What if we all joined unions instead of joining populist partisan cults? You think our lives would be better? Pretty damn sure there'd be better economic conditions, better jobs, better wages, better health care, better working conditions, better work-life balance. Labor also knows how to party. 🥳🎉

70% disapproval rating on the economy. ALSO illegal wars for oil, corruption, grift, racism, sexism, Epstein files, ICE, DOGE, ballroom, more time golfing than governing, literally falling asleep or babbling like an incoherent child, behaving like a tyrant monarch. Are we great again yet?

Yesterday was my last day working for "big mental health." Commoditization of care, predatory hiring and employment practices, profiting off the backs of underpaid overworked micromanaged clinicians, financially browbeating clients, treating them like cattle. Nope. I'm out. Small practice for me.

#WHCD #propaganda

Without any documentation or evidence "unnamed officials" are attempting to tie the WHCD suspect to the Wide Awakes movement. They couldn't find a link to their favorite liberal villain ANTIFA so they just moved on to an adjacent peaceful youth-led BIPOC centered movement. WTF. #propaganda

In 2016's "How Propaganda Works" Jason Stanley details the mechanisms of how propaganda is subtly used to undermine public trust in and ultimately undermine liberal democracy. Last night is an example of a regime using it to inch authoritarianism forward. www.goodreads.com/book/show/30...

Noam Chomsky and Edward S. Herman wrote about the Propaganda Model in their book “Manufacturing Consent” in 1998. We are seeing it being created in real time, right now, with multiple staged violence events in succession. journalism.university/media-and-co...

Sharp observers watched the WH propaganda wheel spin in real time last night.

I started Covid working online and attending classes on a 6-foot plastic folding table. 6 years and a Master’s degree later I finally get to retire the plastic, setting up my dream #homeoffice studio. Just in time for Spring telehealth therapy, coaching, and consulting. 🙏🌈🚀 #standingdesk

It is not alarmist to say that the AI bubble is driven by a theory of technocratic replacement of true democracy. The technocratic oligarchs and leaders don't give a shit about the rest of us. We are just product. youtu.be/Cn8HBj8QAbk?...

Legitimate academic freedom does not use authoritarian ideology to reinforce closed thought, hatred, and discrimination. This is an opportunity for academia to cement their safe spaces to welcome the inevitable refugees that will flee from the state of Texas and other backwaters of hate like it.

Suddenly today the Microsoft Office 365 news feed engine exploded with military gear propaganda war porn. From helicopters, fighter jets, and sea drones, to future weaponry systems - it looked like a defense industry blog. Who's investigating the dark war propaganda purchasing budget?

Regarding AI: I cancelled my subscriptions for something that is being trained by “Big Mental Health” to attempt replacing my very human services.

@frontlinepbs.bsky.social @propublica.org just pulled the curtain back on ICE/CBP/DHS evil violent illegal activities in Minnesota Chicago L.A. the country www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontli... Kudos to AC Thompson and his team. The TRUTH exposed!

To understand how we got here read “Shadow Network” by Anne Nelson and “Bad Faith” by Randall Balmer. This long con goes back decades. Pre-PTL, pre-Fallwell, pre-Reagan. This is all the next version of the old Amway-NuSkin-MLM-timeshare-Jesus grift repackaged into a political regime. Only worse.

Released this last night. If you are wondering why you are feeling pushed around by life, this might resonate with you. -SF

New Post is up at IYKYKNews.com! Discernment can save us from the psychological influence machine www.iykyknews.com/discernment-...

It isn't ok that Donald Trump and half of his MAGA cabinet are misogynist pedophile sexual abusers. It isn't ok that Eric Swalwell or any other so-called Progressive Democrat might be one or all of those either. ✔️ Prosecute all of them. ✔️ Party doesn't matter. ✔️ Burn it down.

I remember 1997 working within DNC Finance, AIPAC's omnipresence, seemingly impacting every political decision, every strategic and tactical move, even influencing elements of The White House (Clinton). The DNC finally rejecting dark money including AIPAC's is revolutionary.

