Seemingly demure Chris is a quietly opinionated old hag who loves causing a stir. Her writing uses examples from her own life and in history in an effort to 'penetrate' and explore the inhuman, unequal nonsense surrounding us all. Left Twitter years ago.

Dictators like Trump depend upon fear to enforce loyalty. Once defections start, it can be hard to get people back into line.

In the last month or so, we’ve seen defections from MTG, all of Congress on Epstein and leaders on Venezuela, and Indiana on gerrymandering.

That’s a sea change.

The Pope will kick ass
“Over the past year, the Trump-Vance White House has ratcheted up a campaign against the Catholic Church’s work with immigrants.

The latest target is Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley (CCRGV) in South Texas, which runs a famed humanitarian respite center for migrant families.”
Trump-Vance White House Targets Beloved Nun in Texas, Retaliates Against Catholic Charities
Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley — praised by Pope Leo as an “agent of hope” — now faces a six-year federal funding ban. Church leaders say it’s a vendetta by the Trump-Vance White House.

Trump is the weak one. The White Nationalist have been busy escalating criticism of European leaders, saying migration policies have "destroyed" key nations and weakened support for Ukraine.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara apologies to the US citizen who was brutally detained by ICE.

“This is embarrassing”.

ICE is embarrassing America.

That’s why tourist revenue is down.

That’s why people don’t want to visit.

That’s why there’s boycotts.

It’s an embarrassment & a danger.

I suspect we’ll be seeing quite a bit of that claim as the walls close in on a whole lot of traitors around the world.

“I had no idea.”

More people need to see this:

tldr; (or is it tldw?)

1. Break the monopoly authoritarian propaganda has on strong emotions

2. Deliver facts that improve people's lives and inspire agency

In January, the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services will roll out a pilot program that will use AI to review Medicare patients' requests for care.

Insurers will get rewarded when they deny care.

What could go wrong?
