Defending Democracy. Life in the woods. Darling dogs and cats. Photography and cozy life are my hobbies. Let’s make it better for those that come after us.

Crockett: "Now my colleagues want to be the protectors of girls & women. I didn't hear them screaming this when Renee Good was killed in the middle of the street by the same people the vast majority of you just voted to give more money to. It was a lot of crickets, including about the Esptein files"

This should have been the case long before they killed two Americans. Border patrol agents should never have been sent in masks and camo to wreak havoc and aimlessly run around a state 1,500 miles from the Southern border. apnews.com/article/immi...

What the hell is this, @cnn.com? Are you telling me that the people who work in your editing bay don't know that the word is "Democratic," and that using "Democrat" as an adjective in this way is a slur with a long history? Get your shit together. You are embarrassing yourselves.

This part! REP. SUBRAMANYAM: “If you were friends with Jeffrey Epstein and you associated with him multiple times, you knew about his crimes and you knew that something was wrong.” “Not only did Jeffrey Epstein commit these crimes, he showed them off to his friends and associates.”

McCONNELL said Trump's Truth Social post was essentially an admission of his "intent to defy the court order when he said 'SNAP payments will be given only when the government opens.' As a result "people will go hungry, food pantries will be burdened and … suffering will occur."

No. Neither Zelenskyy nor Ukrainian People can end russia’s war, because neither Zelenskyy nor Ukrainians invaded anyone. To “continue the fight,” to continue to defend yourself, your families, your children is not a choice it’s a duty. For pootihn & russia, this is a war of choice, for 🇺🇦 it isn’t.

Then, by George, 2025 reaches the pinnacle of white, male resentment: a full-on assault of democracy for sharing power with people they believe they’re better than. Except Trump’s con is that he hasn’t given power back to these bros. He's just further funneled it into the pockets of billionaires.

The Republicans have convinced these white males to continue to vote Republican (which continues to allow the rich to steal from the middle class). So every year, these white men get poorer & more powerless, but continually feel resentful to Democrats for “sharing” with people of color.

It’s possible that they believe they have less - because people of color & women have been getting more. They scapegoat Democrats, because they believe Democratic policies give away what they have to POC But the truth is, they have less because the 1% has been stealing from the middle class.

Do I believe this high volatility was created by an insanely high hero mythos that white men have envisioned themselves as (through movies, TV, & books). Yes. But the volatility of billionaires robbing them blind every day for the past 50 years really set the stage for the discontent extremism.

Trump has convinced them to blame everybody else for their defects- Because he shares the same psychology of inferiority/superiority. And he, too, dreams of being great. He just can't achieve it because he's such a dud. So he spends all of his time deflecting his failures away & attacking others.

MAGA are low self-esteem white males, with the hero mythos - waiting for someone to lead them to the greatness *over others* that they felt they always deserved. Except that their failure to be great are both natural defects (mediocrity) ... And powerlessness created by being robbed by the 1%.

But that’s why the volatility of the billionaires constantly robbing us - while feeding the grievances of these powerless white males… Makes such a dangerous, violent demographic that just isn’t dangerous and volatile in other countries. The men here ARE more volatile.

Remarkable new poll from PRRI finds that 52% of Americans, a majority, see Trump as a "dangerous dictator" who is threatening to "destroy American democracy." On the pod, PRRI's Melissa Deckman digs deep into this data and much more: newrepublic.com/article/1945...

Dreams? Hopes for the future? Individual aspirations? Nah. In the new America Lutnick and the Trump administration envision, we work for the rich until the day we die and then pass our jobs on to our kids as their inheritance.
Lutnick: "It's time to train people not to do the jobs of the past, but to do the great jobs of the future. This is the new model where you work in these kinds of plants for the rest of your life and your kids work here and your grandkids work here. We let the auto plants go overseas."
