"well you see kids, rich assholes leveraged their immense wealth to hire propagandists who exploited race and class tensions to not only install a radical authoritarian government, but build a corporate owned consolidated media apparatus that normalized and validated it..."
In hardly any time at all, footage of the horrifying moment when a bullet hit conservative activist Charlie Kirk ricocheted across the internet. Here are some pointers on how to talk to your kids about what’s going on.

"hallucinates confidentially" is so accurate for so many information sources these days.
Reporter: The FDA has a new AI tool that's intended to speed up drug approvals. But several FDA employees say the new AI helper is making up studies that do not exist. One FDA employee telling us, 'Anything that you don't have time to double check is unreliable. It hallucinates confidently'

Everyone owned by Russia is going in. It's coordinated. Putin is not happy with Krasnov.
MAGA fury over Epstein is rooted in how badly they'd been scammed by the idea that Bongino/Patel would finally blow the lid off the Deep State.
Historian Nicole Hemmer is brilliant on the right's pathologies, and on the pod she delivers on Epstein big time:

So then Elon goes "Kill the Bill!" and Trump goes "Elon has TDS!" so Elon goes "I'm the reason Trump won!" so Trump goes "we waste billions on Elon!" so Elon goes "Epstein!" and a corpulent flunkie goes "Deport Elon!" and Elon goes "Impeach!"
And THAT'S why women are too emotional to be President.
