They are pure evil!
56 right wingers made news for crimes against children in just the month of October 2025. This is not normal! (text surrounding thumbnail photos of various people) (at the bottom is a picture of Trump and Epstein)

L It’s a kind of political camouflage — digest the threat by complimenting it. Mamdani doesn’t take the bait. He doesn’t fight. He doesn’t flatter. He just continues speaking plainly. Which leaves Trump in the one position he hates most: performing civility for an audience that isn’t fooled. What the meeting really showed The full interview isn’t about Mamdani calling Trump a fascist. It’s not about Trump pretending to be gracious. It’s not about a progressive mayor meeting an authoritarian president. What the meeting showed is simpler and more damning: Trump is only powerful when the room fears him. Take the fear away, and he becomes oddly gentle, strangely polite, and completely unable to dominate the conversation. 5 People think tyrants rage because they’re strong. But the truth is they only rage when they know the room will absorb it. Mamdani didn’t absorb it. So Trump didn’t rage. He folded. Nicely. Neatly. Like a man who knows the cameras are watching and doesn’t want the world to see what he looks like when the mask cracks. And if there’s a lesson here for the rest of the country, it’s this: Fear is the oxygen of authoritarianism. Take it away, and even a strongman starts to sound like a man. But Mamdani doesn’t react to any of it. And that is the first hinge of the meeting. A man like Trump needs emotional feedback to function. Fear works. Flattery works. Even anger works. Mamdani gives him nothing. He sits there with the calm of someone who refuses to let the other person set the emotional tempo. It’s a small thing, but with Trump, it’s enough to break the cycle. Then comes the shift — the “gracious Trump” phase. People mistake this for maturity or diplomacy. It’s not. It’s a reflex Trump only deploys when he can’t dominate the room. The tone goes soft, the eyebrows lift, the compliments come out in forced, syrupy bursts. “You’re doing great work.” “New York is lucky to have you.” “You’re a very smart guy.” 6 It sounds statesmanlike until you remember the same man called him a communist threat two weeks earlier. What’s happening here isn’t respect — it’s adaptation. A chameleon trying to match the color of the wall. Trump is gracious when graciousness benefits Trump. As Mamdani shifts to policy, Trump drifts into autobiography. This is the most telling stretch — minutes twelve to eighteen. Mamdani tries to talk like a mayor-elect: transit housing Rikers federal cooperation immigrant protections Real issues, real stakes, real governance. Trump responds by vanishing into his own mythology. Crime statistics from memory that don’t exist. Grievances about prosecutors. Stories from “the old days.” Complaints about how unfairly he’s been treated. It’s not sabotage — it’s incapacity. Mamdani is speaking a civic language Trump’s brain can’t decode. They aren’t having the same conversation. They aren’t even on the same continent. Then comes the moment everyone’s dissecting — the “fascistic tendencies” line. And yes, it happened in the room, not after. Mamdani doesn’t weaponize the word. He doesn’t turn it into a headline. He does something more dangerous: he analytically names the pattern. Immigrant raids. Political retribution. Targeting dissent. Erosion of checks and balances. Threats against the judiciary. He lays out the evidence and names the behavior: fascistic tendencies. Trump nods and smiles like someone being told he has an excellent golf swing. It’s not bravado. It’s not denial. It’s something almost sadder: he doesn’t understand the language of critique unless it’s blunt and emotional. Mamdani moved the discussion into the realm of political analysis, and Trump’s instincts don’t live there. So he simply… accepts it. Not because he agrees, but because he can’t absorb what the words actually mean. The last ten minutes are the clearest portrait of Trump’s psyche. Once Mamdani refuses to bend, Trump compensates by overcorrecting into flattery: “You’re …

Just in – we’re hearing Donald Trump may not pardon the Thanksgiving turkey at the White House this year because the turkey is having trouble raising the $2 million pardons cost. This is a developing story. Picture of Donald Trump pardoning a white turkey at the White House from 2020.

I wish every state would do that
A post from @twoharvards: Massachusetts takes a page out of the Trump Republican playbook— using their official website to spread a message about the government shutdown— except Massachusetts tells the truth NOTICES AND ALERTS: President Trump is currently choosing to NOT issue November SNAP benefits that help you and many families put food on the table.

And the neo-christofascists were the ones the constitution was trying to protect us against!!
Separation of church and state wasn’t started by atheists. It was demanded by persecuted Christians. In colonial America, Baptists and other protestant dissenters were jailed, find and beaten for preaching without state approval they fought for freedom by another churches beliefs. Their struggle inspired Jefferson and Madison to write the first amendment so that no one’s faith another’s freedom again.

I have a few natural suggestions…
Stop decorating with plastic skeletons, they’re bad for the environment. Natural is a better more eco-friendly alternative.
