Here's some interesting insight into "status", and the current political erosion of privilege among the "laptop class" in our society. #society #privilege www.ecosophia.net/a-brief-guid...

Good lord. "Forget about intelligence"? Rubio's failed to read Sun Tzu, who wrote: "It is only the enlightened ruler and the wise general who will use the highest intelligence of the army for the purposes of spying, and thereby, they achieve great results." #intelligence #SunTzu

Competitive wages and benefits can attract workers? Imagine that. Interesting it's in meatpacking, as that means higher prices at the grocery store. I have a feeling that beef is transforming into a luxury product. #labor #beef #agriculture www.wsj.com/business/mea...

I suppose this is evidence the USA is a military/police state.

Important data to keep in mind as we're hearing the inevitable whataboutism from voices on the right. #extremism #violence

The bullshit coming from the Trump administration never seems to stop. The Veterans Administration can now deny care to veterans based on their political views? It's getting beyond ridiculous. Trump and his apparatchiks need to go. #veterans #VA #healthcare www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Biggest protest I've ever seen in Kansas City. One news station reported 10,000 people participated. Don't have confirmation of those numbers, but it wouldn't suprise me. #KCMO #KansasCity #NoKings #protest

Today's shooting of two Democratic legislators and their spouses brings to mind Italy's "years of lead", a period marked by political violence. I fear the USA is heading down that road. #neofascism #violence #politics #Minnesota www.middlebury.edu/institute/ac...

Last night I presented a lecture on fascism, with an emphasis on the repression of Freemasons in Franco's Spain, at my Masonic lodge. The lecture had been planned for some time. Little did I know how timely it would be. #fascism

Interesting that the administration's immigration policies are having a negative effect on sales at major consumer brands, such as Coca-Cola. Makes sense. The Latino market is huge. #immigration #consumer #Latinos www.wsj.com/business/ret...

Worth reading. It's a good essay and, somewhat ridiculously, was censored on FaceBook and got the author kicked off that platform. Confirms my decision to stop using FaceBook. www.meditationsinanemergency.com/some-notes-o...

This is such bullshit on multiple levels. Spend your ad money with us, or we'll sue you. It's a shakedown racket. What's next? Tesla suing customers because they want to buy a Ford? #X #advertising #ShakeDown #bullying www.wsj.com/business/med...
