Gleichshaltung. The process of Nazification.

Learn this word ⬇️:

Curious if we’ll ever hear this word used in the present tense by MSM. Probably not.

I would LOVE to be wrong. If we hear them use it in the past tense, well … 💥

Project 2025 is estimated to be 38% complete as of today.

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

Guy thinks the crowd was booing the troops and not Trump. Pure delusion.
A tweet from Bad Hombre (@joma_gc) says: “Imagine booing newly enlisted members of our military and thinking you’re the good guys. Democrats are truly disgraceful and an embarrassment to our country.” Below is a blurred photo of Donald Trump speaking at a podium, holding a microphone.

I just watched the video of the Portland Cop threatening to arrest an ICE agent if they drive their truck through a crowd. Now I see this where the General of the Oregon National Guard says if they get called up they will protect the protesters. People are fed up.

Oregon general’s testimony that National Guard troops ‘will be protecting any protesters’ gains traction online
Brigadier General Alan R. Gronewold made the comments to state lawmakers Sept. 30, and they drew notice on social media this week.

For Indigenous People’s Day, I’d like to infodump about the Cahokia mound. Built near present day St. Louis around 1000 CE, it was a vast trade hub with a population of about 20,000. This made it the largest city north of Mexico on the continent, bigger than London and Paris at the time!
The Cahokia mound, located outside modern day St. Louis, Missouri. It is a large hill which is now covered in grass, under a clear blue sky. Image source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cahokia

Imagine making six figures to not do anything you were entrusted to do.

…getting paid to not work while thousands of civil servants around you were getting fired.

…betraying those who counted on you to represent them, all to appease a wannabe dictator.

The GOP Congress is a helluva thing.

a key thing about vought — and all of these guys — is that they have a totally top down and hierarchical vision of the world. they believe that the cultural changes they hate can be turned off by destroying the federal government because they can’t imagine that they emerged bottom-up in society

What he’s railing against is a profound shift in culture, status… He’s obsessed with the idea that America is controlled by a leftist “ruling elite” - but “elite” isn’t defined socio-economically or by political power, it means something like: Getting to define “real America” and who gets to belong.

Now that they’ve located the ex-founder of anti-fascism’s girlfriend I suppose the clock is ticking.

So why not spend some of that precious time learning how we got here - along with clues on how to build a better timeline - by reading this magnificent essay by author and historian Teri Kanefield?

Powerful words from Epstein survivor Jess Michaels ⬇️:

More on this and Trumpworld’s latest chicanery as reported by historian and author @hcrichardson.bsky.social at the link.

open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...
Image of text spoken at a protest on the US Capitol steps by Epstein survivors where victim Jess Michaels said: “For 27 years, I thought I was the only one that Jeffrey Epstein raped. I believed I was alone, and I was kept silent by the shame that was inside me and by the fear outside in the world,” she said. “But I wasn't the only one. None of us were. And what once kept us silent now fuels that fire and the power of our voices. We are not the footnotes in some infamous predator’s tabloid article. We are the experts and the subjects of this story. We are the proof that fear did not break us. And we don't just speak for ourselves, but for every survivor whose story is still unspoken…. This is what power looks like. Survivors united, voices joined, refusing to be dismissed. Know this: justice and accountability are not favors from the powerful. They are obligations, decades overdue. This moment began with Epstein's crimes, but it's going to be remembered for survivors demanding justice, demanding truth, demanding accountability, and we will not stop until survivor voices shape justice, transform culture, and define the future. We are no longer whispers. We are one powerful voice, too loud to ignore, and we will never be silenced again.”
