Thinking about all the inequality, persecution, racism, bigotry and such going on in the world today - just remember that we are nothing without other people.

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

Emily St John Mandel in w/e Guardian, "Biggest challenge western democracy faces is the collapse of consensual reality. When you get to a situation where half the electorate disagrees on basic reality – for example, who won an election, or is Covid real? I don’t know how you come back from that."

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The sixth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the seventh richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

A lot of truth in this new cartoon from Nova Scotia's Bruce MacKinnon. BTW, King Dumbass is claiming (as usual, with no evidence) that Dolly Parton was a "huge fan" of him. Yeah, right.
