2️⃣ Text: Understanding the Dark Tetrad
People with Dark Tetrad traits score high on measures of the following:
Narcissism: A belief that one is special, particularly gifted, obsessed with themselves and that they are superior to others.
Machiavellianism: A tendency to see people as a means to achieve one's own goals.
Psychopathy: A condition characterized by a lack of affective empathy and the willingness to exploit others.
Sadism: The tendency to derive pleasure from the pain or humiliation of others.
I think Dark Tetrad explains Republicans a lot.

Agreed. You have to have a lack of caring & simple human dignity to be even loosely associated with the GOP on this timeline.

Picture of a rainy evening in a London garden, all around streetlamps, a bench and a carpet of dead leaven on a wet pavement.
The story is titled:
-A tale of a silent hero-
The rain never stopped since we got back and... It kept me thinking.
My daughter once asked if war would make her a hero or a coward.
I looked into her eyes and said:
- War is everywhere, no need to search for it... It starts in our mind first.
War is blood and bones of the utmost Ignorance.
A mere invention of the richest profiting from poor's people judgement.
It steals your soul and leaves you with nothing but ghosts.
A facet of a great lie... there never was a war, nor there were enemies... only land to steal and innocents to kill.
I tried to silence my guilt instead of that lie, but it kept coming back.
Taking a life makes you no hero, even less a honourable one.
I'll tell you what heroes do and you'll decide who cowards are.
Heroes walk a silent path, known to no one but them.
They are...
an unexpected whisper that shows you a new direction.
a stranger who saves you from a house on fire.
a mother who shields her child,
a nurse, a doctor who will do anything for you to see a new day,
a consequence of a choice of taking a life or saving thousands.
In the end though, they will teach you how to be there for the next stranger.
I feel like I owe you an apology my dear, all this talking to you, when you already know all of that.
The caretaker in his drenched coat, asks me if the epitaph is right.
"Heroes walk a silent path, known to no one but them".
– Yes, I said... that's my daughter... my silent hero.

In victory for Democrats, Virginia Supreme Court says redistricting vote can go forward
Voters will get to decide on a proposed “10-1” map that could deliver four more Democratic seats in Congress.
WIN: The Virginia Supreme Court authorized an April special election in which voters will decide whether the state should redraw its congressional map to counter GOP gerrymanders.
If passed, Democrats could gain four more seats in Congress, leaving Republicans with just one of 11 seats.

Victim on Trial: From Jennifer Levin to Renée Nicole Good
The Trump administration is deploying a time-tested playbook against women who were murdered.
"Which is exactly why the case came to my mind soon after Renée Nicole Good’s execution by ICE officer Jonathan Ross. As a young reporter on the Metro desk of The New York Times, I did some coverage of the Levin murder case." www.liberalcurrents.com/victim-on-tr...

Brown University Sold Out on Trans Rights To Restore Federal Funding
Brown University, historically a very queer institution, capitulated when it came to transgender rights, cracking down on trans care and barring trans students from sports and key facilities.
Brown, despite its queer history, was one of the first universities to bend the knee to the Trump regime, cracking down on healthcare and banning trans people from sports and key facilities.
But students and anti-fascist groups are fighting back. More in our latest, from @tomatoslayers.bsky.social

“Nobody wants these ding dongs in our fucking city.”
Nate Pischke has found a uniquely Minnesotan way to protest the ICE surge in Minneapolis, using his platform as a fishing influencer to call attention to what he describes as a federal siege of his hometown.

Ofelia Torres, teen who fought to have her father released from ICE custody, dies from rare cancer
Ofelia Torres, 16, died on Friday from Stage 4 alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare and aggressive form of cancer, her father's lawyer confirmed.
A child dying of cancer spent her final days fighting to free her wrongfully detained father from ICE custody.
This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her son’s side as he died from cancer.
Not one dime for this cruelty.

You ever stop and think about CASABLANCA? You ever stop and think about "Welcome back to the fight, this time, I know our side will win?" You ever think about a bar full of people defiantly singing La Marseillaise, played by a soundstage full of Jewish refugees? You ever think about CASABLANCA??????

For nearly a year, the administration has said that DOGE had no unauthorized access to your Social Security data. A new government filing admits that was false.

Yes. I believe some GOP members, the MTG, Tillis & Mannis crowd never thought it would ever really go this far. The first layer of the onion.

It think a certain kind of character is drawn towards the GOP and generally another to the Dem/Indo coalition. You have to have a certain sense, lack of sense to value things over others. It’s a mindset cancerous to a species survival
