In this world that we live in, we humans seem to have lost the ability to feel bad that we each may have done something to threaten another person when we take a stand.

We all talk about speaking up, but all we are doing is emotionally injuring another person in the name of β€œbrutal honesty”.

Tried to reorder tea from a French company that we really like, and not only will they no longer ship to the U.S., if you try to enter a U.S. address, it returns an "invalid country" error message.

Which ... yeah.

Starbucks' outrageous CEO-to-worker pay gap might make you spit out your morning coffee. And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving:

$100 billion

Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%:

$100 billion

One is decried as "welfare." One is not.

Why?

Waiting for someone to explain why the announcement of a trade relationship that is worse than the one we had a year ago is received as a big success

I think a lot about the chance we had at the start of COVID to finally become a more compassionate, collectivist nation, and how profoundly we were failed not only by the sociopathic greed of the ruling class but by each other.

It doesn’t mean we won’t get there, but the lost opportunity haunts me.
Remember how just a few years ago during the worst of the pandemic when we saw how the govt can actually do big things and saw that our collective health & well-being are intertwined, and then corporations got mad that they lost a modicum of power and helped fund a backlash of amnesia and fascism?

I think it's totally reasonable for people to not want to live next door to people who own guns and don't keep them security locked up

Ok then, stay quiet about Congestion Pricing, give NYC back their FTA funding for projects like the Hudson River tunnel and get your hands off those projects!

QOTD: If merciless disappearing of law-abiding and tax paying immigrants, and the killing of _suspected_ drug traffickers without any legal case or trial during non-war times is justified, what is the penalty on rapists, pedophiles and sex traffickers who were ACTUALLY convicted?

He needed PM Takaichi to walk beside him and grab his arm for stability like she was escorting an elderly dementia patient around the nursing home.

Thank you, @jessicatarlov.bsky.social for saying what no one else will

β€œThe government has killed 32 people in 7 strikes with no proof they were traffickers. The admiral leading the mission quit. If we had evidence, they’d face a court, not a drone.”

All of this is more of why Universal Basic Income is so important. UBI payments would never stop in this situation. UBI would also boost local economies and create new jobs. It would fuel small businesses and restore Main Street USA.

Doing the moral thing is *also* the best thing for our economy.
