🧵Shock Doctrine is a social control strategy that uses recurrent shocks to make people feel overwhelmed & easier to conquer. To inflict suffering, push us into submission, or prompt us to rise up against our oppression in a way the fascist regime can use as an excuse to institute martial law.

Just ask: "What would FDR do if he suddenly reappeared?"

People Are Furious With Democrats. Bernie Sanders Knows Why.

Democratic Party leadership is way out of touch with where the American people are, and it’s almost frightening to see the kind of anger and contempt that people feel toward it.

If I were a Mainer, and I'm not a Mainer, and the Senate election were today, I'd vote for Graham Platner to take on Susan Collins. Simply put, I can't think of a metric by which Janet Mills would be better against Collins, better for Maine, or better for the Democratic Party than Platner. THREAD.

Painting by Nikkolas Smith. It depicts the last thing pre-Med graduate Atatiana Jefferson was doing before she was killed by the cops just for leaving her door open on a hot night.

Trump gave an unprecedented security guarantee to Qatar after an Israeli attack -- that American troops would protect Qatar.

Wonder what his America First cult thinks about that?

The Supreme Court rejected Alex Jones bid to overturn the $1.4 billion dollar award to Sandy Hook families for pretending their dead children were crisis actors and siccing his rabid fan base on grieving parents. Pay up Alex!

It is. I feel a tide is turning though. I'm excited to see how many people turn out for the No Kings rallies on Saturday.

Blowing bubbles in the living room during a hurricane
I imagine most of them are happy to be in here
to live their short lives as long as possible
floating leisurely on the soft bed of humidity
except for that one,
who hurries to the window
imagining the shortest wild ride of his life

I love to do it when stopped at stop lights too. It's perfect then.

Have you used the plasticized bubbles? Those things are pretty sturdy. Though no bubble can handle car speeds when driving. I actually wrote a poem that is kinda about that during Hurricane Matthew. Let me see if I can find it...

Thank you! I did not know about this. I appreciate you educating me.

Caroleeena @caroleeena.bsky.social · 3h

I am so hopeful for that!!!

Sadly I'm not sure that guy has any integrity or spine. He's from California's district that is being gerrymandered so he's not likely to get re-elected, especially after doing nothing for the people but go along with Trump ... until now.

Also, TRUMP told an audience his biggest bribes to write US policy for ISRAEL FIRST came from THE ADELSONS. He said this. Out loud. On stage.

Caroleeena @caroleeena.bsky.social · 17h

What is something that brought you Joy today?

For me, it was (hold on to your butts) the NEWS! Trump was humiliated to his face in Israel, Kristi Noem and Pete Hegseth both got shut down by refusals to obey today AND a second republican has broken with Mike Johnson.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

Well it's officially fall. It's getting chilly. I woke up to three kitties on me.

Mike Johnson sure has been getting the word out. The only thing he's done to help the people.

Trump hates the picture Time Magazine used of him. What he calls a "crown" I call "devil horns". Anyway, glad he hates he. He always wanted to be on Time. He used to even post fake Time covers of him at his golf clubs.

Seems the Narcissist-in-Chief is mad about the Time Mag cover neckgina pic so please don’t share it widely

Thank you for your attention to this matter
