Crone. Reader. Trying to err on the side of compassion. Reminder: the most effective way to get what you need is to fight for everyone to get what they need.
Seems like you’re supporting a genocidal Israeli regime @repricklarsen.bsky.social
Less than a week ago I was in this insanely beautiful place in Croatia. The world is wide. Go make impermanent footprints.
Cleanse — seeing these wondrous “little trees” at the Pacific Bonsai Museum.
MAGAs want to make sure women and poor people have less power. I know it’s not much, but voting is virtually the only power ordinary Americans have to impact government. Incidences of voter fraud are vanishingly rare. How many “stolen election” court cases did the wannabe dictator lose?
“Sometimes the point is not to make people believe a lie; it’s to make people fear the liar.” —“Autocracy, Inc.” by Anne Applebaum Written in 2022 before the MAGA Trumpist fascist-forward regime 2.0 — so chilling in its prescience of our current reality.
Please note there is no longer a Republican Party; it’s all MAGA corruption and cruelty now. Punishing the poor is a MAGA value.
The dollars we spend at Amazon and Microsoft, and our support of Google and Meta apps PAY for this destruction. Boycott whenever possible.
Guess which in my state’s Congressional delegation are LGBTQ or women of color by this vote on House Res 719 honoring the legacy of Charlie Kirk, whose bigoted rhetoric is now, apparently, a shining beacon for our country. @repricklarsen.bsky.social - you betrayed your colleagues with this vote.
Heard Bill McKibben last night. No scolding or rationing mentioned. Read his latest book. There is no reason to suggest we give up trying to have a future on a planet that will sustain human life the way it does today. It’s the bare minimum.
It’s astounding that Bill McKibben still has the habit of hope for humanity’s future on the planet we are trying to so hard to break. You won’t be sorry you read his latest book.
PLEASE have a well-developed sense of skepticism about any candidate or politician with a military background. Of course, individuals who served are not all alike. That said, the military system in this country has been suspect for longer than I’ve been alive. Systems impact individual thinking.
Charlie Kirk was a victim of gun violence. His family are survivors of gun violence. It seems this wasn’t the only time the Coldplay frontman has publicly suggested sending love to survivors of gun violence.
One of the reasons @schumer.senate.gov gave for voting with the GOP for the continuing resolution in March was that the courts were a check on Trump. Surely he can see that’s not the case. Here are the Dem Senators who were responsible for surrendering any leverage in March.
The MAGA regime tried to sneakily deport 600 unaccompanied minors to Guatemala in the middle of the night over this holiday weekend. They got stopped by a judge who was woken up at 2:37 AM, but I’m sure they will try something similar soon. Here is what our government says about traveling there…
