At least Trump got a free jet and a $5.5 billion golf resort in Qatar, so there’s that.

Religion?
You should be introspective and say to yourself, “what have you done to make humanity better?”
Realise that religion doesn’t,because it’s already defining you from birth.
Take your shoes off.. walk in mud sand or water.. it’s the only precious gift we have.
Life.
We are here that’s enough

"It's innevitable."

"Adapt or die."

"Embrace it or get left behind."

"The genie is out of the bottle."

"It'll get better, just wait."

"This is the worst it will ever be."

These things are said to get you to believe/fear you don't have agency to resist, question & criticize.

Of course..
we are feeling the first weeds of “nationalism” here in the UK, more England.
They are pushing the agenda.. they need to LOSE. Big time.

the defining image of the early 21st century is an agent of the state pointing a gun at a person, and a citizen pointing a smartphone camera back at them

we see this scene reenacted every day, around the world

Mike Johnson refusing to seat a Latina Congresswoman in a Latino/a district, apparently to help his white man friend in the files of an international sex trafficker, is racism & sexism at work & if we had a more diverse legacy media they’d be saying this.

George Takei @georgetakei.bsky.social · 1d

What do you call a political system where those in power refuse to seat a duly elected member of the opposition party? Not a democracy that’s for certain.

Screenshot of a tweet from Rep. Greg Stanton (@RepGregStanton) on X. The tweet says House Republicans are shutting down the House to avoid swearing in Adelita Grijalva, calling it undemocratic and unacceptable. The image shows a mostly empty House chamber with several representatives, including Stanton, standing near the podium.
