The big brained stable genius. 🧠

Well this did not go well. Who knew?????

Hoo boy!!!!!

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @deadder.bsky.social ) šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø

Just posting this for no particular reason.

Live look of civil-military relation experts:

Maybe we all should start having protest festivals. Just saying.

Meanwhile, I see the Los Angeles insurrection is proceeding normally.

A reminder.

Great question. ā€œFrom the ground upā€ doesn’t mean bypassing politics, it means rebuilding the conditions that make democratic politics work in the first place. A quick thread on how I see the road ahead 🧵

The essential truth humanity faces today.

Holy crap. LA is in a full on insurrection. HELP. SAVE US. šŸ˜†šŸ¤£šŸ˜†

Them: ā€œLA is a full on insurrectionā€ Us at the protest:

Everything Moran said is empirically true. All you have to do is read and watch Miller to see the waterfall of cruelty that emanates from this man. apple.news/AVEfiG7jLRNq...

ā€œIt might be the ugliest effect of Trump’s return—the rapid normalization of spectacular corruption, the desensitization to lawless power, the acceptance of moral collapse. Eventually it will coarsen us all.ā€ apple.news/Ailac3nj0SOC...

ā€œEven if most Americans haven’t abandoned their private sense of empathy, many don’t seem terribly bothered by the rancidness of their leaders.ā€ apple.news/Ailac3nj0SOC...

ā€œMusk and Vance function at a higher evolutionary level than Trump. They have ideas to justify the human suffering they cause. They even have moral ideas.ā€ apple.news/Ailac3nj0SOC...

A reminder.

JULIETTE KAYYEM: ā€œActive duty Marines for this, Hegseth? I mean, we were just reporting on it. There's music. The traffic is moving. Most people in L.A. probably don't even know this is going on.ā€

First we have Secretary Hegseth's fever dream of troops in the streets. bsky.app/profile/rgoo...

it. Is. A. Cult.

Cryptocurrency will be the next big financial crisis. Remember, crypto is for crimeing.

"I’m also watching how this dynamic plays out in institutions. When law firms, universities or political bodies bend to powerful figures instead of upholding shared values, it mirrors what happens in abusive households: Everyone walks on eggshells." Sounds on point www.huffpost.com/entry/psycho...

One of the best threads on our current political crisis. This is what Fox agitprop and right wing social media has brought us to: ā€œdisordered discourse.ā€ It’s all about performance not about governing.

Well... this sums it up nicely.šŸ˜†šŸ˜‚šŸ˜† "And now these charisma-vacuums—who without money, fame and power, couldn’t get laid in a brothel with a fistful of fifties and a Yelp coupon—are making ā€œpolicyā€ decisions for the rest of us." open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...
