'Adolescence' Is Inspiring TikTokers to Share Red Flags for Red-Pilled Boys 'Adolescence' has started a conversation about how parents can watch out for red flags that their loved ones are being red-pilled.

A new show which charts the red-pilling of a 13-year-old boy has left parents, teachers, and siblings wondering how to protect the young men in their lives from radicalization...

...and what they can do if their kids fall into the trap.

Notice how he blames “nations all over the world” for the brutalization of farmers, rather than his own actions against farmers. Also notice in 2026 and 2028 how farmers will continue to vote republican (assuming that we actually have elections). No lessons will be learned.

Looks like it will probably be both…bailout and purchase of farms by oligarchs. —— “With today's actions, we're also standing up for our great farmers and ranchers who are brutalized by nations all over the world,” Trump said, after telling farmers last month to “have fun” selling to Americans ——

They are making diabolically calculated maneuvers that benefit only the greedy and malicious.

Faux News’ admission isn’t even a Freudian slip, it’s straight up connect-the-dots.

Thank you, Senator Cory Booker! #Resist

If you live in Wisconsin or in the 6th congressional district of Florida you’ll have a chance to do something the rest of us only dream about doing...

Agreed. I’m hearing contradictory things about her true political stance, but the GOP Propaganda Machine is going to focus on her intensely, one way or the other.

Terrific job! I salute Jeff, everyone at JAA, and all who donated during the fundraiser and celebration. 🫡

Wow! Thank you. I salute all who participated in JAA In The Hoop! 👏🙌🏀💙

See the Super Patriot. Hear him preach how he loves his country. Hear him preach how he hates “liberals”… And “moderates” and “intellectuals” and “activists” and “pacifists” and “minority groups” and “aliens” and “unions” and “teenagers” and “very rich” and the “very poor” and “people with foreign sounding names”. Now you know what a super patriot is. He’s someone who loves his country while hating 93% of the people who live in it.

VP Freedom Seeds sure doesn’t seem to be in a hurry to do his pathetic pseudo-tough guy act in Tehran, does he?

A Walton advising resistance against the republican regime??!! Well, if that’s not the seventh sign of the apocalypse I don’t know what is.

P.S. Continue to boycott Walmart! It’s still evil!

How Trump could try to stay in power after his second term ends Though the 22nd Amendment prohibits Trump from being elected president again, it does not prohibit him from serving as president beyond Jan. 20, 2029. A scholar of politics and history explains.

We must start disempowering each of these possibilities NOW.

Frankly, we in this “half” believe the same about them. The difference, though, is that we didn’t ruin their lives — however, they are absolutely ruining our lives…not to mention their own.

Big yawn for anything that that jackass says. Let’s stop even mentioning his name.

Mmmm-hmmm. Just like he knew nothing about Project 2025, right??? 🙄

What’s New Pussycat…makes me physically uncomfortable to the point that I have to either stop the song or move far enough away to no longer be able to hear it.

Substitute *I* for “they” and you have the true story.

Because he’s an immature, self-absorbed, self-aggrandizing goon and most men are immature, self-absorbed, self-aggrandizing goons.

Agreed. It might convey his thoughts, but he definitely didn’t write/post it himself…the wording, sentence structure, punctuation, etc, are incongruous with his style. He doesn’t even talk in this style.

Good for you. Keep standing strong. Keep fighting the good fight.
