I liked Dylan. But his Zionism drove me away. He's lauded in Zionist circles. Great singer songwriter, without a doubt. I just can't.

This book is riveting and so, so infuriating. It follows 5 families in Atlanta who are struggling to remain housed and paints deeply compassionate portraits of each unit. It reads almost like a novel but is outstanding journalism

New Stumpjumper. My first full suspension. After 40, it's a must. Little muddy on the creek crossings, otherwise the trail was primo. Got ripped up by a few thorns as I was riding. All in all a good ride. @ Bothwell Lodge State Park.

There's something comforting about a sunny, warm late-winter's day, in the rural town you live in, with a light wind carrying the sweet waft of cow manure.

Daddy Trump (Father Trump) is the natural extension of an emasculated right-wing willing to simp for him. They're fear based and Trump is savior. They fear the feminine. They fear free thought. They fear everything non-binary. All must fit into their binary world view. Us vs them. Trump is Daddy.

Dude is unhinged. He's the trash. Somehow, this is what a "Christian" government looks like? I think not.

Reading Hedges, it's become clearer to me how we've gotten here. Not that it makes it any better, but at least I'm armed with more of an understanding of cause and effect. Chomsky before him, and many others, have been sounding the alarm bells for years. It's not like they didn't see this coming.

This video goes deep. The game plan is already in place. We're just seeing the scripted playbook being put into action. Trump is a complicit puppet to his techno-bro-fascist masters.

It's near impossible to triangulate the influence of Russian disinformation and tech bro fascism. I think Trump is the intermediary. How has Russia already won? Read below:

Truth. This guy nails it. Share widely. We need more sane, deliberate discourse on the lies and corruption from level headed folks like this that can speak to their demographic. God, I love this farmer. #missouri #farming #project2025 #fafo #saveamerica #truth
