Power attracts pathological personalities.

"All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts pathological personalities...Such people have a tendency to become drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted."

"Look no further than his policy trail. He froze aid to Ukraine and has threatened to place sanctions on them, while planning to lift sanctions off Russia. He openly campaigned for anti-EU candidates, and sided with Russia in multiple key United Nations votes related to the Ukraine conflict". #Trump

Trump & Musk in the US, Farage & Reform in the UK, far‑right leaders across Europe. After taking control of the USA, Putin now intensifies his attack on the EU.

Measles outbreaks are spreading across the U.S., and we are likely to lose our status as a country where the disease is eliminated, something that disease specialists say is directly related to Trump’s appointment of RFK Jr. as secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services.

With this latest mass shooting at Brown University, this might be a good time to mention that Bill Clinton’s assault weapons ban reduced mass shooting deaths by 43% - but after George W Bush & Republicans let it expire, mass shooting deaths spiked by 239%.

Trump is live tweeting the Brown University mass shooting, and he isn’t even getting the details correct.
This is appalling.
People are scared. Families aren’t sure if their kids have been hurt.
The President must let law enforcement do their job.

If you’re looking for something to do, start working on overturning citizens united in your state. States control the power corporations have. Take their political power away with a ballot initiative. Here’s how: open.substack.com/pub/robertre...
How to Get Rid of "Citizens United"
We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.
