tRump & MAGA will starve our children of food & knowledge. They don't believe in nourishing body or soul.

tRump withheld SNAP (food) during shutdown & is destroying Dept of Education, a form of which started in 1800s.

It was meant to end racism.

He only looks smart because his lies have overwhelmed a political culture that didn’t know how to respond to them. If I were a Trump fan, I’d start worrying about what happens when that stops. trib.al/A5Fl9FU
America Is Finally Starting to See Trump for the Bullsh*t Artist He Is
He came to power through a relentless assault of lies. But the debt owed to the truth is coming due.

ICE is STILL stuck inside the parking garage in lower Manhattan, and they seem pretty grumpy about it.

Confirmed: Earlier this morning a photog overheard agents inside the parking garage say “dismissed,” believed to be calling off their planned mass raid.

A source tells me they had planned for *hundreds* of agents to flood Canal St. They got flooded instead.

There are specific reasons Trumpists want war on Venezuela, but there‘s a generic one: they crave power to make war on anyone, any time, for completely fabricated reasons, and then to use the guise of war to increase violence and repression everywhere, including home.

They are lawless bestial scum.

“It’s classic, textbook propaganda.”
The official voice of the US government is cruel, gross, and weird. What is that doing to us?

It's darkly funny that Trump has resorted to issuing toothless "orders" via Truth Social. The White House at least used to do the ritual of having him sign executive orders, even if they were toothless or immediately overturned.

But his king cosplay is even easier when he's just typing I guess.

It’s finished.

It’s also not finished because, in the words of Paul Valéry, a piece of writing is never finished. Ultimately it is abandoned. That’s because writing is thinking, and we’re never finished with that.

Anyway, I figured out what to do with that long blog post . . .

Make it a FREE book.

Making it free meant I had to do the publishing work myself because publishers want to make money. They’re funny that way.

It’s also a YouTube series.

You can find links to the free book here: terikanefield.com/whyextremism...

It's on the major platforms.

After his party’s sharp election losses, even loyal Republicans are beginning to act like the president has an expiration date, and his own behavior suggests he knows it.
