The real lootin LA starts when private equity buys entire devastated neighborhoods.

It's almost impossible to believe he exists. It's as if we took everything that was bad about America, scraped it up off the floor, wrapped it all up in an old hot dog skin, and then taught it to make noises with its face.

Cassini’s last image just before it plunged into Saturn’s atmosphere. One for the books!

‘A few days ago, a Tik Tok creator posted a video where she'd been out and about in public with a T-shirt on that read "Harris 2024" and a man in her little Red town pointed out and said "You are brave wearing that shirt" And she said "Yea?! How does that make you feel knowing that the party you align with is so dangerous that you think I'm brave for wearing this shirt?".’

Let that sink in.

Getting to the good part.

“Today’s reformers should learn from their forebears, focusing their efforts not only on promoting political candidates, but also on building a grassroots, issues-based movement upon which they and future leaders will be able to draw in order to make lasting change.”

As if there wasn't enough evidence already...

"Federal investigators learned of the withdrawal, which has not been previously reported, early in 2019.

This:

“I understand why you're supporting a man whose morals and actions align perfectly with your own. I understand that being like him is something that excites you and makes you feel less insignificant in a world you can't understand. I also understand It's much easier to let someone else think for you and decide where you stand on important issues rather than trying to educate yourself and form your own opinions and thoughts.”

I hadn’t been paying attention.

“The 61-year old climate scientist was part of the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change team that would go on to share a Nobel Peace Prize with former U.S. Vice President Al Gore in 2007. Now, Sheinbaum — who has grandparents who escaped the Holocaust — will hold the most powerful office in the country.”

Pretty much.

This is the thing that constantly comes back to me. What humanity could accomplish if we weren’t always fighting each other. What a tragedy that we let a few greedy, power hungry psychopaths keep us from it.
