one thing we need to do as a society is treat all fraud or theft over $100 million or so as a potential capital crime, with the possibility of execution for offenders.

Pizzagate: If you replace the word “hot dog” with “little boy” and “pizza party” with “child sex orgy,” you will see the lengths these elites go to cover up their crimes.
Real elite emails: Send me nude pictures of those 8th graders we abused last weekend post-haste! I am the Ambassador to Turkey.

Politicians who change parties after election should have to win a special election to keep their seat. Let the voters decide.

Interfering with the lawful functioning of the government is a federal crime.
I have always thought McConnell should have been arrested for it.
Same with Johnson not swearing in Grijvalda.
Laws are different for the oligarchs.

We need to change rules that let a single senator or representative block the normal work of government.

My political hot take is that US voters should be able to recall elected representatives via petition - at any time.
No more hiding behind election terms.

This is what I try to always tell people: food banks can do way more with your money than you can, due to bulk buying deals. And they can do way, way more with your money than with the canned goods you didn’t want to eat
spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

This Veterans Day, I’m thinking of the millions of Americans who have served in uniform — and how our government is failing them right now.
Words aren’t enough, we need actions. Fund the VA. Fund mental healthcare. And end endless wars.

@acollierastro.bsky.social you may have been too conservative with your end of Target timeline
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

my ideal response to AI and crypto is a lot closer to an air strike than a bailout
“It’s not that I’m for austerity, it’s just that I’m against bailing out AI, crypto, private assets/university endowments, and I’m fine with canceled Thanksgiving flights and missed paychecks as long as Republicans take the blame for it.”
