Yes. It’s called social murder. We have a regime of social murderers who don’t care who dies, unless it’s their followers.

Trump’s deprivation efforts = his ability to control a desperate people. Just like how cults recruit people in a vulnerable place (heartbreak, financial ruin, etc.)

When they take it personally instead of answer the question, you already know the answer.

Kurzgesagt prides itself on fact-based, credible sources & sentient artists in their educational videos. Case in point 👇

The band of unqualified, billionaire nepo hires in the White House + the problem of producing "whatever sells" over competence = an AI slop era.

Policy needs to > technology/$$$

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

I loved that at the end of Hegseths speech, he walked off stage to total silence. Not a single person in that audience clapped or made a sound.

I would hope that Hegseth was completely embarrassed, but you have to have self awareness for that.

Trump says he’s authorized Hegseth to use “Full Force” against Antifa in “War ravaged” Portland
At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists. I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

The college kids who protested the Vietnam war back when are back in full force, flooding the protests because they know what nationalist bullshit looks like.

We, as a society cannot let this era just pass. There must be consequences for this Nazi revival shit which I, for one, will be fighting to see happen. No due process for one = due process for their offender.

The circumstances of Mr. Escobar's arrest are even worse than the brief summary above. He repeatedly tried to tell the immigration officials that he had papers while they were arresting him.

In response, a federal agent said "No you don't. You are illegal," and "Shut up, bitch! You're illegal."
For example, on August 21, 2025, plain-clothed and unidentified federal agents arrested Mr. Escobar Molina without a warrant while he was getting in his truck to go to work. They did not ask for his name or his identification or ask anything about his immigration status, where he lives, whom he lives with, how long he has lived here, or anything else about his ties to the community. The agents immediately handcuffed Mr. Escobar Molina, grabbed him by the arms and legs, and called him “illegal” repeatedly. When he responded that he has “papers” (in other words, immigration status), they replied, “No you don’t. You are illegal.” After the agents put Mr. Escobar Molina into a vehicle, when Mr. Escobar Molina told them again that he had “papers,” the driver of the car yelled at him, “Shut up, bitch! You’re illegal.” The agents did not make an individualized determination about Mr. Escobar Molina’s immigration status or flight risk before they arrested him. While Mr. Escobar Molina was in detention, ICE fingerprinted and interviewed [excerpt ends there].

"...after sixty years in and around politics...I’m old enough to have witnessed the great sleeping giant of America awaken before."

Robert Reich cites the downfall of Joe McCarthy, the Vietnam war, and Richard Nixon, saying he's feeling that vibe again now.

As always, I'm cautiously optimistic.
The sleeping giant is awakening
After a week of authoritarian excess, the nation is turning on Trump

"Han reportedly denied the charges during the five-hour hearing, insisting she has no interest in politics, does not know much about it and never gave money to any politician."

That's like saying a dog has no interest in sniffing butts.
