If, as Buddhists believe, we are not really separate, then one’s own mind is not actually a private place. What is in our minds creates and influences the world we all think we occupy.

My friend's boomer dad spent nearly 25 years building a business from the ground up. Started with nothing. Grew it into something worth close to $3 million. Sold it in 2021 to a private equity firm that came in talking about "scaling" and "taking it to the next level." Within a year, they'd cut 30 jobs, raised prices across the board by close to 40%, and quietly dissolved the retirement plan he'd spent two decades building for his employees. Stripped it for parts, extracted what they could, and moved on to the next acquisition. He told my friend it's the single worst decision of his career. Said he genuinely believed they'd protect what he spent his whole life building. Private equity firms don't buy businesses to run them long-term. They buy them to extract value fast and exit. And this exact playbook is running right now in industries you interact with every single week, healthcare, retail, even your kid's daycare.

It's now US Congress against a terror cabal of Musk, Putin and Trump.

Trump’s license will not absolve you of legal & moral accountability. You’re complicit— aiding & abetting sanctions evaders. For profit.

If you deliver diesel you’ll be violating a very explicit statute passed in 2022 forbidding imports of Russian fuel. No President can unilaterally override a statute.

I’m sending a sledgehammer message to shipping companies whose tankers are transporting illegal Russian diesel to our ports. Reverse course while there’s still time.

I would really really really like it if my brain could just shut the fuck up for five minutes. I am so jealous of the people who don't have a running commentary in their heads. I cannot imagine how lovely the *silence* is.

Alabama Democratic Gubernatorial candidate Doug Jones doesn’t have to do anything except sit back & watch his opponent Tommy Tuberville look like an idiot after he claims nobody is more qualified than him. Then he can’t even name the three branches of Government correctly.

Thank you to the Pretti family for their courage. Minnesotans have not forgotten.

Alex Pretti's mother: The federal government went on TV and lied about Alex. They tried to slander Alex to cover up their crime. We want to clear our son's name, and the world to understand who Alex really was. We want our son's killers brought to justice once and for all. We are begging for the Department of Justice to hold the men who murdered our son accountable for what they did.

F*cking crazy that everybody watched federal agents execute Alex Pretti 9 months ago and his family is still out here demanding justice and no one from the government has contacted them.

Alex Pretti's father: Our son was shot and killed by the government, federal immigration agents, on January 24th, 2026. We learned about his death from the media as we saw him being shot repeatedly in the back after helping a woman from his community. This was not a protest that Alex was at. His hands were in the air, and his face was on the ground when he was executed by ICE agents. We know exactly what our eyes saw. No one from the federal government called us on that day. But they did go on TV to tell lies about Alex. No one has called us since. No one has recanted those lies.
