If you're morally aligned with reality, unnecessary violence FEELS gross Burger ads are disgusting when you hold the story, physically, of the sadism of the beef industry, the razing of the rainforest, the dying of the planet A healthy body/mind takes life personally Grieve what you eat 💲 >💚 = 🔥🌎

The IRA was good policy. And it would have been better -- and had faster & more dramatic results -- if not constrained & blunted by the idiosyncratic assholery of one dimwit egotistical senator. Just because it couldn't stop a global tsunami of discontent doesn't mean it "didn't work."

Haha it's "loser" behavior to not jump into the "destroy Earth faster" race where literally the only qualification is a self-loathing so intense you don't even notice you're a killer committing suicide. #ArmageddonCapitalism 💲 >💚 = 🔥🌎 Wake up kids. What do we think money is MADE of?

The human brain is love vs hunger. We love reality AND we eat reality. 💲 >💚 = 🔥🌎 All stories are about love's heroism vs villainy's greed. #ArmageddonCapitalism is WHY Earth's on fire. Convincing people selfish violence is better than a reality-based upstream harm reduction future is really dumb.

Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.

#ArmageddonCapitalism is cool because you pay selfish, cowardly leaders to help emotionally detached profiteers increase global suffering instead of building reality-based upstream harm reduction systems where work focuses on saving the world, increasing the quality of life for all life. 💲 >💚 = 🔥🌎

Marvelous way to handle judicial nominations! I’m proud to say Senator Schiff is my Senator.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 7h ago

holy shit -- Schiff ties Trump's judicial nominees in knots by asking them who won the 2016 before *before* asking them who won in 2020, which results in them sounding like election deniers about Trump's victories!

Why yes, it DOES suck to be in love with reality all the way from its quasars to its ants WHILE the planet dies from emotionally detached humans driving an unending horror of unnecessary violence but WHY would you waste a whole life with access to a human brain doing ANYTHING else? 💲 >💚 = 🔥🌎

Christina Bohannan lost by 800 votes last time. 800. Meanwhile her dad’s own insurance company canceled him the moment he got sick, and Washington shrugged. This time we close that gap, we flip IA-01, and we do it for every family insurance companies threw away. #BlueWaveIn90Days #Pinks 🌸

The love vs hunger pendulum swings and you against the world becomes us against the world becomes the world against them becomes you against yourself becomes wait... what? THIS is the sh1t they don't want you to know. It's also what THEY don't know... 1/7

Trans people are people, kids. Adam and Eve represent the dual nature of the human brain. Love vs hunger. Understanding vs violence. The Earth is the apple. This is us losing our Eden. Grieve what you eat to align yourself with the global-emotional system. It's peace or pieces. 💲>💚=🔥🌎

A trans couple has been brutalized by a mob, and then the trans woman ended up being arrested afterwards, at a public bathroom in Louisiana. EITM writer S Baum investigates this horrible act of violence in our latest piece. www.erininthemorning.com/p/trans-coup...

Brains are cool because if you control inputs to feel good and only good, you can drift away in a pink bubble of delusion as the planet burns. Brains are love vs hunger. Grieve what you eat, what profits you, to align the body with objective and moral reality and LOVE truth. 💲>💚=🔥🌎 #Enlightenment

Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com · 6h ago

I’m so sick of this shit! Trump has no clue. You can’t fix something you don’t even realize is broken. And Republicans are still carrying Trump’s water. #BlueWaveIn90Days

<picture of morlocks>THESE are boys <pictures of eloi> THESE are girls 💲 >💚 = 🔥🌎 Conservativism is a fear-based resource-hoarding stance desperately eating as much as possible before the climate collapses from the violence of our collective eating. Love saves. Rationalizing harms enstupidifies.

