This Train I Ride
"Life is uncomfortable; If you can accept that, you'not going to be happy. It's almost like you don'accept...reality. It's like you don't accept life."
A beautiful and wonderful movie
The film follows the life-journeys of two women living on the fringe in a rapidly changing country. A quest for identity, freedom and finding one's place Travelling the great American outdoors on huge freight trains is an adventure that has been practiced for ages by some people, and has even spawned a culture dedicated to it: hobo culture. Arno Bitschy takes us on the trail of Ivy, Karen and Christina, who have chosen this way of life, some in search of meaning, others out of eternal rebellion or a compelling need for freedom. Interested in marginal characters, the director has often filmed on this side of the Atlantic, always to tell human stories. Crossing the country with these endearing women and incredible landscapes, we return here to one of the United States' flagship ideas: freedom. Not libertarian freedom, the law of the strongest. The freedom to travel, to be alone, to trust each other, to make your own choices, without men, against society, to be free!
A quotation from James Madison
Learned Institutions ought to be favorite objects with every free people. They throw that light over the public mind which is the best security against crafty & dangerous encroachments on the public liberty.
James Madison (1751-1836) American statesman, political theorist, US President (1809-17)
Letter (1822-08-04) to William T. Barry

@torparskytt@mastodon.nu@formuchdeliberation ”Freedom, in a political context, means freedom from government coercion. It does not mean freedom from the landlord, or freedom from the employer, or freedom from the laws of nature which do not provide men with automatic prosperity. It means freedom from the coercive power of the state—and nothing else.”

@stylo_the_unicorn@kafeneio.socialWhat a beautiful Sunday morning. Blue sky. Birds. Sun.
All lazy white Germans still sleeping while the world is being prepared for them.
The black toilet Lady, the Turkish cleaning Lady, the Brazilian waitress, Romanian construction site workers and polish Caregivers for the old.
Now a German feels free, loves #liberty and tomorrow he goes back to his bullshit job that gives him 80.000 bugs a year.
#Grok has more independence and #liberty than #Republicans selling their #vote in #Wisconsin. Republicans are for sale. Grok wishes a mf would

20 police armed with tazers etc to arrest 6 women who hired a meeting room in Westminster Meeting House London, (where I worshipped for many years.)
Statement by Quakers highlights the increasing UK restrictions on right to protest and rights of juries to fairly judge such actions.
Quakers have a long history of non violent protest against injustice

To be clear, I'm not libertarian myself but I think this particular argument may resonate with them in particular.

The Rachel Maddow Show 2025 EPI.47 Top officials in the Trump administration discussed a military operation in a group chat on a commercially available messaging platform with a random member of the media added to the chat without anyone bothering to look at who else was in the chat. Senator Mark Warner, top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, shares his reaction to the news with Rachel Maddow.
Profits over people = bootlicker/capitalist
People over profits = decency/democracy
The peril of the #DualState lies precisely in this capacity for targeted suppression. [Many]…people can ignore the construction of the #PrerogativeState simply because it does not touch their lives. They can turn away while dissidents & scapegoats lose their political #liberty. But once the prerogative state is built, as Fraenkel’s writing & experience suggest, it can swallow anyone.
