Pritzker: Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research…

"The era of letting Republicans break all the rules, not follow any of the laws, run roughshod over the Democrats, while the Democrats continue to just try to protect every possible existing norm and institution, that era is over." Time for Chuck Schumer to get the memo. Tim Miller:

Everyone needs to understand they are breaking everything that protects your privacy as much as anything else.

Companies that have protected your privacy will gain increasing access to your info and communications.

It would take very little time for this to be weaponized.

As someone who spends a lot time thinking about the values I want to teach my kid (besides PLEASE DON’T EAT DIRT), the thing I keep coming back to is this: I want him to believe that the strongest, bravest thing he can do is give a shit about other people—especially ones who aren’t like him at all.

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country.

This Friday, where will you be?

Everyone needs to take time to learn or relearn about milgrims studies and the Stanford prison experiment.

American societal collapse will only accelerate if people do not act.

The studies we have on human nature show that the vast majority confirm to societal pressure even in extreme cases.

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

For everyone else that cannot tolerate a second of this bullshit. Focus your anger and rage at those responsible and with power.

But realize it won’t work, the real villains are the bullshit Joe Rogan centrists that decided nazis were the right path.

What could Jeffries and Schumer do? Call for a general strike.

They don’t have a mandate unless you sit there and let them steamroll you.

If you are too afraid to fight back literally you can fight back by withholding labor.

Everybody should be hounding their congressional representatives about what is happening. Double the hounding if you have a moderate or republican in power.

The entire goal of this administration is to break everything so that they can “fix”
it in their image.

Ignore inflation it isn’t a bug.

It’s hilarious how nearly every single crypto scam has obvious bro influencers finger prints on them.

Their politics of anti regulation and anti government are highly tied to them being fucking scammers.
