The day that really destroyed trust and hope, just starting to build, in the US. My father and mother had campaigned for him. I was 8. All of us sent home from school. The atmosphere in the US was poisoned.

Assolini commands a woman journalist asking a question he does not like “Quiet piggie!” and the complicit US media does not complain or feature it.

So, US unappeoved-acting Attorney Lindsey Halligan told the Jury that the government didn't have to prove its case, did NOT in fact have the burden of proof, that there was no actual due process as required by the CONSTITUTION, but rather the defendant had to prove his innocence?

Now Trump wants the Epstein files released. “Redaction” / censorship has been completed, (1000 FBI agents doing it for months). Trump’s name replaced with that of a Democrat, so sure, release the files now. Lies lies lies.

The world is 700% richer than in 1970 but the average person is only 8% richer.
Because the richest 0.01% are 4000% richer.
We are all being robbed every second of every day, and it doesn't matter how much profit or growth there is.
It will never reach you in politics as is.

Oh great, Swiss Business (worshippers of NeoLibReaganomics) are caving in the bribery of Trump and the media is framing it as a "possible success." www.bbc.com/news/article...
Swiss deploy charm offensive in bid to slash crippling Trump tariffs
Swiss ministers have had "very positive" talks in Washington, but a private business visit to the Oval Office may have made all the difference.

One of my early “Covers” paintings. Most are in museums. I kept three. This one is a play on my childhood TV show love “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.”and my trope/netaphor interests (as in my PhD diss and my philosophy book). Deciphered letters by Th. Emil Homerin. This hangs in my art studio.

Zohran Mamdani is scary because he’s planting the idea we can tax billionaires & use the money to help people instead of debating what services to cut to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy - why the US gvnmt is now shut down. He’s destroying ages of messaging by billionaire-owned think tanks & media.

Fascist Mom’s for Liberty (as false a name as there ever was) lost ALL of their school board elections. 31 loses for the KKKarens. Zero wins. They planned to gut education and replace it with religious indoctrination Taliban style. Thank you American citizens for understanding the assignment.

The belief that success is entirely a result of individual effort overlooks the fact that we all benefit from the infrastructure & systems that support us. From the roads we drive on to the power grids that keep us going, society has created a foundation for success that goes beyond any one person.
