Here is why the "normal" people in your life who support the cruelty, hate, violence, theft, lawlessness, genocide, eugenics, abuse, rape, and murder are so entrenched and so deep down miserable.
They are living with massive amounts of cognitive dissonance.

Yes, it has become institutionalized. The entire system needs to be rebuilt.
The Epstein stuff reveals that our elites are so insulated and powerful that they can do anything, but it doesn’t stop with this abuse. That same mindset is what leads to these terrible wars, government that leaves people to starve and die unnecessary deaths.
It’s a systemic failure.

the biggest lesson from the emails today is that powerful people are so unafraid of consequences for crimes as bad as “raping children” that they will just talk about it openly in emails

Marjorie Taylor Greene headed to The View during a government shutdown which makes sense.
Because for five years, she’s been playing the same character: the loudest person in the room who never solves a thing.

It's really difficult to take the stream of lies in general, but especially coming from the human equivalent of that nasty, runny, lukewarm lime jello salad served at every fundie tent revival potluck ever.
Q: Trump floated running for president in 2028. Are you comfortable with those comments?
MIKE JOHNSON: Well, there is the 22nd Amendment. I think the president knows about the restrictions of the Constitution, as much as so many Americans lament that. I don't see a way to amend the Constitution.

This is spot on. We can't pick up the slack. Even if we care, even if everyone gives what we can, which of COURSE we will.
And we shouldn't have to.

Something that makes me angry is that we can't capitalize SNAP. I see good people using their modest means to try to feed the starving ppl of Gaza, while the US spends tens of billions bombing them. Now we are trying to feed each other, while the US steals from us. Same with GoFundMe healthcare.

I manage an online support group for people in menopause. We understand HRT is gender affirming care and may likely be restricted or unavailable soon. We are understand HRT is collateral damage to what is happening to trans people.

Just a reminder that authoritarians use the vulnerabilities of liberal democracy against itself, including concepts of "free speech" and the "healthy exchange of ideas."
They do not value these things. They are not sincerely held principles. They're cudgels and they will erase them once in power.

Donald Trump’s America is taxpayers paying farmers to grow crops only to let them rot unsold while grocery store prices are through the roof as he tells us everything is cheaper than ever despite the fact that he has never been shopping in a grocery store in his entire life.

Yes, all of this. All of the hateful, greedy, racist, misogynistic, murderous behavior is also meant to keep us off balance mentally and emotionally in its enormity and chaos, so we are weaker and easier to control.
The abject cruelty, the displays of violence, the abusive language, the reveling in human suffering, the decimation of reality, the blatant corruption and crimes, the shredding of the safety net
It's all meant to shift how we perceive the world and normalize authoritarianism and erase human dignity

I have a creeping sense of unease more and more each day as people tell me the ways they're using AI.
Today I saw a post in which someone used Chat GPT to tell them why they didn't like a well received television series, rather than taking a few minutes to articulate that for themself.

I grew up in extreme Christian fundamentalism in the 70s and 80s. My community had political figures as speakers, fundraised for them externally and passed a plate for fundraising when they were there.
They distributed marked ballot flyers telling people how to vote.
Five decades of this at least.

I hate these kind of arguments that ignore the fact that some of these evangelical churches have been doing this for years…
The IRS recently changed its regulations to allow churches to endorse political candidates. “I hope pastors won’t act on this new freedom,” Esau McCaulley writes:
