I’m A Psychologist Who Specializes In Narcissists. Here’s What We Need To Do To Stop Trump. "The same patterns that destabilize families destabilize democracies."

“Keep faith in the long game. While narcissistic dynamics rely on urgency and alarm, deep change comes from staying calm, clear and connected. …Boundaries, civic mobilization and long-haul strategy are how we begin to heal the democratic spirit; … stop reacting and start remembering who we are.”

In business and in many other areas of life, a lot of confusion comes down to correctly distinguishing the difference between selection and treatment effects.

I couldn't find a good explainer today, so I made one.

Many Chinese See a Cultural Revolution in America People in China are expressing alarm at what seems to be an authoritarian turn in the United States, long their role model of democracy, that feels familiar.

“They’re witnessing things they thought could happen only in China: sycophantic official announcements, intimidation of the media and top entrepreneurs vying for favor from the leadership, not to mention a president who calls himself a king.”

GOP Gambles on Budget Plan That Helps the Rich and Cuts Aid to the Poor The House Republican budget plan would pair tax cuts that primarily benefit the rich with cuts to programs that help the poor.

$70,000 tax cut for the rich and $130 tax cut for working class people, WHILE reducing their insurance subsidy through Medicaid cuts swallowing far more than $130. Explain again how this helps the economy, or PEOPLE for that matter?

I’m pretty sure that is from another planet in an alternate universe

I'm so fucking tired of hearing Republicans whine about the "NEED" 2 cut "entitlements" 2cut the deficit BULLSHIT! If they just cut fraud from defense budget & taxed the top 5% of wealthiest & made corporations pay the same rate as a middle class tax payer we would be 80% to ending the deficit!

Yes same. I cancelled my subscription today. So sad

Thank you I never would have figured that out

everyone seeing how when you takeaway the DEI the planes start falling out of the sky

Jeff Bezos Overhauls Washington Post Editorial Pages, Opinion Editor Exits The newspaper's billionaire owner announced the opinion section will now focus on “personal liberties and free markets.”

I just cancelled my Washington Post subscription, a publication I have admired and read for years. I have no need for billionaires firing talented editors and stacking opinion columns with “personal liberties and free markets”.

Health Officials Warn Of Deadly, Mystery Disease Rapidly Spreading In Congo The disease, which has infected more than 400 people and killed 53 within a few weeks, “poses a significant public health threat,” the World Health Organization said.

USA may have pulled out of WHO but they are still serving us. Let’s hope this disease stays contained.

I need these people because I don’t get the jokes. Google doesn’t get it either

No way!

Thank you Dan Sinkar. We got this. Right?!

Gosh, if only there were a substance that could control the spread of such a dread disease, a vaccine, if you will

🤣

The app needs a scowly face icon 😡for things to acknowledge but not ❤️. Thank you for posting this.

It’s the Bohemian Rhapsody of daily life

What is the Financial Risk of Nonprofits Losing Government Grants?

Many states and counties that would lose the most federal funds voted for Trump. People don’t realize that blue states and city folk vote for and contribute higher shares of their tax dollars to red states and rural areas. Because it’s the right thing to do. www.urban.org/research/pub...

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story.

Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver.

This is what "merit" means to them.

Maybe explain what it is you are selling?

Trump Fires Joint Chiefs Chairman Amid Turmoil at Pentagon The decision to fire Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr. reflects the president’s insistence that the military’s leadership is too mired in diversity issues and has lost sight of its combat role.

Black Chairman of Joint Chiefs fired for being Black, I mean, uh, for his focus on diversity.