All kids are our kids But we can't save them if we're habitually, thoughtlessly enjoying unnessary, planet-destroying violence against ANY kind of life The global-emotional system is love vs hunger Learn cause and effect as story, grieve what you eat, and let moral taste align with reality 💲>💚=🔥🌎

El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"

Josh Turek wants something better for Iowans — he’s the Dem running to flip the Senate. Just an amazing human being! He wants to lower costs, raise wages, restore Roe,protect workers, SS & Medicare, reproductive healthcare and will fight for farmers and education. More of this 🙏🏼 #BlueWaveIn90Days

It's love vs hunger all the way down If you don't GRIEVE what profits you (what you eat), you CANNOT attune to the global-emotional system. Your emotions are TRYING to shift you into moral alignment with saving the world. LET them. The future depends on GREATER understanding. 💲 >💚 = 🔥🌎 wake up

Liberal Donald J. Trump@notdontrmp.bsky.social · 6h ago

LISTEN UP, ESTABLISHMENT DEMOCRATS! The warning lights have been flashing for YEARS and too many people in Washington covered their eyes, Dems included! The voters are tired of being told, “At least we’re not the other guy.” THAT’S NOT A MESSAGE, THAT’S A SURRENDER!

haha Tucker's gonna be shocked one day to find out reality is real and God really does "hate" greed. God is the impulse of life to preserve itself expressed in systems as fractal patterns across reality. Moral perfection breaks where we eat life to live. Profiting off lies IS killing Evil 💲>💚=🔥🌎

Seth Cotlar@sethcotlar.bsky.social · 6h ago

In Tucker’s recent interview with his favorite Holocaust-denying “historian,” TC is shocked to learn that the Bolsheviks erected a statue to Judas in Moscow. The only problem is, there is no evidence that this ever happened. But who cares about evidence when you have a fascist narrative to push?

Refusal to see people as people, attaching expectations about behavior to appearance or category, rejects relationship with reality. To choose bigotry is to choose stupidity. Immorality - prioritizing hunger for violence ABOVE understanding - shuts brains down so love CAN win #Enlightenment 💲>💚=🔥🌎

SCHIFF: You told my staff you stood by your article in white nationalist website VDARE where you wrote, 'Muslim immigrants & their kids seem prone to terrorism' C: I wrote that article in support of Trump's travel ban S: Do you stand by it? C: I stand by that article S: That's all I need to know

"What're you gonna do? Cry about it?" is peak #ArmageddonCapitalism, breaking emotional alignment with moral reality. Grief is how we repair foundational rifts in the global emotional system. We're reality-loving machines who EAT reality. The planet is DYING of our refusal to cry about it. 💲>💚=🔥🌎

An emotional coward rejects relationship with reality to eat reality instead. It's a beautiful system that allows love to win, but only if enough people decide to wake up out of the comfort with violence installed in us as children by #ArmageddonCapitalism. Grieve eating yourself to love yourself.

ANY brain can find #Enlightenment Someone the justices trust could explain to them the causes and effects of how their decisions will affect their CHILDREN to break their moral misalignment with reality. Conservative brains use love to rationalize evil. They don't realize they serve Gold, not God.

Conventional wisdom holds that Joe Biden’s bet on climate investment was a bust. The data suggest otherwise.

SHOUT OUT to Mike Luckovich: one of the all-time great political cartoonists. 🏆 With corporate media doing such a poor job in these most perilous of times, his work is more vital than ever! THANK YOU @mluckovich.bsky.social!!! 🙏

By evolving the power to externalize understanding, brains become recursive, self-training systems #ArmageddonCapitalism is half-asleep brains serving the profit motive destroying Earth The future is awake to the global-emotional system, where humans LOVE life by grieving what profits them

#Enlightenment is a bodily-aligned relationship with reality as experienced through your infinitely unique mind. There's no easier time to find truth than now, under existential threat. Truth = objective reality + moral reality You're a love machine eating itself, here to save the world 💲 >💚 = 🔥🌎

If you love your children, heal your relationship with your brain in time to save their planet. If your intention is to give them money, the reality of what you're offering is piles and piles of corpses. Money is a death metric. Love and hunger are opposing forces. 💲 >💚 = 🔥🌎 #ArmageddonCapitalism
