15 years in the Air Force, retired college professor, and now full of snark. Too many bots and trolls out there, so I don’t DM, sorry.

This is part of what is wrong with the current Democratic “leadership”: “Leaders who are endlessly “nice” may acknowledge issues – burnout, inequity, dysfunction – without ever addressing root causes. The performance of concern substitutes for change.”
A scientific explanation for MAGA’s love of religion and conspiracy theories. “The strongest predictor of conspiracy thinking wasn’t education, age, or intelligence. It was a low tolerance for ambiguity. People who struggle with uncertainty tend to dislike complex, messy explanations. ”
Trump did this. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 “In a healthy economy, people quit for better-paying roles, driving wage growth for everyone. Today, however, workers are “clinging on” to the jobs they have out of sheer fear, Swonk said. ”
Oh shit! Trump and Project 2025 is about this: “If you’re in a system that is about rules, then this looks irrational because it’s not following the rules. But if it’s a system that’s about status and hierarchy dominance, it’s if it’s Game of Thrones, then it makes perfect sense.”
How is this different from the Trump family pillaging our tax coffers?

“Trump’s…policies – ranging from his attempted coup against the United States five years ago, to his incursion into Venezuela last weekend, to his current threats against Cuba, Colombia, and Greenland – undermine domestic and international law.” Bottom line: the US is now one of the bullies.
We’ll, we women knew this day was coming. As the first woman officer to serve (and usually the only one in the building) during my first 4 assignments, it’s a sad day to see so much sacrifice and service to go to waste.
“Refusing such cooperation [from South American governments] is not merely an incidental vice of Trump’s foreign policy. That vice is at its core. Military action in Venezuela today without allies may prefigure action tomorrow against allies—for example, to invade and annex Greenland.”
Wouldn’t it be nice if Trump did the same?
“Trump’s moves to assert U.S. dominance in the Western Hemisphere and pull back from Europe could embolden Russia and China.” That’s the plan: divide world influence between the three members of the Axis of Evil.
Time for Mexico to start negotiations with South and central American countries to form an alliance to counter USA aggression. NATO needs to remove the USA from its treaty so they are not required to help protect the US when the attacked countries fight back.
Hate has a way of metastazing. “But in recent months, X has lost its ability to unite the right. Instead, it’s increasingly the place where Trump supporters turn on each other.”
More proof the Republican Party has become the Pedo Party.
WTF this man is going to start WWIII.

Those data centers aren’t a win for consumers. “But worse still, according to Fowler, he also learned that the more coffee he bought the fewer discounts he received. In effect, Starbucks was running a reverse loyalty program: the more he bought the more he paid.”

“46% of bankruptcies are related to medical bills.” (finmasters.com/personal-ban...) This is what happens when you privatize essential services.
Well at least this is something we no longer need to worry about, as we will all be starving.
GOP and their billionaire buddies want us on a pay-to-live subscription: 100 month car loans, 50 year mortgages…
