America cannot live without an enemy. Without one, it would have to face itself. So it hunts for monsters in Venezuela, Cuba, Iran, Russia, China. Anywhere but home. Because if the war machine stops for even a moment, The silence might reveal the truth: The crisis is not

the western world wouldn’t have to host so many refugees if they stopped destabilizing their countries and exploiting their resources

There’s no reason for a government to protect pedophiles unless it’s run by pedophiles. There’s no reason to redact the Epstein documents unless they incriminate the people in charge. This isn’t complicated. Their lack of transparency tells us all we need to know.

The homeless you don’t see: Cars. Motels paid week to week. Couches. Storage units. Abandoned RVs. Most of them have jobs. Some have kids. We deserve better.

History will see that he manufactured chaos because he had nothing good to offer. No vision. No ideas. Just tearing down what others built, and blamed others for his shortcomings. Generations will be taught he was nothing but a pathetic con-man, a criminal and a failure.

America doesn’t hate socialism. It hates shared socialism. It practices socialism every time a crisis hits. Just not for you. Taxpayer money rescues banks. Taxpayer money bails out corporations. Taxpayer money props up billionaires who privatize the profit and socialize the

White man sexually exploits black boy for yrs til he reaches age of legal maturity & defends himself. The state, which had allowed his sexual exploitation for years, suddenly wakes up & starts prosecuting him, the victim. That’s the carceral system for you. It harms the powerless

Capitalism’s ideal citizen is exhausted, isolated, overworked, and convinced it’s all their fault. Once the system installs that archetype, no coercion is needed. People enforce their own cage.

A world where everyone is safe, fed, housed, and free is not impossible. It’s just inconvenient to the privileged in positions of power.

I think every member of Congress should be paid the federal minimum wage

A trillion dollars is so obscene our minds can’t even grasp it. Even if you spent $1 million/day, it would take you almost 3,000 years to burn through $1 trillion. No one “earns” that. No one “works” for that. And no one, and I mean no one, needs that.

Imagine if “work” meant contribution to wellbeing, not extraction. We could measure by restored ecosystems, healthy communities, educated minds, not quarterly returns.
