New blog post: My HCM Part 7: 2024 Odyssey from Pain to Recovery

sosassociates.com/blog/2025-12...

I wrote the majority of this in Aug 2024, at a time when there was no guarantee that I would get better

Published today to celebrate the end of the year & 1 year fully recovered - just as I planned!

Democrats should propose amendments to the SAVE act that require the government to furnish free IDs to all eligible voters before requiring them, automatically register all people to vote, expand mail-in voting, and create a national voting holiday. Then watch republicans block them.

Apparently I’m going to have to spell it out for the folks in the back.

Epstein was a sick pedo bastard that was also a racist that dabbled in misogyny.

Black girls & women go missing in this country daily but the MSM barely reports on it.

Did y’all really think

www.ms.now/news/epstein...
Epstein emailed with Silicon Valley elites about racist, eugenicist ideas
Recently released emails show Epstein discussed the appeal of fascism and population control through climate change with AI theorists who have ties to prominent tech billionaires.

In a shocking twist that everyone saw coming, per Newsweek, ICE jailed people illegally 4,400 times, hundreds of judges rule.

It's time to declare ICE a domestic terrorist organization.

So the United States will only use empty warehouses to house people it wants to terrorize, not people it wants to shelter from the cold.

We really are not a very good-natured country.

We are going to have the house, senate, and presidency soon. It will be a generational opportunity to rein in tech companies, break up monopolies, throw Trump regime in prison, create strong social safety nets, get back to valuing education, science, the environment, etc

We can’t fuck it up.
The psycho pedophile regime who kidnaps and kills us is polling unfavorably

“Political protest has long been a defining thread in Young’s catalog. In 1970, he wrote ‘ #Ohio’ in response to the Kent State shootings as a member of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young”

“Sometimes the thing that keeps people stuck in a harmful ideology is not the belief itself — it’s the fear of what it will cost them to walk away.”

“exit costs for people leaving cults, extremist groups, or even online rabbit holes is that they have to admit they were wrong.”
