No commandments, (they don’t work that well)
the difference between needs and wants matters a lot.
Likes are choices. Discretionary by definition.. Overthinking ?under thinking is worse.
our society is keeping demons at bay until we say NO more fear.

I’m getting a really strong Marie Antoinette vibe tonight. ‘Let them eat cake without food stamps ‘ has set my alarm ringing on high alert. 💔

Our humanity is at stake. Let us behave with honor, Justice and mercy. Our constitution must stand. Our American values of Justice and mercy for all must be upheld. Our fellow citizens are not our enemy and anyone who asks us to accept or support that view is a traitor.

Apple and Google caved to the Trump administration and removed ICE-tracking apps from their app stores. People need to be able to communicate freely to keep themselves safe.

Urge Apple and Google to restore these apps: https://act.freepress.net/sign/google-apple-resist-censorship/?source=bluesky

Buttons, Beverages & Bravery! In-Person Gathering for Information, Inspiration & Action! · Mobilize
Unhappy with the state of our country, but not sure what to do about it? Feeling some combination of dread, panic, discouragement, outrage, with bits of hope and determination sometimes sprinkled in?...

substack.com/@hollymberko.... This could be serious! Is it enough? No. Justice Thomas is fully deplorable. Using the ‘lifetime’ seat to ensure partiality - in addition to material rewards-is an abuse of power. It’s not some debate topic. It’s criminal.
