It's hard to feel patriotic today when it feels like fascism is arriving as predicted wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross, but I do still have hope that we can avoid the worst from happening. We can still choose to restore democracy instead. But will we? I just don't know.

The worst part of being a woman is you get asked if you’re pregnant anytime you’re bloated, drink, eat, wear anything empire waisted or “loose fitting”…basically just anytime someone wants to comment on your body.

Mass shooting in Highland Park, about 15 minutes from my house.

Fourth of July parade. In shock.

Five people dead, 26 people hospitalized.

Joy turns to horror. Freedom turns to fright. Can’t help but think why

Why do we choose guns over human life

For people who haven’t spent much time in the area, Highland Park and other suburban cities are a completely different world than urban Chicago, it’s like Marin to Oakland/SF or Connecticut to NYC

The greatest strength of America has always been its ability, and willingness, to adapt and improve. To embrace new ideas, new people, and to move always forward from an imperfect past toward a better future. That spirit is at risk today. https://t.co/sUUSM5Grqn

The US has changed rapidly in the nearly 10 years since I was forced to leave Russia. There is no dictator here, not yet, but many little dictatorships of the mind and soul are rising. Zealotry, hatred. Leaders will follow, the law will follow. It can happen here.

we're locked into the 20th century factory mentality that labor is fungible.

it's against the whole promise of permissionless building—to show a weekend project can be worth more than a decade of work.

18/ Instead of a more general prosperity, we’ve now ended up with the greatest wealth and income inequality in the world, as over $50 trillion was transferred over 40 years from the bottom 90% to the top 1%, where it remains to this day.

— Thom Hartmann (@Thom_Hartmann) July 3, 2022

19/ The middle class has gone from over 60% of us to fewer than half of us. It now takes 2 full-time wage earners to sustain the same lifestyle one could in 1980.

— Thom Hartmann (@Thom_Hartmann) July 3, 2022

30/ Instead of happy students, since we cut that 80% government support down to around 20% (with the 80% now covered by student’s tuition), our nation is groaning under a $2 trillion dollar student debt burden, preventing young people from buying homes, starting businesses,
