Every form of government rots into its corrupt twin, Greek historian Polybius argued in 160 BCE — Monarchy → Tyranny. Aristocracy → oligarchy. Democracy → Mob rule. How? Via despotism, corruption & populism. Does this cycle still hold up? (via instagram user @historycoolkids)

Diagram titled "Cycles of Political Revolution" illustrating Polybius's theory of anacyclosis from his Histories, circa 160 BCE. A wave-like timeline shows six forms of government in repeating sequence: Monarchy (rule by one) decays via despotism into Tyranny (rule by cruelty and oppression); revolution of the nobles leads to Aristocracy (rule by nobility), which decays via corruption into Oligarchy (rule by the powerful rich); revolution of the people leads to Democracy (rule by many), which decays via populism into Demagogy and then Ochlocracy (rule by mobs), ending in moral panic and reversion to tyranny, restarting the cycle.Scatter chart titled "Ebola: How Contagious & Deadly is it?" plotting case fatality rate against R0 (people infected per case) for various diseases. Ebola sits at ~50% fatality, R0 ~2 — high on both axes. Comparisons include bird flu (~58%, R0 1), MERS (~35%, R0 1), smallpox (~30%, R0 5), measles (~1%, R0 9), and common cold (~0%, R0 low). Note: the 2026 D.R.C. outbreak involves Bundibugyo Ebola, which has no current vaccine.

Aid rises from about $60M in 2001 to a peak near $1.27B in 2024, then drops sharply to about $130M by 2026. Inflation-adjusted; data as of May 20, 2026. Source: New York Times.

Should we call your member of Congress about this, Rep. Lieu @reptedlieu.bsky.social? Being "highly disturbed" by something and asking the press to look into it is not honoring the oath of office you swore. Is he unfit for office? Impeach him. history.house.gov/Institution/...

Ted Lieu: “Donald Trump is in the Epstein files thousands and thousands of times. In those files, there are highly disturbing allegations of Donald Trump raping children … of Donald Trump threatening to kill children. So I encourage the press to go look at these allegations.”

President Trump promised to end wars, not start them. His lies dragged our country into an illegal war in Iran, where we have spent billions of dollars that could have been used to help hard working American families.

Lately, the Democrats have begun openly questioning military aid to Israel, but that isn't enough. Rather, Americans must demand an arms embargo and targeted sanctions to achieve a small measure of justice for all of Zionism’s victims. mondoweiss.net/2026/04/endi...

The "God Squad" voted unanimously to remove protections for Gulf animals, for "security." It's not the first time federal agencies cited the "energy emergency" to avoid rules meant to protect animals.
