My book #Strongmen turns 5 today! The paperback edition, with a new epilogue on January 6, is now 4. The book built a large readership gradually and became a New York Times bestseller in Nov. 2024. Thank you to all who read it and share its warnings about what such leaders do to societies.

This is so sadistic. These people are proud of the terror they're inflicting. They're enjoying it.
"While Border Patrol photographers snapped photos, one agent shouted, “Everyone say, ‘Little Village!’”"
ICE/CBP have targeted Little Village for 10+ yrs. In just the last 3 wks, they've repeatedly (3x) used chemical weapons, aimed guns, & threatened residents, most recently this past weekend.

Border Patrol Agents Pose At 'The Bean' For Apparent Photo Op
The photo op came after agents tear-gassed a Little Village street and were spotted in the area numerous times. At the Bean, one agent shouted, "Everyone say, Little Village!"

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

My insurance goes up 27% next year. Don't f'ing talk to me about big girl panties. People went without food and paychecks for a stunt, and if that's a clever strategic win in your book, then you've never gone hungry. Being an adult means thinking of people's suffering as more than political chits.

Politicians from both parties work for the same "mafia state" and have essentially the same corporate donors; they work for those donors, not their constituents. Read everything this young woman has written.

This thread. The USDA shorted the states and now grocery retailers that honored the SNAP benefits won't be reimbursed.
Wisconsin in particular has no money.
A shakedown if I ever saw one.

Imagine if Democrats relentlessly hammered him in these moments instead of assuming nothing will ever stick to him. Imagine if we demanded that Republicans answer why the President is throwing Gatsby parties and calling football plays instead of negotiating. Nah, we should definitely fold instead.

After re-watching all of season 5 of #rhop I am not hyped about Monique's return. Although, it looks like they are giving her the Phaedra treatment. Mention her all season long and then she pops up the last two episodes of the season.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

I was taught this when I worked at a clothing store. Maybe I did it twice. It seemed so odd and rude. Just help the customer best you can and be polite.
It’s like when the grocery store chains started reading your name off the credit card receipt to thank you by name. It doesn’t make you feel known. It doesn’t feel nice. It’s very obviously just something they’re being forced to do. It was worse than just a generic “Have a nice day.”

Re-watching old seasons of #RHOP. Season 5 is the aftermath of the fight between Candiace & Monique. Ep 13 Wendy had a conference and I think Kiearna was in the audience?
