…what the country must have been like when, as today, any damn fool little American boy might grow up to be President, but when the President had to actually run the country!"

"And Halyard suddenly realized that, just as religion and government had been split into disparate entities centuries before, now, thanks to the machines, politics and government lived side by side, but touched almost nowhere. He stared at President Jonathan Lynn and imagined with horror…

It's called [moving hands around] Stagflation. Ok? When I heard that I said wow, what a word. You have stag and flation and they're coming together like you've never seen. But we'll be eating beautiful toothpaste sandwiches and our teeth will be stronger than perhaps ever before

gwen: yeah, ppl need to realise that class consciousness comes from when experience of class conflict makes you realise you're being exploited, not simply from your life sucking and your needs not being met.

declining standards of living doesn't in-itself cause consciousness, struggle is required.

FBI Has Secret Epstein Prison Tape With No β€˜Missing Minute’ Metadata revealed that the version released to the public was missing up to three minutes of raw footage.

The FBI has surveillance video filmed near Epstein’s prison block on the night of his death thatβ€”unlike the video released to the publicβ€”is not missing a minute of footage.

The short timeline is:
Summer 2000: Epstein "steals" Virginia Giuffre and turns her into a sex slave

October 2002: Trump tells New York, "t is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side."

NEW: Trump Just Admitted Epstein "Stole" Virginia Giuffre From Him In an interview with the press pool from Air Force One, Trump says his falling out with Epstein occurred when the sex trafficker poached Virginia Giuffre from his Mar-a-Lago spa.

This is a mind-blowing admission. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/new-trump-...

Global oil and gas emissions standard put on pause after Shell, others walk away, FT says Shell and other leading energy groups have abandoned a six-year-long attempt to define a net zero emissions strategy after being told that such a standard would require them to stop developing new oil and gas fields, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday, citing documents seen by the newspaper.

Define abject systemic failure:

The fact the fossil fuel industry has KNOWN it is driving humanity to extinction since 1954, but in 2025 is ALLOWED to ignore scientists & just carry on drilling to enrich shareholders, & is then gifted $TRILLIONS in taxpayer subsidies to do so.

Only the people united in class solidarity taking disruptive direct action can change this rapid descent into fascist oligarchy. Nobody is coming to save you, not the treasonous duopoly, not the courts. The people have to unite and destroy the billionaires.

Jake Tapper is wrong on a fairly important date. USA Alex Acosta signed a secret plea deal w Jeffrey Epstein in September 2007 that was only made public in June 2008. In the interim, Epstein transferred $48M in investments to Leslie Wexner. First & last page of Epstein plea deal:

When I am done with someone you will never hear from me again, I will never check on what you’re up to, none of that.

This culture of people making fake profiles or stalking someone who cut them out of their life, etc. is weird and shows how much people lack self control & respecting boundaries.

Ghislaine Maxwell doesn’t deserve to ever be free. She felt no remorse for those girls and never has. This is a great example of how pick me women harm children and women. He would have never had access to those girls without her. She was also a participant in their abuse.

This is grotesque. A civil society group effectively being destroyed utterly meritless litigation because of expression that antagonized a politically-connected billionaire. Who ludicrously claims to be a champion of free speech.

Yes. Somebody, for some reason, forged a perfect Trump drawing and signature 20 years ago to politically damage a guy who was not in politics. Makes perfect sense.
