Need a jumping-off point to start some discussion in small groups locally to start cult deprogramming efforts locally. Just have no idea where to start except putting it out there and getting the conversation started.

The Constitution’s framers designed a federal system to balance state autonomy with collective action. Ignoring this balance—through hyper-partisanship or “national divorce” rhetoric—weakens America’s global standing and emboldens adversaries. #PubliusRewritten #SkyPolitics #SkyHistory

While rivals like China and Russia test international norms, America's disunity sends conflicting signals to the world. Jay argued that “to be safe at home, we must be respected abroad”—yet a fragmented nation cannot speak with one voice. #PubliusRewritten #AmericanDemocracy #SkyPolitics

When Americans can no longer agree on what is real, they become even more vulnerable to the very manipulation Jay foresaw. #PubliusRewritten #FoundersIntent #DemocracyinCrisis #AmericanDemocracy #SkyPolitics #SkyHistory

Jay’s core thesis—that America’s strength lies in its unity—rings true today. He would argue that a fractured nation cannot address existential threats like climate change, cyber warfare, or pandemics. For example: #PubliusRewritten #FoundersIntent #DemocracyinCrisis #AmericanDemocracy #SkyPolitics

Federalist No. 1 closes by urging citizens to rise above “passion” and embrace “candid discussion.” Today, as deepfakes distort reality and extremists weaponize grievance, we must remember: #PubliusRewritten #FoundersIntent #DemocracyinCrisis #AmericanDemocracy #SkyPolitics #SkyHistory

I call him governor hot wheels to mock him for his own cruelty towards his disabled constituents, and to mock his hypocrisy.

Well fb threw a fact check on this, my fact check of the image, and put it behind a warning, and reduced the visibility on platform. 🤣🤣🤣 So I also dropped it on Substack open.substack.com/pub/engarner...

What’s the worst possible role Gene Hackman could have played? I’m going with Eminem’s role in 8 Mile

Not sure where I’m going with this, but my brain insisted on making this, so I might delve into political satire as the inspiration comes through. open.substack.com/pub/engarner...

Started the de-googling, I feel slightly dirty going back to iPhone from Google pixel, also switched carrier from Google Fi, and cancelled the YouTube premium family subscription. It’s not a lot, but a start to show a corp I don’t agree with their practices.

Today was Thanksgiving lunch at my kids school, the racket being they also have the book fair this week, so you get suckered into buying overpriced books from a limited selection. However, I bought this book for full retail price, based on the title and the cover alone. 🤣 #KlawdeEvilAlienWarlordCat

Spoilt! He got a towel next to a window, and a new fav toy. #CatsofBluesky

I knew better, but it's a large flat space in my bedroom, it got piled up and I forgot the main reason I kept the ottoman is Bean loves it. So today, I finally cleaned off his ottoman and will do better about keeping it clear for his lounging activities. 💖 #CatsofBluesky #greycatnamedbean

Bean is the best nap partner. 💖

I aspire to be this unbothered.
