Just a polite reminder: Economy ≠ stock markets. Economies are complex, inclusive and based on multiple metrics. Stock markets are controlled by the ultra wealthy who have successfully convinced a vast number of poorer people to invest in theoretical things that may or may not pay out.

I’ve watched a couple of ‘Ghost Hunters’ episodes. Zak gave me a great idea from one of his constant references. Instead of saying ‘American,’ when referencing a white dude who was born in this country or to American parent(s) abroad, we should shift our language to ‘white immigrant Americans.’

This, US, this is how to make sure that everyone is treated fairly and justly in a country of laws! Wealth is not an impediment to holding people to account. Unless you obey in advance.

Anyone else watching ‘The Con,’ narrated by Whoopi Goldberg? [streaming on Hulu] From the Fyre Festival’ debacle and ‘The Wine Con,’ it is hard to dismiss how some in the US were primed to vote for the current insurrectionist an conman in chief now in the WH. Cults always seem to start with a con.

Watching ‘The Disappearance of Shere Hite’ on this Mother’s Day morning. The male chauvinism, male entitlement and male-centric worldview has gained a new foothold, promoted, by the insurrectionist sitting in our WH, his regime and his collaborators. We won’t go back. Illegitimi non carborundum.

A comedian launched a fake DHS tip line to report undocumented immigrants

Comedian Ben Palmer specializes in pranks. One of his more recent ideas for a prank was to set up a fake tip line for people to call in and report undocumented immigrants. He got hundreds of calls.

Went back a bit to find this … and, it is still true today. And, like any bully, he is an abuser. We, as a country, are in an abusive relationship. Find a way to resist, in little ways, every day. Find groups to amplify your voice. Hit the fascists where is hurts … their pocketbooks. 1/5

Just a reminder: the guy currently in the WH is a bully. As a bully, he is a coward and hides his fear behind yelling and throwing tantrums. Point and laugh at him. Best thing to do with bullies. Point and laugh.
