Yes, Congress is not addressing anything Trump is doing for Putin? Can you Nazi this?

The arguments we’re having today aren’t new. In fact, we were having many of the same ones more than 150 years ago during Reconstruction.

I recently sat down with Malcolm Gladwell to reflect on this pivotal time in our nation’s history, and the work that remains. Check out our conversation:

In 2002, Bush created the Department of Homeland Security, from the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS, under Justice) and the U.S. Customs Service (under Treasury).

I’d like someone to tell me when we can change that stupid name. It’s for Nazis. Was Bush a Nazi or just ignorant?

Notice that MAGA never refers to Putin as a “warmonger.” You know, the guy who started the war, bombs civilian population centers daily, & refuses to sign a ceasefire. Nope, according to MAGA, Putin isn’t the warmonger - it’s the people who support Ukraine’s refusal to surrender.

Please stop using language that suggests that people with criminal records are appropriate targets for this administration's violence. One in three adults has a criminal record. Stop playing sacrifice games with fascists. Stop surrendering entire categories of people in your own mind.

truth,
as far as it goes
⚡️
yet Fascist ideology tends to formalize feral emotions in thick veneers of ideological (quasi- or pseudo- “intellectual”) justification, often with epic even mystic robing

Thank you for following!

We each possess ideological & theological beliefs. I politely pen lyrics & compose music into songs, but some are just comic sarcasm.

We create music to reduce listener anxiety, so our song/genre catalogue offers many lensed viewpoints.

Really good as usual but let's please be careful to use both of these words carefully. *Both* propaganda and provocation are tools of the Fascist coalition and both are happening constantly.
This week, MAGA figures claimed Kristi Noem "stared down" violent antifa protesters in Portland. Turns out they were talking mostly about a guy in a chicken suit.

This episode opens a window into how MAGA propaganda works and MSM failure to handle it. 1/

Getting my Kuhn & Piaget on, this makes sense to me to understand the profound and persistent polarization in the field.

We need a way to get less wrong, together.

#ScreamTest / #CheerTest serves as the paradigm / schema / heuristic for many in the field of nicotine and tobacco research, and the continuum of risk cannot be assimilated.

Maybe stop calling it an ‘experiment’, which implies something of a temporary nature. Are we to experiment with dictatorship, perhaps?

Comprehensive accurate information includes progress as well as problems. And conceptual language that strengthens #BrainFunction

I’d say accurate information might create more.

“War itself is, of course, a form of madness. It’s hardly a civilized pursuit. It’s amazing how we spend so much time inventing devices to kill each other and so little time working on how to achieve peace.”

Hope your friend's ok.
Here's what I do.
I find or create groups of people who share a pro-social mission, and immerse myself in the group and the mission.
I'm now in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 groups!

And, the bands play at rallies! Fun!

Math is just one language we use. It's an incredibly formal one, and that formality allows us to use it to uncover some of the deepest truths of the universe.

Human language is loosely formal, but the it serves the same purpose to represent the human condition, which is inherently thought-bound.
