Part of cult indoctrination is isolating new guests from access to potentially critical voices outside of it. In larger society, that process can happen in more nuanced, but likewise aggressive, ways. #cults #psychology #sociology #politics #propaganda

The more his popularity goes down, the more he claws at American Democracy to punish us for it.

The least popular president ever appointed 3 justices to the SCOTUS, who voted to dissolve what more or less ended the Jim Crow era. H*tler literally took notes from Jim Crow, marveling at how racism could be coded into law. The May Day general strike tomorrow could not have come at a better time.

13-year Unification Church/FFWPU/"Moonie" cult member labor trafficking scheme busted! Hyung Ki Kim of NJ was arrested on 4/15 for inviting foreign, young members on fraudulent visas, to work for next to nothing & pocketing the income. Really, the cult has been doing this for 70 years. #moonies

13 Year Labor Trafficking Scheme Busted! A Unification Church member in NJ, Hyung Ki Kim, was recently arrested for inviting foreign, young church members on fraudulent visas, to work on a high-demand schedule for next to nothing & pocketing the income, called the ILTP. #cults #moonies #truecrime

Dammit East Coast summer, how dare you show up this week and not wait your turn. Shoo, off you go 🥵❌👋

After leaving a cult, the social hierarchy from it may tend to echo in ex-members to a harmful degree. This comes from about a decade of ongoing therapy, research, & discussion w/ fellow ex-cult members, after a childhood in the “Moonies” cult. tiktok.com/@2dhose/video/7628588267247537421 #cults

Oh what? Another show about Silicon Valley tech bros, by a writer from Succession, starring Zach Galifianakis?!! 😍😍😍

There better not be a ceasefire in the Halls of Congress. That threat this morning needs to be held against him as evidence, until he's locked away and disciplined for using the presidency to amplify unhinged vengeance and genocide.

I don't know how it could possibly be any more clear. This man is drunk with power. There is no plan.

Trump is addicted to domination. If he doesn't get his way, he breaks something at a more fundamental level to force it, with no longterm plan. Now he's literally threatening genocide. This is 100% addict behavior. Every day he's in power = more to fix, clean up, & pay for for the rest of us.

I wish people would stop saying we have a deeply "flawed" healthcare system. It's the opposite of flawed for insurance companies. It's a deeply rigged healthcare system. And the only cure is policy. "Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will." -Frederick Douglass

Yup, typical narcissistic cult leader behavior. You can forfeit your entire personality to fight their battles only to be trashed like yesterday's jam. Hope Trauma Bondi wakes tf up & joins the "Trump betrayed me" brigade w/ Scaramucci & MGT. She's got a lot of ammo w/ the dirt she had access to 😈

Another cult leader gets locked away! This is all thanks to the incredibly brave victims who were psychologically and financially exploited via OneTaste, going face to face against someone who made her way into the ranks of the wealthy and powerful. #onetaste #nicoledaedone #cults

And here we have the face women made in a time when men took themselves way too f*cking seriously. Seems to be trending again. Medieval art from the Met Cloisters last weekend.

Epstein Receipts! Women at No Kings in Nashville understood the assignment!

“33.6% of scheduled [TSA] officers missed work at JFK Airport and 37.4% at Baltimore-Washington Thurgood Marshall Int’l Airport.” If this doesn’t scream GENERAL STRIKES WORK, well, it’s been time to pull that emergency brake already 🔥

Joy was treated as a prize to be won instead of the fuel that gets you there, in the cult I was born into that groomed us for an arranged marriage. This played into my career assumptions until it didn't, which led to work w/ a world famous designer. Full video on TikTok: tiktok.com/@2dhose/vide...

If the survivor known as “Katie Johnson” or “Jane Doe” is still out there, many people hope she knows this: she is believed, she is not alone, and her voice would matter. The new evidence has reopened questions long ignored, and her testimony could help reveal the full truth. Time for truth.

Let’s put an unhinged malignant narcissist sundowning into dementia in control of the most powerful military force in the history of mankind because what could go wrong.

It's high time for setting these precedents in the richest country in the world.

"I like Trump because he says exactly what's on his mind" So do addicts, abusers, cult leaders, racists, little children...

