Dog rescuer, software developer; trying to stay sane in the age of Trump, while not abdicating the obligation to protect the most vulnerable.

The core of a narcissist is self loathing. When his cabinet praises him for expertise he doesn’t have, it makes him despise them, (tho he demands it) and amplifies his imposter syndrome. When Mamdani flatters the identity he believes *could* be real (I.e. he knows real estate), it nourishes him.

This confirms my theory how Mamdani originally charmed him: “I’m coming to you as a famous New Yorker and builder and asking for your ideas for NY.” It flatters Trump’s core identity and Is his comfort zone. Then Mamdani just has to listen to the dumb ideas and act intrigued.

Donald Trump wants to take away some of our 12 federal holidays. Mike Johnson just gave congress a 41 day PAID vacation, after they’ve only worked 71 days all year.

If Democrats could deliver a clear, rational and unified plan on AI(tax, regulate, and take sociopathic billionaires out of the driver’s seat) they would win the house, senate, and all open offices from Governor down to dog catcher.

The federal government “can’t afford” helping with childcare and Americans should be satisfied with two dolls per child and a “tortilla, piece of chicken, piece of broccoli, and one other thing” for their meals, but we can afford war and to illegally interfere to prop up a Putin-loving dictator.

I would rather that my tax dollars NOT go to supporting a foreign dictator and Putin ally. -- Sigh.

This is Milka. She'll get around to chasing her tail eventually. But for now she is just getting to know it. 12/10 (TT: milka_collie5)

I am convinced that Donald Trump’s obsession with “rare earth minerals” is entirely because of the name and not because he understands what they are for. The biggest rush for rare earth minerals is for their use in green energy production and storage, which he doesn’t give a shit about.

The State Department is considering ending Zambia’s HIV aid to force it to give the U.S. more access to its minerals. Some 1.3 million people in the country rely on daily HIV treatment provided through a decades-old U.S. aid program. nyti.ms/4rzh8fE

DHS claimed "an ICE agent had fired 'defensive shots' into Martinez's vehicle after Martinez 'intentionally ran over' another agent." But body cam video now "shows that Martinez's vehicle, a blue Ford Fusion, was stationary or going at a very low rate of speed when he was fatally shot."

Bodycam video contradicts ICE claims in fatal shooting of U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas

Video of last year's fatal shooting of Ruben Ray Martinez obtained by CBS News appears to contradict claims that Martinez was shot by an ICE agent because he "accelerated" and "intentionally ran over"...
