When/if we ever manage to crawl out of this interesting but burning garbage bin of history, we really must begin to apply what we know of psychology to assess and rate psychopathic traits in aspiring leaders.

Not at all surprised to learn that Bad Bunny has a historical adviser. His halftime show was a reminder that our history and culture are deeply intertwined with the rest of the western hemisphere. We should think of his performance as part of #America250. #SuperBowl

lovely people, who should placed in chastity straps until they grow up.
Just so you know what they are saying and who they are listening to.
Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”

The Epstein Class are 'negative sum thinkers'.*
They will trash everything, even if it includes theirs, so long as the value of theirs increases relative to yours.
*I call them 'nummers', although I think 'Epstein Class' does some essential associative trigger work.

“I don't see any plan, any strategy, any end game,” says Pat Parenteau, a professor of environmental law at the University of Vermont. “I don't see anything from this administration, just fuck everything up as much as you can. You can print that.”

UPDATE: He was just released. This shows that just indiscriminately took someone because they were Latino. Their illegal tactics continue so we still need neighbors to patrol, observe, and support our immigrant community.
Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.
Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.
