I don’t think we talk nearly enough about the fact that corporations like Amazon, don’t pay a single cent to maintain the roads they use, the transportation system they use, the courts they use, they pay nothing for the infrastructure that is absolutely critical to their business.
WE Pay for

Got a terrible haircut yesterday. I dreamed they shaved my head last night. Woke up hoping all was a bad dream but it wasn’t. I don’t want a bob. It’s hair - it will grow back in time. But dammit I miss my hair! Just the cherry on top of all this mess (gestures to world) going on right now.
Today kinda sucked but tomorrow will suck a lot less.
If we had national high speed rail most of us could be in DC by 5pm eastern
Frog and Toad sat on the porch, feeling sad together.
How can we stand idly by while our nation fumbles under this weight of unchecked evil? This is the time to speak out, to demand accountability, and to refuse to let these atrocities go unanswered. Our silence is a betrayal. Our courage must rise now more than ever.
If there has ever been a moment that demands justice, it’s now. I’m utterly furious that so many in power choose to remain silent in the face of such horrors. Atrocities so heinous that they stand as the darkest chapter yet.
This is the most horrifying, psychotic, grotesque message Trump has ever posted—openly threatening to commit genocide. This is beyond reckless. It’s dangerous, dehumanizing, and utterly unfit for any leader.
ACTION ALERT⚠️ Dept. of Interior is trying to rush through a revocation of Biden’s public law protecting lands around Chaco Canyon from new oil/gas leases. They’ve given only 7 day for public comment, during Easter/Passover. Thread 🧵 below on why you should care, but here’s a link to comment! 🏺
This is Colby. He is movin, but more importantly, he is groovin. 13/10 (TT: ty2344583)
I was allowed to register for an upper-level class without taking foundational courses (which, oddly enough, aren't required). I was assured it "wouldn't be that difficult." Well, here late in the semester, friends and neighbors, I have some news...it most certainly is "that difficult!" #academicsky
That’s an excellent question.
This!
I’d like to be in shock about the reality of what men do with power but Hands Clean by Alanis Morissette was my favorite song when I was fifteen.
A drunk former fox news host refused to promote two Black and two female officers because a convicted felon and 5x draft dodger does not want to stand next to a Black woman at military events.
Think about that for a second.
Whew, that’s enough of a crash out for today. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk, Bluesky! 🙃
Also, why is it always on the child to repair and fix the relationship? It’s always “What has the child done?” and never “What happened that caused the child to make that decision?” because I guarantee that decision wasn’t made lightly.
The absolute wildest thing I have ever heard anyone say when they find out I cut contact with a parent (believe me, I have heard some things) is that I will “have to answer for the things I’ve done.” I will GLADLY give an answer as to why I did this, but will that parent ever own up to the abuse?
An immigration judge has ordered the removal of Liam Consejo Ramos, a Minnesota toddler who was detained by ICE.
The politics of citizenship might seem like the detail that distinguishes Liam’s story from the stories of our kids. But his innocence, like the innocence of all kids, is unimpeachable.
If the ID I use to drive and fly, it’s not enough to vote, that’s voter suppression and a poll tax

I'd like to live in a country where kindness is a political virtue and politicians talk about and center people at a disadvantage and who can't stand up for themselves
I don't want a politics thats all about beating up our enemies
