have gotten smaller—and the violent crime rate is still plummeting. So what is going on?" What's ALWAYS gone on. Cops do not stop crime. They never have. Real "tough on crime" measures are well-funded schools, free daycare, and mental health services. Always have been.

Trump promoted a video of one of his supporters attacking "blowjob liberals" and raging that if Trump is elected, he will "get rid" of liberals, who will be "gone." The video also attacked @JoeNBC as a "scumbag."
