  • This 100%. I care about politics. I deeply care about what’s happening with our country.

    But I’ve had to pare down the places where I see it. I’ve stopped watching Last Week Tonight because it makes me feel so powerless on what I have control over. I absolutely love the show but I just…can’t anymore.

    I’m acting locally, participating in whatever protests I can, calling and emailing my reps as often as I can.

    But man…the right’s “flood the zone” works effectively and I can’t just keep burning out.









  • You know what the difference is between a million dollars and a billion dollars?

    A billion dollars.

    Those who make $200k have more in common with people in poverty than people who are billionaires.

    I make good money but I am not under any illusion that a bad accident or a medical issue will wipe out my savings in a heartbeat. Just because I can afford to go on vacation doesn’t mean that I don’t understand what it means to be “working class”.

    I am working class and their ally. All you’re doing is intentionally creating a wedge between “well off” people and the poor instead of coalescing together to attack the actual capital class.
