Writer/pianist. INTP. Old enough to have fucked up, learned my lesson, and then made the same mistake again. I long to read Tramp's obit. Slava Ukraini.
Picked it up at the library this morning. Berlin was under Nazi rule from 1933-1945. "...most people do not do the hard thing...most of the time {M]ost people go along." (liner notes) How many more years of American nazism?
With primaries behind us, it's now time for Dems to focus on winning in Nov. That'll involve something hard: establishment Dems will need to ask what they can learn from progressives, progressives will have to focus on what they can learn from centrists & both'll have to find ways to work together.
Give Them an Inch... open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe... @piperformissouri.bsky.social Analyses by the Ctr for Progressive Reform, an org tracking the progress of Project 2025 ... indicate that about 53% of the domestic administrative policy recommendations ...have been initiated or completed.

One more proof that what many say is true: he has always been a slimy, wretched being.
Remember when we had a real president? Happy Birthday, President Obama.
American racists lost their minds when he was elected (and re-elected). They've never recovered. It could be argued there would be no MAGA and no Orange presidency if Obama had never been elected President.
Happy Birthday President Obama! You reminded the world that true leadership is built on dignity, compassion & respect. Not ego! Your legacy continues to inspire millions! In my view, you are the greatest president in American history! #HappyBirthdayObama #PresidentObama #ViVaHerAlliance #SheShed
Words cannot express the depth of my commitment and readiness for this phase of the #resistance.

They need to hammer down relentlessly on this. They can't become overconfident, like they did with Hillary in 2016.
Answer; protecting the rich and powerful who are terrible people
Woke up earlier than usual. Almost like my subconscious is antifa. "Get up, girl! Today is Election Day!"
David Ellison may think we are stupid, but we know who he is. We know what he has done to CBS. We know what he wants to do to CNN. Support independent media.
This is my 1st exposure to Ben Shapiro. I find both his voice and his ideas annoying so I'm struggling a little bit but I will persevere because I respect Neil deGrasse Tyson and, so far, have found his responses invigorating. (Please ignore the video's caption.) youtu.be/NePhu94hAiA?...

I look at this image. I think of the people in my community for whom it excites their love of God and country. It makes me afraid to leave my home.
WTF

During my break from social media, I'm pondering why scorn for Putin is expressed "Fuck Putin" but scorn for Trump is expressed as both "Fuck Trump" & "Fuck America." I've read too much "Americans are stupid" -- "America is over" -- "g'night, America. Everybody hates you" Need some time off...
substack.com/@jesspiper/n... Keep this story in mind if you find your focus straying as midterms approach. We MUST vote blue in November. Whatever the age or ethnicity of the Democratic candidate, they won't condone this kind of cruelty. And this must end.

I wish someone would ask a journalist who attended the WHCD why they attended. The cartoons and critiques on soc med are fine but they're only opinion. They don't explain what these people were thinking and I'd really like to know.
substack.com/@hunterbiden... Talking and listening. Between people who have only one thing in common with me. Extremely tall order but I believe Hunter's right: finding the road back to a functioning society will require it.

Here is what I believe. We have been separated by people who profit from our separation. That is the business model. Keep us apart and sell us the fight. Here is what that separation does. People s...

Difficult to assess how far we have come in 72 years. Just the fact that "race relations" is still an active, debated, divisive concept says so much.
