When you don't have to worry about paying bills, you have time to think. That makes you extremely dangerous. The system is designed for us to never reach that level. If you're always in survival mode, you'll never have the time or the energy to maximize your full potential.

From David Todd McCarty: I will say this about Mastodon. More than any other platform, I see ordinary people (not famous) posting original content. Their own thoughts, writing, stories, and art.
It’s not perfect, but it’s better than anything else. Like democracy.

Putin is a coward, just like all fascists. In my opinion, fascism across the world must be toppled by any means necessary.

“Expunging impeachments” is not a thing. This is the equivalent of them passing the “We love Donald Trump even though he’s a racist criminal traitor Act.” It’s an empty gesture that holds no constitutional or legal weight, but merely has symbolic value. His impeachments remain.

This kind of blatant, unchecked corruption is just one reason why the Supreme Court faces a legitimacy crisis of its own creation.
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito took a luxury fishing trip to Alaska with billionaire Paul Singer, whose hedge fund then had repeated business before SCOTUS over the years that followed.
Alito never disclosed the trip or recused himself from Singer's cases. (THREAD)

Hey @FoxNews ! Take your manufactured culture war and all your bigotry and stick them up Murdock's ass! You have caused so much damage to families and friendships. May Karma find each and every one of you.
They didn't need a study to learn this. It worked for FDR, Bobby Kennedy, AOC, Sanders, Warren, Porter, etc. Seriously, candidates just need to stop listening to old guard DNC loyalists. They had their 40 years. Time for the pendulum to swing truly leftward.

As Republicans across the country double down on hate, racism, homophobia, misogyny, and book bans will the billionaires who only want tax cuts be able to rescue the party? Or is it doomed to go the way of the Confederacy?

1. Indicting a lifelong criminal is not “a moment in the death of the rule of law”
2. You’re defending a man you know is guilty based on him being a Republican, who you acquitted twice for the same reason, while simultaneously decrying partisanship over justice