I've been a Matt Berry fan for 20 years, but honestly wonder if this gig is a good fit. Being a dark, bleak, pervy troll is his whole brand. He'll either do a people-pleasing Jackie Daytona or piss off some Ray Purchases there. Maybe the academy is looking for another buzzworthy Will Smith slap?

This wasn't easy to read growing up in the Unification Church, going to school in Irvington, NY where the Moons lived. I was always afraid the locals might find out I was in "that cult" so took refuge in friends at church properties. Hoping they find help while regaining trust in the larger world 🙏

Thank you SCAD student group MOMELove for having me at “The world’s largest student-led motion graphics conference“ CoMotion 2026 in Savannah. A nice reminder of the kinship art school can help develop. The level of talent made it hard to critique their work. Cont'd: www.instagram.com/p/DVrR61XCStS

Got invited to Savannah this weekend for the CoMotion motion graphics conference at SCAD, and would you look at that? Maybe Mamdani’s free buses in NYC isn’t such a crazy idea after all 👐

"With the dissolution order backed up by the higher court, the liquidation of the [Unification Church of "Moonies" cult] is set to take effect...The group will...not get tax benefits." This is huge, as Japan has been their main source of global funding for at least 50 years. #cults #moonies

Cults don't have standards. They have no justice. It is solely whatever the cult leader wants at any moment. You can stay on the high of that wave where compromising (what's left of) your integrity is the membership fee, or jump ship like leaving a high-paying job without another job lined up.

Before Hegseth replaces proper, seasoned military intelligence and policy with AI, we have to pray there are still some Vasily Arkhipovs on board to prevent the self-destruction of this regime from becoming everyone's destruction.

Posting this lawsuit tracker today after that self-congratulatory monologue of lies and blame, resulting in the longest SOTU ever last night because of course. www.usatoday.com/pages/intera...

Anyone who's ever been prey to abuse knows this is the kind of face an abuser makes. He's been wearing that look all night.

Anyone else not want to miss any Al Green-esque reaction moments live, but simultaneously can't make it through listening to the child r*ping antithesis of the Constitution being allowed to speak into a microphone? #SOTU #SOTU2026

These six progressives are steering the ship out of fascist territory and back into the hands of the people. Thank you AOC, Mamdani, Khanna, Crockett, Warren, and Sanders, for your bold, principled leadership.

"In its argument, the gov't claims it alone has the power to erase, alter, remove & hide historical accounts on taxpayer & local government-funded monuments within its control. Its claims...echo Big Brother’s domain in Orwell’s 1984.” Judge Cynthia M. Rufe claps back hard at the felon in chief 🔥

"Dhakal maintained regular communication w/...the Unification Church [AKA "Moonies" cult] & sought political support through alliances w/ major parties, particularly the CPN-UML. A leaked letter dated Nov. 30, 2017 cited in the investigation also alleged Dhakal demanded money from church officials."

Meanwhile in terms of day job work, I helped edit this teaser for Noah Kahan's new music video of The Great Divide, as part of a promotional campaign around the Grammys.

His stage name takes on a whole new meaning 🤮

"Probably 99% [of cult leaders] are con artists who know exactly what they’re doing. Maybe they have a bit of sociopathy or psychopathy adding to it. But I think most of them are sitting back and laughing at their followers." -Janja Lalich, cult expert

"Teddy Hose, who grew up in a prominent [Unification Church] family in the U.S., explained, 'Moon treated Japanese members like slaves. There was part of me that was, like, it’s awful that someone died, but finally people are going to see just how f*cked up things are.'”

9 deaths from ICE this month alone, and the numbers keep rising. There is a name for this type of enforcement that has existed throughout history. And as it was said long ago, those who cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_s...

Usually it’s Kristi Noem on these screens at TSA, but not after the 9th ICE murder within a single month. Stay the hell out of our airports. Stay the hell out of our faces. Stay the hell out of our communities! #AbolishICE #FUCKICE

Fellow ex-Moonie Faith has been a dedicated cult whistleblower/educator for at least a decade, with a following of 77.2K followers on TikTok (@faithy3n) & multiple podcast interviews. She is an abuse survivor now living with her likewise sister & needs help to avoid eviction. #cultsurvivor
