Tired of late stage capitalism. But also, I like to kayak weekly if the lake isn’t frozen. And I think Elon Musk is pathetic fucken loser. 🙂
Update: Charlie Kirk was an asshole. He made a career out of selling hate.
Always punch up, not down.

Thanks for entertaining my vacation aspirations. Random, I know. But it was a hungover Sunday morning and looking at the news wasn’t going cut it. So I went to my happy place and searched Vieques. Saw your comment, liked your profile description and Jenny Cohn follows U

My primary thought, as southern Republicans drop all pretense and scramble to grab more power, is that if the rot runs deeper than we thought, so must the needed reforms.
I really wonder what the fallout is going to be because the sanitized version of history they’ve sold for a long time is “Jim Crow was a shameful moment in history but we defeated it and came out the other side a better country” and now it’s just… back
it’s the end of a myth in the starkest terms

Breaking: Tennessee Republicans pass new 9-0 gerrymander after SCOTUS destruction of Voting Rights Act eliminating state’s only majority-Black district & last Democratic seat. Splits Memphis, which is 63% Black, into 3 districts to disenfranchise Black voters. Quite literally a return to Jim Crow

Fire flows through gutters meant to carry water to trees in Tehran.
Death flows where life once did.
May God forgive us.

I came to Vieques, PR for a couple hours a few years ago and came back. Playa Caracas (Red Beach) is what I zoomed in on at the end. If you don’t like cold weather. Puerto Rico is a 4 hour flight from PHL. Vieques takes a bit more effort, but worth the trip. Tip well, and be nice.

It shouldn’t take a slur that impacts you personally, or losing your healthcare or SNAP, or being forced to sell your farm, or having to watch a loved one get unjustly detained and deported...to walk away from a madman.
Cruelty isn’t strength.
Reject it.
Always.

Trump is throwing 15 million Americans off health care.
He's doubling premiums for 20 million Americans.
Now, he's refusing to use a $5 billion emergency SNAP fund to keep 16 million kids from going hungry.
But the 1% keep $1 trillion in tax breaks.
Oligarchy in action.

U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis just took the bench in this lawsuit over the use of force against ICE protesters in Chicago.
U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis is set to hold a hearing in this case at 8:30 am CT. Unclear why she called it (it was before the filing below).
DISCLAIMER: The Chicago Newspaper Guild is a plaintiff. I’m a member but not an officer, and I’ve had no involvement in the suit (other than covering it).

Good morning. An overnight court filings reveals discussions took place Wednesday over whether the Trump administration has violated a judge's order addressing the use of force in its Chicago immigration campaign.
"The government believes the TRO has not been violated at all."

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.
The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.
Read that back.
When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Californian Redwood Giant Sequoia - planted in eastern Pennsylvania. It will probably be my single greatest positive contribution to humanity. You can order them online and they’ll ship out in good shape. I’d encourage anyone to try it out. There’s a 150 year old forest growing in England.👍
