Are Americans aware that down here in Mexico we’ve been getting bombarded for months with ads of Kristi Noem telling us to our face that we’re out welcome in the US, and that these ads even found their way into our national TV broadcasts

Because I feel like I have seen nobody mention it

Why must we buy into the fake claims of AI capitalists at their word aline? I was not afraid to be left out of other "trendy" moments like laser discs, leg warmers, and pagers. I am now also suffering, apparently, from a severe lack of FOMO.

GMU President Keeps Job Amid Tensions Faculty members feared George Mason’s board would fire its president Friday in the face of ongoing federal investigations they deem politically motivated. The board gave him a raise instead.

I would suggest an addition--- since everything is a magician's handherchief, when we are led to examine the micro, let us start at the macro and work our way in. When asked to think about the macro we should start with the individual human story of the case. View-meshing instead of view-switching.

This past week, the 79-year-old president announced he’s ended six wars (some that have been going on for centuries), asserted that windmills drive whales insane, called for BeyoncΓ© to be prosecuted, claimed Obama committed treason and complained a convicted pedophile β€œstole” teenage girls from him.

I wake up every morning with a single question standing at the front of my mind, pacing back and forth in front of the other questions in a kind of pep assembly:
"Is he dead yet?"
"Not yet," I reply.
"Okay, see you tomorrow," it says, and turns to dismiss the assembly with, "Maybe tomorrow fellas."

Profiteering could be removed in both Medicine and Politics. The reason to engage the con or the swindle has ever been power and wealth.
That and guidance that confidece and expertise do not have to present as superiority. The public could reestablish trust without the feelings of condescension.

Pedophilia transcends politics.
In fact it trumps politics.
It even trumps Trump. That is why he is terrified and scrambling to throw all these distractions at us.
Out them all.

A precursor to buying someone's exhonorating testimony is to use your puppets to excuse their culpability and bolster their public image. This makes their exhonoration of you appear more credible.

Good read. What if, instead of waiting for the Trump administration to release the Epstein files, files they’ve had every opportunity to distort, redact, or bury, we had simply believed the women?

It’s time we listened.
Not later.
Now.

We can’t cancel student debt, but we can cancel the people who manage it.
It’s like keeping the tumor and firing the doctor.

I think it would be nice to have people in positions of power who were not able to be coerced and blackmailed because of their egregious misdeeds.
Just a thought.
