A brilliant man once told me that I have "a high degree of emotional intelligence". Turned out, he couldn't match me.
In 1933, the Catholic church bargained with Hitler for Catholic freedom within Germany & joined with the Nazis for that guarantee. In 2026, the Catholics are hauled before Trump's gov't and told that 🇺🇸 will do whatever they want to whomever they want & the Church had better choose their side...

What's the real reason for this war in Iran? Trump and Netanyahu are using the same authoritarian playbook. A big part of that playbook is using war to blot out your failures and any criticism you are facing at home.

Americans: "We can't strike because we are too broke to miss work; besides, general strike is impossible here, we are just too large to act in unison."
Meanwhile, in India, 300 MILLION PEOPLE are shutting down the country by striking collectively.
Where are "the brave & the free" Americans?

Nearly 2500 years ago, Plato issued a warning to his students: “the price of apathy in political affairs is to be ruled by evil men.” Plato was right, as usual.

One lesson from the Epstein–Mandelson affair is that we need to stop routinely rehabilitating political careers after serious scandals.
When politicians knowingly engage in grave ethical wrongdoing, that should permanently end their political careers. Being "talented" should not override that.

According to the New Yorker, Donald Trump and his family profited off the presidency by an estimated $4 billion in 2025 — mostly through shady crypto deals.
That amounts to $456,621 per hour.
But how are you doing?

Epstein’s network don’t just abuse. They also manage memory, credibility, and silence. That’s why we’ve heard from so few survivors.

If the president cannot be sued while in office, then the president should not be able to file suit while in office. Fair is fair.

To everyone who needs to hear this. The main driver of homelessness isn't, drugs, drug use, or harm reduction as some people want you to believe.
The MAIN driver of homelessness is poverty, trauma, evictions, high rent increases, and limited access to various housing and resources.
