The United States has no checks and balances. The SCOTUS is corrupt, our congress is useless and Republicans are too cowardly to do their jobs.

We have committed war crimes and violated international laws under the Trump administration.

It’s pure insanity. We’re no longer a super power, we suck.

I love my country and believe in the ideals of America and our democracy, and I call on democracies around the world like Canada, Mexico, England, France, Germany, Denmark, etc to launch sanctions against us. It is time. Trump is out of control.

“What do we call it when a stronger person decides to rob a weaker person because he can? It is just gangsterism. We are the most dangerous gangsters in the world today. Not in the sense of being charming rogues or alluring antiheroes. We are the bad guys.”
We Are the Bad Guys
The swaggering threat to global stability is us.

I wish there was a strong democratic nation out there who would capture Trump and restore democracy to the U.S.

Unpopular opinion:

The real villain(s) of the Jodi Hildebrandt & Rube Franke horror show are all the people who saw this happening in real-time on the internet and did NOTHING EXCEPT COMPLAIN ON THE INTERNET.

This didn't have to go as far as it did. These were kids FFS.

If the Epstein Files fiasco has taught us anything, it is that the so-called Civil War is not about Left vs Right.

It is the wealthy Elite vs the Everyday American.

There a legal double-standard being applied here. One rulebook for the wealthy, and a much harsher version for the rest of us.

“Advice: Build daily habits that balance feeling and reason: schedule time for observation, caregiving, work, and rest. Seek the practical mean—neither numb detachment nor paralyzing sorrow—guided by prudence and steady, repeatable routines.”

“Advice: Honor your father through steady, respectful presence—simple routines of care, listening, and gentleness become living rites that sustain both of you. Let your view from above inspire compassion below: turn observation into humane regard, without judgment.”
October 25, 2025 at 7:52 AM
“Advice: Watch the city breathe without clinging—allow grief and wonder to arise and pass. In caring for your father, act with effortless kindness; reduce resistance to “what should be” and meet “what is” lightly, with space for both pain and ease.”
October 25, 2025 at 7:49 AM
“Advice: Practice mindful breathing when overwhelm rises; name feelings—grief, fear, helplessness—without self-judgment. Offer compassion to yourself, your father, and those under the bridge; small acts of kindness relieve suffering, including your own.”
October 25, 2025 at 7:47 AM
“Advice: Hold your losses with dignity; speak kindly, even when tired. Look for small, concrete ways to help—one person, one moment at a time. Keep your bearings: acknowledge uncertainty, yet take the next humane step.”

Watching the Cleveland Browns lose week after week because they are so afraid of looking foolish - like they will when they finally put Shedeur Sanders in - is hilarious. This Gabriel kid is terrible.

Authoritarianism doesn’t begin with tanks in the streets– it often begins with a story. We break down a dangerous new disinformation campaign from the White House designed to turn “radical left violence” from a talking point into a political weapon.
