Kamala Harris: He had no plan for actually bringing down costs and prices for the American people. He had very few plans for what he would actually do that was about the American people, and not his vengeance on his enemies.

We are more alike than divided: all people need love, safety, dignity, and hope. Beyond politics, we share laughter, grief, meals, dreams, and the wish to belong. Remembering our common humanity is the first step to healing.

Neither party truly prioritizes regular people. Democrats offer limited social protections, while Republicans push corporate-first agendas. In both cases, donor and corporate interests set the boundaries of what becomes law.

From empires to corporations, humanity's story is not progress but repackaged corruption.
The titles change — pharaoh, lord, king, president, CEO — yet the design endures: a small elite thrives, the majority suffer and endure, and the earth pays the price.

Religion succeeds not because it is true, but because it is a necessary anesthesia for most people.
It soothes despair, masks doom, and provides the illusion of meaning where otherwise there would be too much weight to carry.

The world was not built for fairness, dignity, or care. It was built for profit, hierarchy, and control.
Those who suffer the most remain invisible, while those who exploit thrive behind curated myths of success.

We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.

The taught histories are always about inevitability, progress, and benevolence.
The truths are about systems of control — deliberate, engineered, hidden.
And once you see the pattern, you start spotting it everywhere: in school lessons, news cycles, even the way museums and movies tell stories.
