Mapping the Mind: Understanding Robert Kegan’s Constructive-Developmental Theory and the Evolution of Adult Thinking Recognizing that development is not about being better, but being more whole, is the key to navigating that shift with grace.

What if we don’t have as much control over our choices as we think?

Whether you agree or not, the question is worth sitting with:

There Will Never, Ever Be a “Golden Dome” Over America—and Donald Trump Knows It The latest Trump-Hegseth scam is an attempt to drain funds from useful programs, center the Pentagon, and give credulous Americans another Musk-style pipe dream to focus on while America is destroyed.

(📣) If you read just one article about this trillion-dollar scam, make it this comprehensive, fully sourced one. This is another Watergate-level scandal media simply no longer has the time or attention to cover. But it may well be as bad—or worse—than all the rest.

Red lightsabers, both of them.

They know exactly what they are: pure evil.

The Trump-El Salvador Scandal Deepens As President Trump prepares to fête brutal far-right El Salvadoran dictator Nayib Bukele in DC on April 14, the scandal involving a vile new international slave trade between the two men is growing.

(📣) PROOF UNLOCKED: The second report in the Trump-El Salvador Scandal Trilogy at PROOF—a trio of massive, well-sourced reports—is now free to the public.

If this is the sort of independent curatorial journalism that interests you, I hope you’ll consider subscribing to PROOF.

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.

The Secretary is unfit to lead.

The lies Pam Bondi and Stephen Miller just told about Abrego Garcia on national TV...

...I have no words for them. I am sick of calling things obscene or deranged. These are obviously evil people charting an obviously evil course for our country.

The idea of Hell was devised for people like this.

Bravo to @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social for his bravery and journalistic integrity.

Them: “no ‘war plans’ were discussed”

The chat:

I’m so here for this 🙌🏽. Sadly o don’t think it will change much as far as them having consequences. It may shift public opinion at least.

Oh wow, @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social did it

NSA warned of vulnerabilities in Signal app a month before Houthi strike chat The National Security Agency sent a bulletin in February warning of Russian hackers trying to access encrypted conversations on Signal.

🚨 CBS News has received an internal NSA bulletin from Feb 2025 warning staff NOT to use Signal app for sensitive info, citing vulnerabilities to Russian hackers. These docs were sent pre-Houthi chat scandal with Jeffrey Goldberg.

Imagine being Europe and reading this

Undue Process We're entering the era of "Legal due process for me but not for thee." Let's look at just a few examples from the Trump regime.

BREAKING NEWS: The Artificial Intelligence Elon Musk Funded Now Asserts That There Will More Likely Than Not Be a Second U.S. Civil War This Year or Next In conversation with the only author who’s both a bestselling Trump biographer and bestselling Musk biographer, Grok finds a 70% chance of civil war. A transcript of the lengthy conversation is below.

(🔐) Please understand that this is neither a stunt nor a casual conversation. It’s long, fully sourced, includes reams of hard data—among much else, on anticipated casualties—and takes into account the best intel we now have on Trump, Musk, and their political plans. I hope you’ll share this widely.

“Illegal immigrant” was their first success.

Now comes
“Illegal boycott”
“Illegal protest”
“Illegal votes”
“Illegal posts”

Until the “illegal” is you. #3E

Great advice that I should also take.

global newspaper headings

Papers worldwide condemn Trump, in addition Trump has lost the Daily Mail. When you lose the Daily Mail you are a global pariah.

“Trump on Friday presided over one of the greatest diplomatic disasters in modern history.” "A spectacle to horrify the world"

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

I’m somehow on a Heritage Foundation mailing list (😂) and they sent a survey to see what we think of DOGE.

Who wants to offer some m-fing feedback?!?
