And just like that “we” are at war. Anything to do with his failed military parade?
comment in response to post
Fellow Democrats who want to hold on to their wealth and keep their power over our freedoms? I think we’re at war with oligarchs who play both sides. Profits and power over people.

Israel isn’t limiting its missiles to nuclear sites. It wants to force a regime change. So does Trump. This will be worse than Iraq when our excuse then was to go after “weapons of mass destruction.”
comment in response to post
Remember when we went to Iraq to supposedly stop their “weapons of mass destruction”? Yeah. How did that turn out?

In WWII everyone was told, “Loose lips sink ships.” Now it’s our f*n President. It doesn’t matter if “we” doesn’t mean the U.S. is now at war with Iran. Our enemies and many of our friends will think so and act accordingly.

I would hesitate to use the word, “just” here…

“What a shame, and waste of human life. Simply stated, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. I said it over and over again! Says the same guy who nixed the 2015 Obama Iran nuclear deal, (JCPOA), between Iran and several world powers. The dangerous dude can't separate reality from fiction!

Not marching in step on purpose. Love it.

Biden did not win North Carolina.

You can block me if you wish, but I will not stop sharing the many anomalies in the 2024 election that point to tampering. Yes, it’s an inconvenient truth because of Trump’s wild projections in 2020, but “what will they say?” shouldn’t stop people from fighting for 100% election integrity!
comment in response to post
Yes, definitely not about blame or shame, but observation without judgment. Information. Truth. Our “energy,” spirit or gut help guide our choices if we only paid attention to it. It’s subtle, but powerful.

It's indeed a hollow existence. Up until the 1980s, my unsatisfied addiction to feeling loved ended in a suicide attempt, with a profound near-death experience. It changed my life & led me here. You're correct. It was about my choices. I have coached many a client suffering from that hollowness.

Sheer perfection.
comment in response to post
Another great article! Greed is like an addiction. It's never enough to satisfy. Never. The world is suffering from an epidemic of this and its devastating consequences. The antidote is to first realize that nothing "out there" can fill the emptiness within. It's a lie we have been told.

Another beautiful article that I deeply resonate with! TY also, for reminding me of Jung's insight that our shadows become projections if not "seen." My late husband said "Truth does not exist in isolation. It is always connected to other truths. Reveal a truth & you start to see it everywhere."

It most definitely is a threat against blue cities. In fact, he put out a recent directive to that effect. Combine that with NOEM’s “We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership….”

With millions showing up on Saturday, I have hope.

Navalny’s “Patriot.” He also made it clear why capitalist oligarchs need fascism. It’s more than just profits over people.
comment in response to post
I read that one! Ty. THIS: “Our task is to build a wide and deep movement, as spiritual as it is political, strong enough to stop these unhinged traitors. A movement rooted in a steadfast commitment to one another, across our many differences and divides, and to this miraculous, singular planet.”
comment in response to post
“And they think they’re gonna use them to vote. Not gonna happen.” By “them” he meant undocumented/ documented immigrants - who aren’t allowed to vote anyway. Trump lies, inciting more violence against our elected officials even at G7. It’s horrific that so many still fall for his shit.
comment in response to post
This is an enlightening article everyone should read! Thank you for writing and sharing it. It is consistent with what I learned from living in Austria for years. Talk about hierarchies! Avoidance or hatred of all things “Other.” Black and white thinking as in an amygdala hijack.

Bella Ciao! Thank you!

Oh, yeah! I knew it was European… yes! I will find it now. Thanks!

Love it! But now I have an earworm. What is that tune? Gotta find the lyrics!

Reagan. The favorite of the Heritage Foundation. Look not at Presidents. Look at who influenced them.

Another good one!!

This is funny. People walking around ignoring him. What was he thinking? One of the wannabe king’s favorite vassals trying to recruit people at a “No Kings” rally? Hard up?

I live in a town of 140,000. Our protest had over 5200 - hand counted with a clicker by Indivisible. 3.5 % is 4900. Stupid? Inflated? No. Don’t be such a Debbie Downer.
comment in response to post
Yes, the whole movement to privatize, profit off and propagandize schools has been going on for decades. Oligarchical, religious right, crazy crap. It all has to stop if/when we finally pull out of this shit.
comment in response to post
Here’s at least one example. If they can demonstrate tampering in this county, it should alert others where similar anomalies showed up. It’s another long read.
comment in response to post
We definitely need to bring up educational standards in this country.
comment in response to post
I get that, however, there are also people who get the tech or want to understand the how behind the what. One example of an easier read?
comment in response to post
Do you remember Trump demanding in 2020 that he wanted 200,000 “monitors” inside every election office and poll? And that many of those were found guilty of STEALING the tabulators and the software ? What do you think could happen to that software?
comment in response to post
Exactly. Truth is truth even when - or especially when it is inconvenient. Democrats should NEVER shy away from demanding the truth! Truth is absolutely necessary for elections!!
comment in response to post
There is at least one lawsuit (in Rockland County, NY) where a handcount is being demanded over the outrageous anomalies - like 0 votes for a Dem candidate. If this suit proves tampering there, it should spill over to other counties with similar anomalies. The “how” will be the obvious next.
