I used to be obsessively engaged with the social media news/opinion cycle until one day I wondered "What is the point of this? It doesn't help anyone." So I made a decision to use the time and energy for stuff like writing letters to my reps instead. Not telling anyone what to do, just works for me.

After Biden's debate performance, the presidential race is unchangedwww.npr.org The poll also found that, at this point, no other mainstream Democrat who has been mentioned as a replacement for the president on the ticket does better than President Biden.

As someone whose plans for the future went from "I should be able to retire at 65" to "I don't know if my body will hold up that long" within the span of the last two years, I urge all of you to remember this.

Trump gets BY FAR the most generous press (relative to performance) of any politician in my lifetime. Just absolutely wild shit.

It's 2016 and Trump has a new tone. It's 2017 and Trump has a new tone. It's 2018 and Trump has a new tone. It's 2020 and Trump has a new tone. It's 2024 and Trump has a new tone.

If you're worried about brevity in your writing, don't. It took Project 2025 nine hundred pages to say fourteen words.

ngl sure is a weird history reversal that the UK chose July 4 of all days to throw off the yolk of their entitled and incompetent government, and over in the US the NYT and supreme court have spent the past week deciding that presidents are kings and voting is bad actually

Since the Inflation Reduction Act signed into law in Aug 22, there have been nearly $17 billion in planned U.S. solar manufacturing investments, 126 new or expanded facilities. These policies shifted reality and expectations fundamentally, helping changing the course of our nation and planet.

Ok that was a fun misdirection

Today is a good day to remind folks that Woody Guthrie was an antifascist comrade. This Land is Your Land was actually a diss song in response to God Bless America by Irving Berlin.

This Land Is Your Land by Woody Guthriemusic.apple.com Listen to This Land Is Your Land by Woody Guthrie on Apple Music. 1945. Duration: 2:19

That is vastly dumber than I believed it could be. «“Why does anyone vote?” I ask myself. The answer cannot be that we believe that by doing so, we will influence the outcome of an election.» I checked but I already canceled my subscription. It’ll expire in May 2025. Good luck everybody

I have been saying since February that major media are 100% devoted to But Her Emails 2, but I didnt imagine it would get this bad. The day after SCOTUS stops the law applying to Trump, we have to scroll thru 4 fucking top stories on “Biden old” & an ad before getting to anything on SCOTUS decision

The idea that these are the top stories when the Supreme Court blew up the constitution yesterday makes me want to scream and cry forever.

I really thought I was cynical enough about the utter corruption of the right-wing bloc on SCOTUS, but it turns out I was still giving them too much respect.

Honestly still in shock that the most crooked American President in history said "I need immunity" and the GOP Supreme Court said "well, it's nowhere in the constitution, but sure, why not? Whats the worst that could happen?"
