Spot on.

Identity > data: People respond emotionally before rationally when their group identity feels under siege. Right-wing media constantly amplifies anger, making outrage addictive self-validating. Cognitive dissonance: Admitting policies they supported may hurt them economically feels like betrayal

History warns us: democracies rarely die in a single night they erode while citizens scroll, argue, and forget. Hungary, Turkey, Weimar Germany all fell when propaganda replaced civics, and outrage replaced truth. Memory fades, and power fills the silence. carnegieendowment.org/research/202...

💥 The Bubble’s Whisper: Buffett’s Cash Is Screaming What Wall Street Ignores record options mania, inflated valuations, mega-caps propping the indexes, and debt walls coming due. The market isn’t invincible its late cycle. The burst is coming. Buffett’s cash pile says it louder than anyone.

Politico bullshit. The Treasury isn’t “minting a Trump dollar.” They’re considering designs for the 250th anniversary coin series that’s it. No approval. No production. But the MAGA spin machine and lazy headlines make it sound official. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Rep. Richard Hudson (NC-9) is in full MAGA panic mode over the shutdown his party caused, firing off blame-shift emails pretending it’s the Senate’s fault. Classic move start the fire, blame someone else. I’m not even in his district and still got the propaganda.

Fun Fact: Weight training isn’t rocket science it’s picking up heavy things and putting them back down until you’re stronger. No secret formula, no magic shortcut. Just discipline, patience, and showing up. Like life: simple rules, hard work, and consistency turn struggle into strength.

Democrats need to say it clearly and often: Trump is a convicted felon who shut down investigations and now fires people out of retribution, not governance. He isn’t focused on America — he’s obsessed with revenge. Call it what it is: a man consumed by grievance, not fit to lead. Get help, Donald.

THIS PROVES THEY ARE BLATANTLY RACIST. Mocking a Black leader with racist imagery isn’t “humor” it’s hate. The VP, press secretary defending it instead of condemning it shows moral decay. They’re not leading; they’re normalizing racism at the highest levels of power. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Reporters should stop letting them spin it call it what it is. The VP and press secretary’s defense of that racist meme is shameful. They owe the public honesty, not gaslighting. Their refusal to condemn it shows weakness and moral failure, plain and simple. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Trump’s “defend Qatar” order is political theater, not policy. He can’t unilaterally bind the U.S. to defend another nation that requires Congress or a treaty. It’s bluster dressed as authority, media should say instead of pretending this is real foreign policy. www.defensenews.com/global/midea...

🚨 BREAKING: Russia takes over the UN Security Council presidency this month because apparently nothing says “world peace” like putting the fox in charge of the henhouse. Stay tuned as the arsonist leads a seminar on fire safety.

Trump’s White House isn’t an administration it’s the modern Wolf’s Lair: loyalty oaths, propaganda loops, and a leader sealed off from reality, convinced the world’s against him.

Spooktober begins!

Not the Department of War LMAO 🤣 SMH 🤦‍♀️ The media’s calling it the “Department of War” now, as if the mad king’s fantasies are official policy. No law changed, no DoD reorg just reporters too timid to say, “That’s not real.” They nod along and call it news.

‘Hegseth’s “no more beardos” order is classic blowhard theater every branch has its own grooming regs, plus medical and religious exemptions protected Good luck enforcing that across 1.3 million troops without lawsuits, morale hits, commanders quietly ignoring it. www.stripes.com/theaters/us/...

🇷🇺 Yuriy Gorodnichenko to Kyiv Post (Jason Smart, 2025): “Russia’s economy is on life support the Central Bank keeps rates near 17 %, inflation is over 8 %, and the budget deficit is ballooning. Moscow is emptying its sovereign fund Without petrodollars, the system would crash within a year.

Within the last 36 hours, mass shootings have hit Alexandria, Southport, Raleigh, Grand Blanc, New Orleans, and Eagle Pass dozens shot, children among the dead. How many more bodies have to pile up before Republican leaders stop cashing NRA blood money and start saving lives?

Ty Cobb Trump’s own ex-White House lawyer just torched him on Face the Nation: calling his actions “wholly unconstitutional and authoritarian.” Cobb said Trump’s trying to rewrite history help forget he’s a felon who incited an insurrection. #TruthHurts www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Nigel Max Edge, the Southport North Carolina shooting suspect, filed lawsuits and online posts with extreme conspiracy claims accusing “white supremacist LGBTQ pedophile rings” of targeting him. His rhetoric closely echoed Pizzagate and QAnon themes www.wect.com/2025/09/28/a...

Trump could end up deposed in the Comey case like Reagan was in the 1990 Poindexter Iran-Contra trial, it’s a ticking bomb. Reagan survived 6 hours of calm, scripted answers. Trump’s chaos, ego, and contradictions would implode on camera. Strategy becomes self-destruction. 💣 #Trump #Comey

Shithead billionaire of the week Larry Ellison: The database billionaire and his son, David, are Trump boys . They could soon control an empire that includes CBS, Paramount, Warner, CNN a piece TikTok. That level of media and tech control would give them incredible leverage over information

First day of classes at @jhuartssciences.bsky.social. A glorious day to learn #QuantumMechanics! I'm teaching two courses - QM for physics majors, and Philosophy of Cosmology for a general audience. I'm going to try to maintain a thread saying what happens in each class, let's see how I do.

