This isn’t bad luck or coincidence or predestination.
This is our choice. To live in a nation where our leaders teach hate, and military style guns are everywhere.

Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.
Remember this before you order your next pumpkin spice latte.

I’m sorry for the long post but a lot of you have followed me for a long time, since 2016 when I was one of the first to repeatedly call out Trump for being a Russian asset.
I don’t know how else to say this, as a person who has studied cults (wrote a bestseller about it) and totalitarian states.

Moskowitz: Rather than giving a long speech, I feel like I can just use this. So, that’s a fist, an American flag, fire. From now on, when we do things where we agree, I just hold this up.

1/4. Ukraine has proposed a ceasefire without conditions. Russia will almost certainly reject this and try to dictate to Witkoff that the US help Russia achieve colonial control of Ukraine, something that Russia could never achieve on its own.

Insanity: The deportation flights Trump used military jets for—that Mexico refused to accept—cost the U.S. up to $852,000 per flight to attempt to deport just 80 migrants at a time.
To compare, flights directly chartered by Immigration and Customs Enforcement cost just $8,577.
