Optimistic realist. Humanity gets twisted into evil shapes by trauma, but we can recover, be better, & extend our recovery to others & the planet.

From Daniel Deronda by George Eliot - a very apt quote for today's political landscape!:
"It is a common sentence that Knowledge is power; but who hath duly considered or set forth the power of Ignorance? Knowledge slowly builds up what Ignorance in an hour pulls down."

You don't have to study body language to know exactly what they are thinking! Bondi might be on the list from what I see. Maybe she just filled her pockets with Rich Pedo money? Investigate her bank accounts and find out.

Trump tried to throw Members of Congress in jail for reminding servicemembers they don't have to follow illegal orders. He is weaponizing the DOJ to silence dissent & not one Republican has stepped up to stop him. Thankfully, a grand jury rejected it. We will not be intimidated.
Trump administration fails to indict Democrats involved in 'illegal orders' video
President Donald Trump had accused six Democratic lawmakers of "seditious behavior" after they urged members of the military and intelligence communities to refuse unlawful orders.

Trump exploits all crises (generally of his making), when Republicans kill and/or commit crimes he/his sycophants exploit it to CAUSE DIVISION blaming victims, punishing AMERICANS who weren't involved or were merely exercising their rights! Screaming Antifa was always a ploy to make dissent illegal!

Why do working-class men vote for Republicans? Is it because Republicans tell them they are the party of "alpha" men?
"Alpha" men: whiney-ass grown men who can't cook, clean or otherwise take care of themselves, and really can't handle strong women.
Misogyny will be the death of us.

Musk's dad is a pedophile, too.
Here he is arguing that the world would be better off if the marriage age were 12! He bolsters this nonsense with a big fat lie. NO, two-thirds of the world DO NOT allow girls to marry at 12!
Where are girls allowed to marry around 12 years old? Saudia Arabia,...
