Ah, you’re so polite with your sadness.

You wouldn’t want to ruin this for anyone.

sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

It’s about damn time. AOC is a hero. She’s one of the best out there, fighting daily against Trump’s fascist bullshit.

Sometimes I fantasize about disappearing.

Not dying.

Just logging off.

Getting a job no one cares about.

Growing tomatoes.

Writing poems in the margins of a notebook no one reads.

Not as a failure.

But as a kind of freedom.

Best mental reset I’ve learned:

If your mind is loud — Write.

If your mind is empty — Read.

If your mind is racing — Walk.

If your mind is tired — Sleep.

If your mind is sharp — Build.

Most problems are just mismatched energy. Get the inputs right, the rest follows.

I'd be curious to know what folks think about the ideas presented here:

"Democrats can’t kill the filibuster. But they can gut it," by Norman Ornstein, Mar. 2, 2021.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/03/02/manchin-filibuster-never-sinema/

"For a West Virginia Democrat [Joe Manchin], heavy criticism from key members of his own party, up to and including President Biden, might wind up working to Manchin’s advantage. That was true of an earlier apostate, Sen. Richard C. Shelby (Ala.), who’s…

I did read the Wpo article on the Filibuster and have had a day to think about what I want from my government. It is pretty simple. Sometimes a minority is correct. I want the minority to have a way to express themselves. I want is to see a Senate chamber filled with Senators every day who are talking about real issues without dollar signs pasted over their eyes. I want to see if the minority can convince the majority not whether some arcane rules can be manipulated to control my future. …

Patrick Munson wrote: "I want majority rule in the end if that majority is only by one." This is the only sentence I absolutely oppose!!! PLEASE RECONSIDER the serious ramifications majority rule!! That could too easily become an oligarchy if only rich people can afford to run for office.

I'm thinking oligarchy can only be prevented by voter rights and election reform (HR1 S1 and I would go further to say elections are completely state sponsored, no private money) and by everyone exercising those rights. After that. its the majority. Curious to know what your alternative would be?

Even in that fantasy world, the majority could become a mob inthralled by an oligarch. Let's pretend there is no racism and everyone had sufficient access to food, shelter, clean water, and safety from domestic violence. Then the majority would be free enough to think for themselves and make decisions that would use natural resources wisely.

RFK Jr blames diet, lifestyle & vaccines for chronic illness.

Dr Oz says it’s a “patriotic duty” to lead a healthy life & be fit enough to serve in the military.

Neither of them are pushing for Universal Healthcare, basic income, an end to food deserts & inequality, clean water etc.

It’s eugenics.

MAHA: “We’re going to make America healthy again!”

The people: “So we’re getting universal healthcare, UBI, abortion access, clean air, public health campaigns and paid time off?”

MAHA: “Nope”

Us: “So what do we get?”

Them: “Healthy. Or eliminated”

Believe Nazis when they tell you who they are.
