Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.
I saw an amazing quote yesterday in an article by Negin Owliaei.
“A civilization that allows these threats to repeat unabated should question whether, somewhere along the way, it was the one that actually died.”
It really does show who gets priority in the pecking order. Then they turn around and snatch the family members of those same fighters.
Clearly all Americans are disposable to this admin.
Agree--a great smile is contagious and puts people in a positive mood. I have a friend like that and she lights up any room she enters with her happy go lucky vibe.
“This is the point in a domestic violence situation where the narcissist kills the entire family.”
To me, the most shocking aspect is the lack of self preservation in the Republican Party that could’ve stopped him at any point in the last 10 years and chose not to.
everything we are seeing now is the consequence of having a political environment in which indifference to the deaths and suffering of other people - even by the state whose supposed responsibility is to safeguard their welfare - is a superpower rather than a political liability
This is completely unbearable. But also like… why are his insane ramblings never summarized like this in the media? We gotta wait for a substack guy to put it together like this?
What do you do when you travel?
I'm so conflicted about my water bottle size choice. Am I supposed to drink 60 ounces per day or do I factor in liquids from my fruits/veggies?
What if I'm only 5ft tall?
I feel like he's bored with life in general. Can't wait until he tries out the new and improved gilded after life.
Giving away my age here but this entire Admin is staffed from the nutballs from the Godlike Productions forum.

Hoopla is great for the movies/TV but especially for the audio books and also the Libby app

No filters now combined with his love for spreading gossip=recipe for ALL disasters.
Journalist have talked for 40 years about how much Trump loves spreading gossip/news. It's his favorite pastime.
This-- it's so frustrating to see society pretend to be perpetually "shocked" at Trump's behavior.
Dude is a meat suit filled with every personality defect known to man. He's incapable of any human decency.
If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.
Favorite news sites?
Yes!!!!!
Exactly- leave it to Trump to hire the most repulsive people ever.
An idiot with clear brain decay of some sort. How much longer can his staff pretend he's ok?
Are they waiting for him to streak naked?
We need to have real discussions about his dementia on top of his personality defect.
When my family member grew worse, we took away the keys, removed dangerous items from the home and never left him unsupervised.
Trump should be removed. The White House isn't a memory care home.
Like groceries!
This is like eating your hurricane snacks 3 days before the storm even makes landfall.
sigh
Not only just stupid, he carries one of the most dangerous personality disorders, which has no cure.
This is not a man in charge. We are being ruled by his defective personality, and that’s even more terrifying than his stupidity.
Reminds me of how Trump in his first term fucked over && abandoned the Kurds after they helped America so much
Trump thinks that if you talk for an hour on the phone you are besties and he can't grasp this betrayal by Putin
"What a stupid question. We are assembled here to talk about my drapes."
I was just chuckling at the chunky Weiner and low and behold little chonker won the whole darn thing!
It’s all so garish
Who told him it looked good?????
They should fight then with the weapons available at that time and Trump should be on the front line
