You can ignore reality, hide it, avoid it, promote a fake version, but one of the Very Few absolutes of this universe is that reality ALWAYS wins. NO EXCEPTIONS. You may get away with your refusal of reality or your fake version for awhile. But reality will HUNT YOU DOWN. And WIN. NO EXCEPTIONS.

Something like a year ago a government study was ready to get published. It concluded that the net economic impact of immigrants was $63Bper year - net BENEFIT! Stephen Miller saw it and got it pulled before it was published. Can't have FACTS muddying the output of our propaganda machine, can we?

There is a group of people that believe they are put out by immigrants. Immigrants have never done anything to infringe on them. These people have been told that they have been left out b/c of immigrants taking from them. It’s been drilled into them to make them hate & want them gone.

Do not be surprised if(when) a congress with a spine is in office, and demands the Epstein files finally be released in full, that they're nowhere to be found - because 47's henchmen destroyed them all. Which is why ethical fed workers - in multiple agencies - need to be hiding backups....

It's a rage-bait headline. Real story: FEMA canvassers MUST consider "safety concerns," which were ill-defined. Such concerns are common, MOST OFTEN INVOLVING GUNS. Judgement call. If this was 'wrong,' how the [bleep] is 47 denying help to blue states right? www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2026...

"We are an open book here." "We are working in very good faith. And we just want to help you." NO. If you loudly announce 100s of 1000s of non-citizen voters, then whisper your 'oops' when the real number is in the 100s, THAT'S LYING YOUR ASS OFF. To rig elections! www.npr.org/2026/08/25/n...

DHS acknowledges the noncitizen numbers it touted on voter rolls were inflated

The Trump administration claimed to have found 250,000 noncitizens on the voter rolls in four states. But the agency's communications with states since then indicate that data was preliminary.

Big Think: Homo sapiens has existed for 50k years. Only in the last Very Few generations have we become so capable we can broadly affect - or end - all future generations. We still do stupid, species-ending things because that makes us money NOW. Economists are now in a position to save humanity.

Here's reality: Tech bros LOVE the idea of being 'disrupters'. They get to do big things, break all sorts of stuff along the way and make Big Money. It's all about them. But when the scale reaches laying off half of the GLOBAL workforce - rapidly - you break ALL OF SOCIETY. Even the tech bros.

I am astonished by the actions that are being tolerated. This is not reflective of the United States. The U.S. government is behaving similarly to aggressive nations like China, Russia, or North Korea. 😠😡🤬

I'm an American. Why, in sharing this, am I aiding Canada to retaliate against us? Because inferior beings think and act to support their tribe, no matter what. They call that loyalty, patriotism, etc. Superior beings know right from wrong and act accordingly. NO EXCEPTIONS.

a billionaire promises a working city on the moon by the early 2030s. propose housing everyone already on earth and suddenly it's unrealistic, too expensive, decades away. space isn't the ambitious part. it's just the part where the payoff stays private.

There's A LOT more to this story. I get it, cutting off parents who refuse to accept who a child is is, in many cases, a necessary escape from a toxic environment. But there was already a well-documented increase in family estrangement - no LGBTQ issues involved - where parents are rightly baffled.

Curious where this level of scolding is when parents cut off their children for being trans or gay, which is a phenomenon that by every metric is far more prevalent.
