Duh. The puppet master is whoever spoke to him last, which, 9/10, is miller.

I've said it before but the main reason why democracy is the superior system is that, while the average person is a moron, the average elite is even more moronic

"What if the intelligensia were morons"

He was having a full on manic episode in full view of the world

Remember that chuck schumer is the architect of the infamous and almost never discussed “demographic dividend” strategy, that he and his fellow neoliberal shitlibs used to justify turning their collective backs on labor to chase fictitious “moderate” votes (ie win corporate & Uber wealthy donations)

Having just finished “Yesterdays Man” and “Original Sin,” I don’t believe today’s DNC is capable of the honest self reflection necessary to even begin to heal, let alone reform itself, in time to put up much of a fight in 2028.

They (the old third way, et al) just will not get out of the way.

"True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.” —FDR, 1944

It would take around 1.1 million acres of solar panels to (clean) power the world. That's less than a quarter of the number of acres devoted globally to golf courses. You can see where this is going, right...?

Understand that the Reichstag Fire—the faked emergency Hitler used to seize power—is happening right now in America.

Trump and his goons are lying about crime and who they are arresting to provoke the violence they will justify martial law with.

It's the fascists' final maneuver to end democracy.

absolutely no way this is legal and it seems like an extraordinarily stupid move legally

The punch down at the next most vulnerable scapegoat, and on and on we go.

somehow they managed to do the free press but worse

Opinion | The West Is Lost

If our societies were so fragile & vulnerable to shocks, we’d be better able to cope with the approaching storm.

The future doesn’t have to be one of sacrifice and broken promises. That’s an assumption we all make, and we bias every ensuing conclusion with that false premise.

The problem is we’ve convinced ourselves that more=better.

Unless and until we allow ourselves to ponder a vision of the future that makes a better use of finite resources to deliver more human welfare more equitably with less mindless consumption, we’ll never get off this merry go round.

Opinion | The West Is Lost

With so much that is broken, the West needs to tell a new narrative to survive:

"If democracies learn to articulate a more ambivalent narrative — one that acknowledges loss, confronts vulnerability, redefines progress and pursues resilience — they may paradoxically renew themselves."

I would remind folks that among the reasons Stephen Miller is saying crazy crap on Twitter is because he's losing in the courts, both judicial and public opinion.

Climate change is messing with global wind speeds, impacting planetary health Climate change is disturbing wind patterns across the globe in dramatic ways. And when combined with land-use change and desertification, these changes are spawning immense sand and dust storms that…

Climate change is affecting global wind patterns in multiple ways, many of which have direct implications for human health.

In just 5 days,October 2025 has broken more heat records than any FULL MONTH in history except September 2025 (but it will surpass it soon).
We are seeing something beyond any imagination, with records destroyed in all Continents with extreme margins.
And that's nothing to what's coming.

Scoop — Trump to Netanyahu on Gaza talks: "You're always so f***ing negative" "I don't know why you're always so f***ing negative. This is a win. Take it."

Netanyahu told Trump the Hamas statement was nothing to celebrate, and that it didn't mean anything, US official tells @barakravid.bsky.social Trump fired back: "I don't know why you're always so fucking negative. This is a win. Take it." www.axios.com/2025/10/05/t...

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE:

This statement is a clear example of what is known as “State Terrorism”: When the dictatorship will order all instruments of its state security & intelligence apparatus against its own citizens to terrorize the population.

George Carlin would never have taken blood money to perform comedy for a Saudi Arabian tyrant.

It’s effin hot. It’s also October. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Could you imagine how fast that colony would collapse into an anarchic screaming match, no doubt with (full) colostomy bags flung in rage…

Oh the things I could say…

This is an old formula used by authoritarian regimes. Stoke chaos and blame scapegoats to justify the use of force.

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

Someone should write a spy novel about the fact--not even an exaggeration--that all you need to take out key NatSec officials in the US is to bribe one of 3 different rabid Xitter trolls to lie about them on Xitter.
