Empathy is the lubricant and fuel for doing larger and greater things together. It's the connective tissue of any community project.
Selfishness is your survival instinct.
Sociopathy is indulging in selfishness and using empathy only in service to your own goals.

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position
He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

Another franchise we’re watching is the empire of bad guys in Batman gathering the most evil dictators, releasing the criminals with which he finds common cause and a cabinet of cartoonish, incompetent villains.
Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

A friend from the VA just sent this and asked me to share. PMDB is Prevention and Management of Disruptive Behavior in the workplace. THIS is the real war against women: being forced to say there are only 2 genders but not being allowed to mention 96% of violence is perpetrated by men.

This is why you fight these cowards.
The moment you stand up to them, they crumble.
Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights.
He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Huh, it appears that pressuring Democratic lawmakers to take some sort of action actually does work.

a nice reminder to the press that there is nothing you can do to pacify these people or buy yourself leniency
this appears to be based entirely on subscriptions for Politico Pro that many govt agencies pay for. but it doesn't matter, this is now fact for roughly half the country for eternity and will be used to do whatever they want.

People have to start seeing through these petty, insecure, narcissists with a god complex because they've never been held accountable.
Musk chose the young as henchmen because they won't question him & are ignorant of legal consequences. A 40yo would have balked—it's also why we send 18yos to war.

I’m sure the people who said we were wrong about raising concerns about Project 2025 will be contrite about that soon. Maybe when they’re directly hurt by it and not when empathy would be required to assess the damage to others. 1/7
