1. Eric Adams visited Mar-o-lago. 2. One week later,DOJ is in “talks” about dropping charges against him. 3. Trump just hired a big shot law firm from NYC to overturn his convictions. Can anyone connect the dots here?

With the extreme weather, more communities will face the issue of not being able to get or afford home insurance. That’s a ticking 💣 for the entire nation. What is Trump administrators doing about it. Revoking little effort of even tracking the data. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/22/c...

P2/ I’m the first generation immigrants from mainland China. Among my former Chinese friends and acquaintances, it is more likely than not someone is a Trump supporter. Many of them are heavily influenced by Chinese language media that are sponsored by anti-CPC organizations and individuals.

www.nytimes.com/2024/11/22/m... A film made by a Chinese filmmaker, Nandi Wang, about Cuban activist Rosa María Payá fighting communist authoritarian. The twist here is Paya ended up supporting Trump. This is actually not a unique phenomenon at all.

3/ it took me a while to think through this. My conclusion is when you fight communism, we just assume democracy is the only way out. No, actually there is a second way out, that is fascism. When you are so desperate to change the regime, you look for a strong man that promises overnight changes.

You are up to date.
