I didn't, for the record. I appreciated what he was able to get done. But, he had a messaging problem and was visibly in cognitive decline. Plus, while Biden made a lot of good concessions to the progressives, none of their BIG goals got accomplished.

If America could free itself from its addiction to social media, and send a message to the likes of Zuckerberg, Musk AND Congress (which is 10 years behind regulating it), we wouldn't be here now...

If you really want to know what, beyond the oil, this is.about takes one reporter to ask: "Doing this in an election year, do you think this could mean we won't have elections this year if things escalate?"
He is not prepared for that question, and he can't keep a secret. He will say "possibly."

The cruelty, greed, and lawlessness of the hunters woke up decent people and they galvanized against the law. I do believe people are angry about what #IceLawlessness is doing to their communities as well. Thank you so much for these history lessons that bring our times into better focus!

The very things that annoy you about kids are the same reasons y’all get on here saying you hate small talk and don’t speak to your neighbors. It’s hyper-individualism. It’s easier to project that discomfort onto the most vulnerable rather than examine how disconnected we’ve all become.

You don’t have to want kids or even enjoy being around them. But it’s also worth unpacking why kids simply existing, learning, or having unmet needs reads as “annoying,” “unlikeable,” or “bad behavior.”
This collective discomfort with noise, need, & vulnerability is why many ADULTS are struggling.

Trump is weak at home, and he can be stopped – so long as the domestic political logic of foreign intervention is recognized and turned against him. This act of war is about regime change in the United States. It only succeeds if Americans allow it to do so.