Let it burn. They built this fire now they can choke on the smoke. Every layoff, every delayed check, every airport line is on them. Trump wanted control, now he owns the collapse. Democrats shouldn’t save him from his own sabotage. They’ll buckle when the heat hits. 🔥 fire 🔥 flames 🔥 fire 🔥

The fascists printed their roadmap Project 2025 and Esther in plain sight. Democrats yawned. Schumer and Jeffries manage decline while the far right plots control. We don’t need caretakers we need warriors before democracy is a museum exhibit.

Trump’s Comey crusade will implode under its own weight an unqualified prosecutor, political motives, and sloppy filings make it unsustainable. The case will collapse or be dropped, exposing the vendetta and deepening public doubt in Trump’s control over justice.

Trump’s OMB memo isn’t “budget discipline” it’s political extortion. Threatening mass firings to force Congress to cave is reckless abuse of power. Federal workers are not bargaining chips. Stop MAGA brinkmanship before it destroys our government. www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

Gym Jordan should face indictment he defies a subpoena just like Bannon and Navarro did. Meanwhile, James Comey was investigated and cleared; he never lied under oath. The difference? Comey followed the law, Jordan is daring it. Accountability shouldn’t be optional.

Bondo bitch and cross eyed soon to be fired FBI should take notice there time will come www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

Tylenol: the official sponsor of Christmas dinner with MAGA relatives. 🍽️🤕

A spray-painted bronze statue titled “Best Friends Forever” showing Trump and Jeffrey Epstein holding hands was placed on the National Mall in front of the U.S. Capitol early Tuesday.

In the DC area, ABC did NOT air Jimmy Kimmel Live last night. Here are the commercials that aired on ABC in Kimmel's time slot. I won't be spending a single dollar on any of these products/services: Wendy's Sketchers Kia Jeep Cirque du Soliel Safestep Walk In Tubs AMP Sales & Marketing Solutions

Pragmatic Optimists RI State Senator Tiara Mack and Rachel Cohen discuss Trump’s plan to designate anyone on the left as a member of “Antifa”, though it not an organization that exists or has any known members.

Historian Heather Cox Richardson nails it: you can’t say it’s dry if it’s raining. Trump’s underwater promises economy, jobs, inflation. GOP morphing Reagan→Gingrich→Tea Party→MAGA w/o adding voters. 🔗 Substack: heathercoxrichardson.substack.com 🔗 YouTube: www.youtube.com/@HeatherCoxR...

Biden poured billions into Ukraine arms, sanctions, aid making Washington Kyiv’s lifeline. Trump talks tough, says Ukraine can win, but delivers little President Trump suggested “Ukraine can win back all the territory it has lost to Russia, in an extraordinary shift” WSJ

So the choice is: a president convicted of fraud telling everyone “Don’t take Tylenol!” or Drexel scientist Brian Lee, backed by massive research showing it’s safe in pregnancy. Tough call! Always fun to pick viral conspiracy over actual science drexel.edu/news/archive...

common knowledge used to mean we all knew the rules truth mattered, losers conceded, institutions held. Trump’s genius? Teach us the new rules: lies are fine, elections optional, chaos is patriotic. Congrats America, the script just got dumbed down.

You broke it, you bragged about it, and now you hide behind Citizens United while dark money owns every vote. Congress, FEC fuck you. History will carve your names into the wall of shame.

Hey Congress, hey FEC thanks for nothing. Citizens United blew the doors off campaign finance, and you left the loopholes wide open. Dark money rules, voters lose. You broke it, you own it. #FollowTheMoney

Elections aren’t about votes they’re about who can dump the most secret cash. Citizens United opened the floodgates, Congress shrugs, and the FEC is comatose. This isn’t democracy, it’s an auction.

Sure, democracy’s working great… if you’re a billionaire or a foreign shell company. The rest of us? Just props in America’s most expensive reality show: Who Wants to Buy a Politician? #DarkMoney

American democracy is rigged for dark money. Foreign cash, shell donors, loopholes the size of Texas Congress bickers, the FEC naps. Citizens United turned elections into an auction. Voters? Just spectators. #FollowTheMoney

I used to believe in American democracy. Not anymore. After watching what Trump has done stacking power, rewarding cronies, suing and silencing critics, acting with the swagger of a mob boss I don’t trust the system to be fair. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/h...

Hmmm Some people are saying Trump’s obsession with autism isn’t about science it’s about ego. He brags about his “good genes,” so if Barron’s on the spectrum, it can’t be genetics. He blames vaccines, Tylenol, the environment—anything but DNA. Always somebody else’s fault. Always a scapegoat.

Its a shakedown finance.yahoo.com/news/how-tru...

Wake up, America: Trump’s Georgia plot was no misunderstanding it was a mafia-style bid to steal power. Now the GOP courts cripple prosecutions by sidelining DA Willis, delaying justice. If we shrug, corruption wins. Democracy survives only if we see it and fight back. apnews.com/article/7be5...

Tom Homan accepted a bag with $50,000 in cash in an undercover F.B.I. investigation before he was named Trump’s border czar. The case was later shut down by Trump administration officials.

The speed of light is fixed nature’s law. Atoms, stars, life depend on it. Democracy has its own constants: rule of law, checks, truth. Trump acts like he can bend them. Break the constants, and the system collapses. You can’t cheat physics or democracy. democracy21.org/news/freds-w...

War It’s here. Not tomorrow, not someday u now. Cyber war, disinformation, energy blackmail—Putin has already crossed the line. Europe must wake up. Waiting for U.S. approval is surrender. France, UK, Poland, Finland—lead now. www.defensenews.com/global/europ...
