The sledgehammer approach is madness. America is not a company you can strip for parts.

@georgetakei Although sadly they are demonstrably doing exactly that. Also stripping capability so private ventures can / must fill the gaps.

I thought there was consensus that #Nazis, & their concentration campus, are bad & they should be forced back into the hole from which they emerged. #Alzheimer's is bad & it requires $$ & research so we don't have to watch those we love disappear. I also thought measles didn't belong in the + column, that banning books was for losers, & the Constitution meant something. We've gone through the looking glass but it's not nearly as fun or interesting as Lewis Carroll said.

@georgetakei I have less and less patience for Democrats saying โof course thereโs waste, butโฆโ or โthere are ways to reduce waste, butโฆโ
Fuck that. There is no waste until someone shows the waste BEFORE making cuts. Agreeing in the abstract that there is waste in advance legitimizes what is being done. Everyone stops listening at โbutโ and just hears Democrats agreeing.

@georgetakei The fascists and oligarchs disagree. The only way to make your argument is to attach it to a bullet. Nazis are not going to change their minds by appealing to a logical argument.

@georgetakei we are talking about a man, a rich man, who told his brother when he was asking for money to pay for medical care for his severely disabled child, that he should let the child die. WTF does anyone think he would care for strangers.
BTW, Trump not Musk.

The goal isnโt to save lives. The goal is to give billionaires a bigger share of the financial wealth of the country. If people have to die to do it, oh well.

@georgetakei well, its a pity to say it, but perhaps it needs some going to die for the citizens to stand up and wipe out this government...

A ๐ด๐ถ๐๐ถ (hiti) is an ancient Newah urban water feature: a stepped, sunken courtyard with waterspouts and a central pool. These are fed through a remarkable network of pipes, reservoirs, and irrigation systems drawing water from mountain springs dozens of kilometres away. Every day, hundreds of people from the neighbourhood come to draw water, bathe, and exchange news. They are a unique and precious feature of Newa urban architecture through which neighbourhoods are created.
