"If you prosecute, I will incite violence" is not a defense.

@cassandra17lina My mask has gained a new super power. In addition to protecting me from Covid, flu and whatever, it also helps identify idiots from a distance so they can be avoided from the dirty looks I get from some when wearing one. It has become a regular feature when out of the house and I don't see that changing.
Maybe I should add a cape & people can exclaim "who is that masked man" 😂

@VelvetDuchess besides which, "this bank hinkyness" is directly related to Trump's deregulation of banks, & GQTea Congress' refusal to regulate cryptocurrency

Good morning, CoSo!

Sometimes life is great. Sometimes it sucks. Sometimes it just is whatever it is.

Whatever way things are going, it's good to have people to talk to and share about whatever's going on in your life.

Sometimes the need isn’t for more resilience and self-care, but for more resources and community care.

^^^ I don’t see anything saying it’s headed toward Watsonville… only that there have been two incidents with the past fifteen hours.

They’re texting us, telling us to be careful. Lol. They’re In Gilroy and are the ones who need to be careful. I don’t think anyone has tornado shelter

So weird.

It is worth noting that First Republic Bank (the next bank facing failure) was also a crypto friendly bank (not to the levels of Signature Bank but seemingly equal to SVB).

There is a pattern emerging. If another crypto exchange ends up collapsing in the coming weeks as a result of the bank collapses it wouldn’t be at all surprising. Just as the common theme/underlying cause of 2008 was the housing market, in 2023 it seems to be crypto. Worth remembering when it comes to bailouts & regulations

He understood that, in a democratic & civilized society, "freedom" is not limited to political rights. "Freedom" must mean economic rights as well. People are not "free" when they have to work 60 hours a week to put food on the table. People are not "free" when they cannot afford to go to the doctor when they are ill. People are not "free" when they are thrown out on the street because their company moved to China. People are not "free" when they are forced to live their senior years in poverty

In a profoundly important speech which has gotten far too little attention, Roosevelt stipulated that every American has the fundamental right to:
1. A job.
2. An adequate wage and decent living.
3. A decent home.
4. Medical care.
5. Economic protection during sickness, accident, old age, or unemployment.
6. A good education.

These are not radical ideas –– they are supported by the overwhelming majority of Americans. Working together we can and we must achieve economic, social, racial, political, and environmental justice for all.
