Remember that those at the top of an existing system are fiercely committed to preserving the status quo and their positions of power, and they will strongly oppose any meaningful change. They will come up with 212 reasons why things should stay the same & hope you buy just one.

It's amazing to see how materially worse things are for so many now vs. five years ago, considering we were in the middle of a raging global pandemic back then.
The reason why this is such a slow burn to the obvious conclusion is that members of the American majority are blinded by the idea of American Exceptionalism. Because this same group can't bear the slightest discomfort with the truth, the willful ignorance continues, and here we stay.
There can no longer be any doubt that the current President of the United States is compromised by one or more hostile foreign nations.
David makes a good point here: We have zero evidence that Trump's supporters will abandon him. History shows us the opposite, but there are various reasons why the Epstein issue feels different. I won't comment on those but let's play this out to get a potential real-world idea how things may go....
People getting gleeful over the latest Epstein reveal seem to be forgetting that Trump has been convicted in a civil court of sexual assault and was still elected. His base don’t really care that the man is clearly a pedo.
Self-described heroin addict, steroid user and eater of roadkill is speaking on nutritional guidance and food culture.
RFK Jr: "President Trump is revising the dietary guidelines which is gonna dramatically change the food culture in this country."
Shame is a hell of a go-to strategy at the moment. 🙃
Hassan: My vote was to do two things: 1) Make sure the government is functioning… 2) continue the fight to a realistic platform to get the premium tax cuts done. If that is not successful, then shame on the Republican Party and shame on Donald Trump.
Note the timing of this Dem capitulation: Not when Americans are in food pantry lines, only when they're in TSA lines. And there it is, folks. The AA CEO made the call.
It's really up to you at this point. It has always been. Stiffen your spine & find some courage to be uncomfortable.
Strength training is political. We have a right-wing which has taken over physical fitness spaces, and hijacked “warrior culture”. We need a muscular progressivist visions. We need to be strong to build the world we want. Building my guns for the revolution. 💪🏾✊🏾 #Swoletariat #ResistanceTraining”
Got to love the Secretary of Health & Human Services immediately fleeing the scene.
RFK Jr's response to someone collapsing nearby him was to haul ass out of the room as quickly as possible
As the holiday season approaches, remember that it can be tough for many. Many EAPs now offer text-based therapy, which is effective and helps reduce the stigma around #mentalhealth. Consider trying it or sharing with a colleague! www.nytimes.com/2025/10/30/h...

"The world is a dangerous place... because of the people who don't do anything about it". "Land of the free, home of the brave". "A time comes when silence is betrayal". -Two truths and one big lie.
Keep in mind that Americans often delay doing the right thing until it is absolutely necessary. We will get there, but it will unfortunately take some time.
If we could just let go of the myth of American Exceptionalism, the truth would become astonishingly clear in no time. #TrumpTariffs
A thief breaks a home window & makes off w/ some valuables. Comes back the next day and breaks another window & robs the place again. The homeowner decides to leave the door open to avoid any more broken windows. Chuck Schumer is the head of the household. #ShutItDown

Unpopular opinion: Spotting at the elbows during a dumbbell press increases the likelihood of the weight caving the face in. Spot at wrists > Spot at elbows.
The difference is striking & impossible to ignore. Standing on business vs. Sitting in privilege.

An overarching goal is to break govt, point out to Americans "see it's not working". This permits them to auction government segments to their highest-bidding billionaire friends (We need the private industry to fix it) & Americans will fall for it because they are shortsighted.
Great, simple message: "Strength Training is for everyone". LIFT. THE. WEIGHTS. #fitness #weightlifting #health www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/r...

That feeling you can't shake is the fact that you know we are quietly & willingly walking into fascism.
If people are willing to embrace fascism because they believe the Mad King gave them their favorite app back, perhaps we don't deserve a democracy after all. #tiktokban