Sometimes the most healthy thing one can do is back away and turn inward. The work is always internal.

wise truth…

1) Fascist MAGA GOP politicians want to make LISTS of trans people in order to purge them. 2) The same MAGA GOP fascists also want to purge ALL LGBTQIA+ people. They’ve attempted it justified by evangelical Christian Nationalist hate. This is an existentialist crisis for all queer people.

“Being LGBTQ+ is not a mental illness or disorder. Conversion therapy — efforts to change sexual orientation and gender identity — is not a legitimate therapeutic treatment.” American Psychological Association statement 03/31/2026 www.psychiatry.org/News-room/Ne...

You are loved. You are valuable. You are family. #transgenderdayofvisibility

If it is all overwhelming If you need to back away. If you need extra rest. If you know in your being it feels “off” or “misaligned” Then follow that sense. That is your discernment trying to help you.

Bannon and Davis say ICE checking ID's at airports as a precursor to being at voting polls. Bannon calls it "Trump playing 4D chess." These toolbags don't care about the Constitution, only about instituting a white christian nationalist fascist state. #fascist #whitenationalist

Spring has sprung. 70 degrees in Minnesota. Left all the crap behind today and planted some stuff.

The costs of war are never fixed. 20 days in to this illegal war-of-choice, the costs are now well north of $25B in financial costs, and that doesn't even take into account the human toll on all sides. iran-cost-ticker.com All because PsychoCheeto was pushed into it by Binny over the Epstein files.

The further my being travels in this existence, the deeper discernment sews understanding, the greater the sense that none of this is working anymore. It is no longer about being right or wrong. It is about truth vs. untruth. It is about surviving the massive upheaval. It is about accepting what is.

Lifting this back up…

I truly hope that if China or any other nation state has the entire unredacted Epstein files, that they immediately release the whole goddamned thing. We are not afraid of the truth. The truth will set us free. Humanity is ready.

Hi there! ✋ If you like some of the things I write, I'd appreciate if you visit @iykyknews.bsky.social iykyknews.com and join to get my writings directly from the source. I started IYKYK to be a free, open, uncensored place for my written work. I am aiming to grow my reach. Please sign up. TY!

Since 2016 a right wing 'freelance commenter' for AFNN repeatedly lied about me, impugned my character, called me an evil person, and attributed to me things that I never had anything to do with personally or professionally. If you believe anything Selwyn Duke writes you're a dumbass. #propaganda

Working on an IYKYK commentary about the topic of “discernment” in processing current events. Have you or someone you know struggled with admitting they have had trouble separating reality from propaganda?

Eventually investigations of these wars-of-choice will reveal massive market manipulation, insider trading, shorting, and oil profiteering benefitting Trump, Netanyahu, Putin, Kushner, members of Congress, Knesset, enablers and oligarchs, many also whom, like Trump, are in the Epstein files.

The word is “unconscionable.” No I take that back. “Insane” is more like it.

No dis on the USA Hockey gold medalist teams, but tonight’s Minnesota A+AA H.S. Championship games are more exciting heart attack hockey than the Olympics! #stateofhockey

YouTube, Twitch, Discord, TikTok, Substack, Insta, FB, WhatsApp, Snap, Twitter/X, Rumble, and every other digital content platform is squelching free speech. Is it all just algorithmic manipulation of information to quash truth? Yes. #resist

There are no D or R sides anymore. There is only the common people on the ground vs. the elites who think they are above the laws. That’s it, everything else is a lie. #resist #eattherich #antifascism #V #revolution #nowars

Celebrate the triumphant exuberant flows. Minnesota weird at its finest.

Underlying motives for the new war. The Ellisons are balls-deep in your personal data, moving forward with creating the command and control apparatus in the United States. The Iran war is a distraction from Digital ID + Epstein files. The Merger That Needed A War open.substack.com/pub/thedreyd...

Many high school and college classmates were sent off to war in Iraq justified by Bush's lies, capturing oil, plundering assets. Young soldiers who entered the military because it was the only good paying job died in Iraq. This Iran attack looks EXACTLY THE SAME with Trump's + Netanyahu's lies.

Re-lifting this. 9 days ago Malcom Nance rang the bell that the U.S. was gearing up for full-scale air war. Now the event stream is loaded with 85 little girls dead in a school in Iran. MAGA GOP cheer him, Epstein victims still have no justice. This is a distraction war.
