People Born Across The Bridge Live 20 Years Longer. Why?

A Black child born in Windsor, Ontario, will likely live into her eighties.

A Black child born the same night in Detroit, visible across the river, is not likely to reach her seventies.

Policy is deadly.

I’d love to see how Yarvin does in Russia. I’d give him a year. But given that list of countries and his failure to change the US with the tech bros, he probably sold out long ago and knows that we will discover he is a traitor.

All I’d say to him: don’t let the door slam your a$$ on the way out.

Yesterday, in 1st off the record briefing, we discussed Curtis Yarvin - anti-American “Dark Enlightenment” guru credited as “the philosopher behind Vance. We talked about Peter Thiel’s 4 secret lectures, and where diplomats see conflicts to occur next

If you’re in El Paso, home to Ft. Bliss and Biggs Field, and need food assistance, the Mustard Seed Cafe (where I volunteered) provides hot fresh food Wed-Friday. No questions asked. It’s main purpose was providing meals in a restaurant and dignified setting for unhoused, but is now for all… free.

It’s heartbreaking that the richest country in the world needs food banks to feed its people but it’s unbelievable that our billionaire politicians have forced our military to feed themselves and their families from food banks.

Shortly after Sinaloa Drug Cartel heads entered plea deals in July/August, forfeited $80M, had family placed in protective custody…Trump bombs 1st of several boats in Caribbean. No confirmation who was killed, if drugs were onboard. Is Trump’s “intel” coming from convicted Sinaloa Cartel members?

Seriously, @nytimes.com ? Participating in the raid on Iran? Blowing up Venezuelan and Columbian boats? This is peacemaking abroad? Do better.

President Trump’s dueling personas were on display this week, providing endless ammunition to his allies and his enemies alike.

Refusing to accept reality and create a reality just for you is characteristic of narcissism.

This is all united. And it's how we are here. Part of our population made our nation's history a religion, a fairy tale, and divorced themselves from our nation at the same time.

They voted for this.

If you have any compassion or empathy for others, it's impossible to not see systemic racism. Especially if it is pointed out in examples. Denial of its existence is a refusal to accept reality. And we are back to #3.

Adults who believe in fairy tales.

4. Racism connected to narcissism. Racism today is more arrogance than ignorance.

Imagine believing that in today's world, you achieved what you did based on your own efforts alone. No help from social structures or community.

The hubris you need to have to believe that is mind blowing.

3. Follow-up to #2 - if you believe that you can do what you want without consequences, you don't live in reality - you live in a dream world. MAGA literally creates their own reality in their heads.

Again, it shows acceptance of conspiracy theories and oversimplification.

Or petualnce.

2. Lack of accountability in decisions. I mean, if you believe others will prevent the consequences of your stupid decision...no words.

It's irresponsible. There is a lack of ownership and an unwillingness to participate in democracy (participate in voting, watch news, but that's it).

1. From that statement, this MAGA doesn't see himself as an American and part of the system. There is a disturbing distance in that sentence.

It explains a willingness to accept conspiracy theories, to believe that voting doesn't work, to accept the criminality happening in our system.

Trump voters did vote for what we are seeing now.

We all know what we heard from Trump. He said he was going to do all that we are seeing.

Don't be gaslit.

A MAGA voter once told me, "Oh, the American people won't allow Trump to do those things."

Shocking then and now, with lots to unpack.
