Thank you Professor Goodman. The physician witness statement is exactly the kind of primary-source record the public needs right now—facts, timestamps, and observations over speculation.

Seeing more calls for violence lately.
Don’t do it.
Violence is the fastest way to become the excuse they’re waiting for.
Don’t be the useful idiot. Stay disciplined. Stay alive. Document everything.

“Reports indicate the EU has frozen work on a U.S. trade agreement. If true, this is an early signal of accelerating diplomatic fracture.”

So, how to end this rogue actions by TRUMP (et al) of authoritarian action?

This isn’t policy disagreement — it’s a governance emergency. Congress must put real teeth into emergency-powers limits and troop-deployment rules so no president can manufacture chaos and dare the country to stop him.”

All military personnel should recognize an illegal order and refuse to follow it.

Trying to understand antisemitism.

So far:
Antisemitism is a belief system that explains complex or threatening social outcomes by attributing covert, coordinated, disproportionate power to Jews (or symbolic stand-ins), in that it persists independently of evidence about actual power distribution.

Poland scrambled fighter jets and placed its air defense systems on heightened alert overnight as Moscow launched one of its heaviest air assaults on Ukraine in recent weeks.
Russian air barrage on Kyiv prompts Polish jet scramble
The overnight strikes came one day before Volodymyr Zelenskyy is due to meet Donald Trump to discuss a newly revised peace plan.

CBS has cancelled a story about the Christmas Nigeria bombings because Bari Weiss complained it implied that Nigerians are human beings without seeking an alternative perspective from Steven Miller.

I grew up in Los Angeles, a white kid. The Latino community are loving compassionate hard working people. They are my people. Familia. My brothers and sisters. We must protect them.

Watched a news segment of congressional reps who had no idea what the mission in Venezuela is suppose to accomplish.
When leaders can’t say what success looks like, failure becomes permanent.

Robber barons once stole America in daylight and called it industry.
Now we steal Venezuela’s oil by — sanctions, coups, “freedom” rhetoric — and call it democracy.
Same empire & greed.
You can’t bomb a nation into liberty or sanction people into submission without calling it what it is: theft.

Part 2
We refuse to become what we oppose.
Rome knew this trick.
So did Caligula.
So did Nero.
When power fears conscience, it rebrands conscience as threat.
Stephen King captured it plainly in The Stand:
the people who oppose evil do so by not becoming it

Anti-fascism is not violent extremism.
It is opposition to violence as policy.”
What we are seeing in the news right now is a deliberate inversion of meaning.
People who oppose the use of violence, intimidation, are being labeled violent extremists.
That is profoundly twisted.

Short answer: the M-class (≈M1.5–M3) flare on Oct 3 launched a CME that multiple models put arriving Monday, Oct 6 around 10 AM EDT (± ~7–10 hours). Expect mainly G1–G2 (Kp ~4–6) with a small chance of stronger.. �

Context:
Dorothy Thompson’s essay “Who Goes Nazi?” Harper’s Magazine, August 1941, before the U.S. entered WWII. Writing with clarity, Thompson imagines a party and asks which guests might embrace fascism if there was opportunity. Her insight—that it’s moral fiber that determines who “goes Nazi”

Red Alert 🚨: Pentagon considering random polygraph tests + NDAs to curb “leaks.” This isn’t about security—it’s about control. A loyalty oath in disguise. History warns us: when fear replaces trust, democracy erodes.

I am totally flabbergasted Hegseth just spent several million US tax payer dollars to tell the brass to lose weight and no beards.

"Fox hails Trump’s ‘real chance for peace’ — meanwhile Hamas hasn’t even seen the plan. How do you build peace without the people in the room?”
Meanwhile, several countries at the UN back a two state solution.
Trump/Netanyahu "plan" makes Palestine disappear.

Another photo-op, another farce: Gaza as a “boardroom project” chaired by Trump or Blair.
This isn’t reconstruction — it’s performance art for power.
Gaza doesn’t need ribbon-cuttings and branding; it needs sovereignty, safety, survival.
Reducing human lives to a photo-op is not peace. It’s erasure.

ICE has erected a gate to keep protesters out. They are blocking a public street, despite the Broadview Fire Department ordering ICE to tear it down.

Join us at 1930 Beach Street. 7-9 AM. Tell Broadview to tear this fence down.
