I would say, "We've had a good run, US." But really, it's only been real good for cis, het, white Christian men. So maybe this new era will be good for the rest of us now, whatever it looks like. Enjoy the Holliday. I love you all. ❤️

I'm taking a break from social media and all news for a while. I need to work on my mental health and find some healthy & practical ways to strategize for the future that is coming.

How is everyone's mental health? It's natural to feel angry & fearful, especially w/ the *huge* changes coming to our country. Remember to stay grounded, meditate daily, and do things that make you happy (while making your plans for surviving the future). Sending love and positivity to everyone!

In light of the recent evidence of Biden's serious mental decline, his suggesting his uncle was eaten by cannibals makes sense.

Why do we celebrate entrepreneurs for chasing passive income but condemn the idea of universal basic passive income as making people lazy? Both strategies aim for financial security without daily work. Let's normalize a financial floor for everyone, not just the investment-savvy with enough capital.

“It’s like, ‘You can’t include that, that will set him off,’ or ‘Put that in, he likes that,’” said 1 senior administration official. “It’s a Rorschach test, not a briefing. …he is not a pleasant person to be around when he’s being briefed. It’s very difficult, & people are scared shitless of him.”

We all know the Republicans are evil, but it's an old man's ego & the establishment, corporate Democrats love of corruption that took us out. They can't stop fellating their donors long enough to care about the voters or democrocy.

But because Democrats are so weak and unwilling to do anything major, voting for Biden's ghost will only delay the inevitable. They are so concerned with protecting corruption that they'll give up our democracy for it.

Biden's loss of swing states because of his and Bibi's genocide & now starting to lose blue states, it seems the only hope to slow down the inevitable loss of our democracy (since Biden refuses to leave the race) is that enough people in swing states don't mind voting for a guy who is almost dead.

Dumb mfs call America a democracy. They blame one party or the other for what the rich do. And this case is not just about Trump. The Supreme Court says any president now can be a mafia boss for the mafia of government.

Even back in 2016, Trump was a symbol of the pervasive rot in the US. Now in 2024, he exemplifies it even more. He's what you end up with when you tear the mask of civility off this fundamentally broken, corrupt, racist system that's been enabled and advanced by both capitalist parties.

If liberals legitimately believe that Republicans are fascists that will engage in a campaign of genocide against the vulnerable, they have a responsibility to arm themselves and start building grassroots networks of support to protect our communities.

It's pretty clear that Biden is going to lose the election at this point, but it's still astonishing to see his lead in solidly blue states like New Jersey, New Mexico, Minnesota, and Maine fall to 1-2 points. There's half a dozen new battleground states because of how badly he's doing.

“No one is above the law!!” - they say, unless you’re a Supreme Court justice then then the president is above the law which shows you that the law is full of shit and is just there to uphold the corruption of the rich.

Yeah. We've been voting and voting and voting. In fact, the more we vote, the more we lose LGBTQ+ rights, women's rights, environmental rights, and everything that makes a democrocy. So that clearly doesn't work. The only people they give us to vote for are WEAK and will not do what we need.

What gets me about the vote scolds is that WE ALREADY VOTED FOR BIDEN! He is currently the president and he just said he won't do anything about SCOTUS. What will re-electing him accomplish? Buy time until the next "most important election of our lifetime?"

Having a totally corrupted SCOTUS and weak establishment dems means the time we need far surpasses our lifetimes. The trifecta of a hyper-corrupted SCOTUS, an authoritarian with a cult following running for election, and our only defense being a mentally incapacitated old man is the perfect storm.

Even worse, it's a dangerous distraction. We're not billionaires with infinite time and resources. We can't do everything. We're all exploited workers that desperately need change. We've been taking losses for decades and we can't keep following the failed playbook that got us to this point.

I honestly don't understand how anyone that's lived for the last 20+ years can possibly believe that voting matters. We've voted for fundamental change multiple times, and those elected have only made things worse. That's by design. Doubling down on electoralism is a sunk cost fallacy at this point.

Right? They had many chances to fight but chose not to. Establishment Dems & their maddening choices to accept whatever Republicans do w/ strong words as their only pushback have led to the end of our democracy. Now that Biden has immunity, he still won't use it. Wimps. All of them!

However, the establishment makes the radical decision to run a *clearly* mentally incapacitated candidate who has zero chance of winning & 60% of Dem voters agree! The rolls have been revirsed. Who are the "scary radicals" determined to end democracy now? Not the "Bernie Bros."

Biden's team says Biden is at his best from 10-4. Weird how admitting Biden is sun downing is supposed to be a compliment. But, by all means, please run Biden even though 72% of Americans think Biden is mentally incapacitated. Perfect way to make sure Trump wins.

There are two elements to the immunity decision that are particularly extreme in a way that many will miss: (1) motive is irrelevant and (2) immune acts are not just excluded from prosecution, they’re excluded from evidence. /1
