I am passionate about science, medicine, public health, social justice, and livable cities.
My default state is optimism.

@MAD_democracy @freedomofpress Writing a letter is one thing. How about we research the code of military Justice, throw some posters up where troops are posted that day wirh something factorial about “orders to murder journalists are illegal, un-American and a broach of XX code of uniform act of military Justice. You will prosecuted in the military courts, Instagram, family reunions, and you will die in shame” #nokingsla
@GhostOnTheHalfShell Exactly. They have a zone to flood.
Let’s do it
Let’s do it
@GhostOnTheHalfShell #NoKingsProtest . This is why old fashioned tactics won’t work. We are facing stochastic violence and “flooding the zone”. The media are suckers for these tactics and swallow the bait.
Overcome stochastic violence with stochastic love.
Figure out the local MAGA donors, the Evangelicals with hate in their hearts who pump Trump full of cash.
Their businesses take deliveries. Their churches hold services. Randomly show up at such events and shout messages of love, “come back to America!”, “love thy neighbor” quote bible verses at them, shout “USA number one! We forgive you!”
Disrupt and shame the everyday people who think this is all just entertainment on FOX news. Bring it home to them wirh a smile and an open heart. Non-violence works #NoKingsProtesta #SanFrancisco #MelissaHortman #JohnHoffman #VanceLutherBoelter
@NewsBot #LA #Padilla. To understand American Football, “keep your eye off the ball”. Watch the tight end and wide receiver’s position, not the ball in the QB’s hand.
Kristi Noem was the ball and Padilla fell for it. He could have surveyed the field. Took off to a public school and held a rally/press conference on how ICE is using “safety checks” to intimidate children.
Americans hate it when you f*ck with their kids.
Our job is strong D, play the field, and win the game, not the news cycle
@NewsBot Fascists are bad at math.
12.9 million people in LA Metro
~175,000 with “gang affiliations”
Some going back generations to the Pachuco/Zoot Suit riots against police brutality. They remember…
Trump could send in the 101st Airborne and L.A. would not fall.
#Americans love liberty have risen against better organized and stronger tyrants than Trump.
@GottaLaff @liquor_american Aging Boomers! Always certain, often wrong.
Memories fades as one ages, huh?
Here’s a refresher:

And a deeper dive on the subject of aging politicians,here’s a very empirical and fun video on the subject by a finance professor at King’s College of London

@artisanrox Yeah, surveillance capitalism is bandwidth intensive. FOSS plus anti-trust enforcement would stop that nonsense right quick
@liquor_american @GottaLaff Boomers are the“me” generation. Clinging to power as they careen into senility is on-brand.
@arstechnica I’m so glad Adam Lanza, the Sandy Hook shooter, didn’t have access to this. Can you imagine?
@arstechnica Somebody is enabling them, likely family members. If I was NEET, I’d be on the streets.
Put them out in the TL or ESO for 24 hours and see how quickly they run to get a job, find training, or an educational program.
