We are probably never going to create a population that is "immune" to propaganda. Human beings are too social, emotional and tribal for that, and propaganda is continually adapted to those characteristics.
Goodbye 1936! Dethroned after all these years. July 2026 is now the hottest month ever in the US, by a small margin, due to El Niรฑo on top of long term warming. 1936 was an incredibly hot summer - many city all-time records were set and still exist from that year. But there are two key points: 1/

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

Just a reminder of what they did that caused this. Trump is the GOP
There are priorities, and then there are *PRIORITIES*. This current regime is actively destroying our own country AND much of the rest of the world. We need to fix that first. We can't do anything for anyone else if we are this broken.
Iโm a one issue voter this time around. That issue is preserving this republic. And Democrats are the only one fighting for it. We should be fighting Donald and Republicans, no each other. Focus people. Itโs Constitutional republic vs Fascism. We can work on the rest after saving it.
It's remarkable that you have not just incredibly stupid people like this. But whole movements based on this stupidity. Having your currency as a global reserve currency means that the whole global economy is structured to your advantage and most hard constraints that everyone faces you don't.

Movements can still find people on social media. But the real organizing has to happen somewhere else โ and getting people there is the part we keep skipping.

A REAL Social Truth. President Joe Biden stepped into a railroad car in Poland, traveled for TEN (10) HOURS to Ukraine to meet with President Zelenskyy to show his support & solidarity. His courage & fortitude made us proud. The contrast to the current temporary WH occupant couldnโt be greater.

Q: What's your thoughts on the state's THC ban? KEN PAXTON: Uhm. I don't know the details of it, but let's talk later. (Paxton is currently being sued because he's trying to enforce Texas's ban to the maximum extent possible, so this is a lie!)
