The Trump crime family is robbing us blind.

The Marquis de Sade wrote the prequel to the Epstein/Trump playbook. If you have a strong stomach, go check out his "120 Days of Sodom."

We would be one as now we join in singing our hymn of love, to pledge ourselves anew to that high cause of greater understanding of who we are, and what in us is true. We would be one in living for each other to show to all a new community. We would be one in building for tomorrow a nobler world than we have known today. We would be one in searching for that meaning which bends our hearts and points us on our way. As one, we pledge ourselves to greater service, with love and justice, strive to make us free.

That "we" in the song is aspirational. That "we" will always be aspirational. To grow a flower, you must first cultivate the plant.

Subtle cues of psychopathy: intense stare, flat voice, 'um' factor, and detached body language. REMEMBER: These signs can also be symptoms of Autism or anxiety. Intent is the key difference. #Psychopathy #Psychology

This essay contrasts Erich Fromm's necrophilous character, who prefers rigid order and "dead things" over life, with the impulsive, manipulative psychopath defined by emotional shallowness.

Why is 'hypocrite' the wrong word for Peter Thiel? Because a hypocrite forgets to vote. A strategic actor says 'I love democracy' to leave the door unlocked while they dismantle your house. This is the Dantean Architect of Ice.

Abuse is bureaucratized through recruitment cycles and shielded by high-status "audiences". Both figures used intellectual facades, like Transhumanism or "Nature," to justify the right of the strong. 5/

Abuse is systematized through rigid hierarchies and "recruitment engines" that coerce victims into recruiters. High-status audiences provide social capital, turning shared crimes into a shield of impunity. 4/

The graphic illustrates a "Recruitment Engine" where abuse is structured through rigid hierarchies and bureaucratic cycles. It equates Sade's storytellers with modern procurers to show how victims are coerced into recruiters. 3/

This chart compares Sade’s fictional Castle of Silling with Epstein’s Little St. James as isolated "moral vacuums." Both leveraged remoteness and legal autonomy to exert absolute control over their environments. 2/

The analysis compares Jeffrey Epstein’s systemic exploitation to the Marquis de Sade’s "philosopher-criminals." Both use elite power to create an isolated moral vacuum and an architecture of impunity where their will is the only law.🧵

Speaking from the pulpit of a historic Black church, Ossoff leaned into the Black prophetic tradition—where scripture is used to hold secular power to account. By calling his opponents "false prophets," he suggested that their betrayal is not just political, but a spiritual and ethical failure.

Mitigating SARS-CoV-2 transmission is not just an epidemiological concern—it is a sociological necessity.

Preserving the biological integrity of the Default Mode Network is essential for maintaining the cognitive capacity for fairness, equality, and democratic cooperation.🏁

COVID-19 causes neuroinflammation and brain damage, shifting the brain's focus from social executive functions to survival instincts due to a neural energy crisis.

This biological degradation fuels lost empathy, tribalism, and cognitive rigidity.

SARS-CoV-2-induced neuroinflammation disrupts the Default Mode Network, impairing empathy, fairness, and executive function.

As infection load rises, societies shift toward tribalism, aggression, and polarization, driven by reactive survival cognition.🧵

SARS-CoV-2 damages key brain regions involved in empathy, impulse control, and executive function, leading to impaired social cognition and democratic erosion.

Reinfections compound neuroinflammation, fueling tribalism, misinformation, and fear-driven behavior.🧵

COVID-19 smell loss is caused by a subacute wave of mature olfactory neuron disappearance that continues even after the virus is gone.

This damage, coupled with delayed and impaired tissue regeneration, likely explains long-haul smell dysfunction. (2/2)🏁

SARS-CoV-2 triggers rapid smell loss by infecting support cells in the nose, with inflammation persisting even after the virus clears.

Neuron loss peaks around day 11, and delayed, incomplete regeneration may explain long-term smell dysfunction in some COVID-19 patients. (1/2)🧵

The scenes out of Chicago should outrage us all. These federal agents are out of control, committing senseless acts of violence & putting everyone at risk.
 
American citizens are being detained & brutalized.
 
This kind of immigration "enforcement" shouldn't be acceptable to anyone.

This means the risk of long COVID after 2023 infections was very small, and it’s expected to stay that way. Still, RIVM notes it’s not zero — some may develop lingering symptoms, but the chance is much lower than people think.

The FAA is delaying flights at Newark and Denver airports because they haven’t got enough air traffic control. Burbank has zero ATC from 4.30-10pm.

Lots of controllers who aren’t being paid during the government shutdown are calling in sick.
