AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

We are a country that is pathologically divided, with liberty and justice for only a specifically chosen few who seem to have wealth or devotion in common.

Because I am an American citizen, I am protected by the
First Amendment.

I am neither a Democrat or a Republican. I am an American citizen.

I cannot pledge allegiance to the this current Flag of America. The Republic for which it was conceived is no longer One Nation under God but a nation under an authoritarian felon, rapist and pedophile. We are no longer united.

Jones: I would say to my colleagues who serve in governmentβ€”keep your thoughts and prayers, keep your tweets. If you want to address gun violence, you don't need to tweet. What you need is a mirror. You have the power to change things.

I fear that by Zuck & Musk buying platforms that harvest our personal data & pump us full of propagandaβ€”they’ve begun to convince the world that our minds, our beliefs, & our life data are commodities to be purchased & manipulated by the billionaire class.

When those assets should belong to YOU.

America does not have a far left movement.

Our far-right are fascists. Our center-right are extremist nationalists. Our center-left are classical conservatives. Our far-left are moral centrist moderates.

Any objective political compass would place politicians like Sanders or Warren barely left of center

A real far-leftist movement would be advocating for forced property seizure by the working-class.

Instead our far-left is like "don't let people die in medical poverty, please"

Our political scale has been propagandized by capitalism to make basic empathy a radical political ideology.

But it's not.

The entire barometer is off & a dangerous sociopathy has been the norm for way too long.

That's how we got here: being conditioned not to care about others.

What Eisenhower said over 70 years ago is even more true today.

The President said of the U.S. economy: "We are a department store, and we set the price. I meet with the companies, and then I set a fair price, what I consider to be a fair price, and they can pay it, or they don't have to pay it."

And then... I lost it.

Nina Jankowicz shared this advice for another moment & yet it works so well in 2025:

Disinformation provokes strong emotional reactions because when we're in heightened emotional states, we're reactive & easily manipulated.

One piece of advice: calm down first.

Ask for motives: second.
