In four years, my hope is that the Trump Ballroom is turned into the Palace of Justice, where all the crimes he and his administration have, are, and will commit are tried in front of the whole world.

Any moment now Turning Point USA will announce that it has awarded Trump its own version of the Nobel Peace Prize.

Interesting that the anti-socialist, free-market-uber-alas crowd are socializing major companies. They’re hailing it as “The American people will profit off of these companies!”

I thought that was what taxes were for.

The one thing about war that’s certain.

You will be lied to.

We’re about to get an assembly line of manufactured crises.

They hope to inundate us, and get us to plead, “Make it stop!”

Resistance starts within. Build up your internal resistance before acting. This will ground you for what’s to come.

Will work for 2O% carry.

In order to deal with your hate, you have to deal with your anger.

In order to deal with your anger, you have to deal with your fear.

In order to deal with your fear, you have to learn to love.

In order to learn to love, you have to go deep inside yourself, and let go.

The scariest AI future?

That it will ignore us.

Government run like a business picks winners and losers.

There will be very few winners.

@danwilsonmusic.bsky.social Thoughts? 😄

I recently turned 50, and am now starting to say things like, “You know, you don’t hear much about Delaware.”

I don’t think Zelenskyy needs to thank the U.S. any more than he already has.

But I do think Elon needs to thank us for the subsidies that have kept his businesses afloat. Never once have I heard him thank us.

He’s the very definition of entitlement.

Love those. So tasty. Enjoy Lisbon!

I’m sensing a trend with this administration. Fucked up Fridays. Every Friday has been absolutely fucked up.

When hate is met with hate it leads to violence.

When hate is met with love it leads to resistance.

Hate thrives when it’s met with more hate. It validates why it hates in the first place.

Meeting it with love confuses and diffuses it.

The more they hate, the more we should love.

Surprised they aren’t trying to create a $45-47 bill.

If they’re unwilling to listen, then we must roar.

YouTube video by Timothy Snyder Obeying in Advance: Media billionaires ask for tyranny

@mcuban.bsky.social Hoping you can amplify this message from Timothy Snyder, the author of On Tyranny. Not enough people have heard it.

If you haven’t yet, read On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder.

We’re marching straight into it.

#timetowakeup

Hmmm… reminiscent of the German Reichsalder and Roman eagle standard.

And using a crown to symbolize the U.S. as a kingdom rather than a democracy.

Added bonus - “Third” as in Third Reich.

Looks like we’re headed toward a Nazi Caesarship if we don’t stop this.

When I put Trump’s signature on his head 5 years ago, I didn’t think he’d actually become king. But here we are. Malevolent and mad. We will all be witness to what unchecked power leads to.

This isn’t a presidency, it’s a malignancy.

Its job is to grow exponentially within the federal government and kill it.

Once it’s dead, there be nothing meaningful to replace it.

As my wife so eloquently put it, “They’re trying to erase the past so they can erase the future.”

I have met thousands of engineers.

The best are very intelligent, but the tradeoff for this intelligence tends to be a lack of understanding of feelings & emotions.

DOGE is made up of young, top-tier engineers. I suspect there’s very little consideration of the humans their work is affecting.

Trump’s entire life can be summed up in one word:

Subterfuge

And everyone on the planet will suffer because of it.

Felt this was a bit symbolic. A big fat “W” for white. Not only does he want to wipe out diversity, Trump also wants to eliminate fairness, leadership, compassion, integrity, etc.

When I was 25 I was sad I had not written The Great American Novel. At 55, I realize there's no Great American Novel, there are merely the stories I'm the best person to tell. Don't worry about how others see greatness. Work on being the best version of who you are and what you can do in the world.

I know it’s only January 30, but I’m calling it…

The word of the year for 2025 is (drumroll)

THE DUNNING-KRUGER EFFECT

Not enough people think about metacognition.

There’s no such thing as an anti-Christ.

But anti-Christ consciousness is real, and it’s being practiced by those who just came to power.

It’s an utter lack of consciousness.

It’s fixated on material things.

It’s attached to the individual and rejects the collective.

It thrives on fear.
