I’m less prone to give any credit because almost none of these include reflections or discussions of how these institutions failure to commit to the promises of 2020 are helping project 2025

We need more, but credit where due: both The Nation (June 2024 issue) and Boston Review have run a breakdown of the Project 2025 “Mandate for Leadership” document. Media Matters, too. Lots of good work going on digesting this. www.bostonreview.net/articles/ins... www.mediamatters.org/project-2025

When I was a teenager, I organized a protest with a couple of friends after Michael Griffith was killed in Howard Beach. Almost no one showed up. I think we had 6 people [including us 3 organizers]. I was crushed. I cried to my dad & he asked: "what did you say to the three people who joined you?"

Wearing a mask is actually such a minor small thing you can do to make the world a better place. You can choose to protect yourself & others in your proximity from a dangerous disease that is ravaging the world. To me, if you can't even manage that much, you're a huge knucklehead.

The world sucks and things are bad but hey, you know what you can do right now to make things easier on yourself and others? Wear a face mask. We have to be alive to fight back.

NYT: Joe should quit, he stutters Philly Inquirer: Trump is a fucking criminal what the fuck are we doing here

God Bless Paul Davies and the @PhillyInquirer: "The only person who should withdraw from the race is Trump...There was only one person at the debate who does not deserve to be running for president. The sooner Trump exits the stage, the better off the country will be."

To serve his country, Donald Trump should leave the race | Editorial Boardwww.inquirer.com Biden had a horrible night Thursday. But the debate about the debate is misplaced. The only person who should withdraw from the race is Trump.

I really feel like we could all benefit from talking about what, specifically, we are solving for before we start throwing out solutions that may or may not apply to the situation at hand, let alone be efficient and effective.

Today and yesterday I had two meetings with people who let me know emphatically that something I did/wrote really mattered to them and made a difference. Tell the people who have made a difference in your life that the impact they had. Because it’ll make their day/week/month/year.

So what if you were planning a community baby shower for 50 low income pregnant people, and some asshole said he’d supply the food but waked away with $500 bucks instead? Can you help us make up the loss and the emergency groceries? We need $1000 now to make it right. givebutter.com/WAWCclinic

Eldercare, something I spent a LOT of time on in the last 13 years as an only child & the subject no one wants to talk about. Until it hits them. So many friends reaching out to me now b/c they saw what I went thru, and they're only now realizing how hard it is. 🎁 shorturl.at/npCyS 1/

When the old punk told me about the importance of saving for retirement, I replied that it’s pointless everything will have collapsed long before I can retire, and instead of sadly laughing the old punk said: in the dark times it is a radical act to still believe in a future.

It's really weird to see these posts about Linda keep popping up and I still don't know quite how to talk about her. But she called me a couple months ago and made me promise I'd tell the truth when everyone started saying nice things. 1/?
