Your kids get a max of two toys and then grow up to work in the same factory as their father and grandfather screwing in tiny screws. It’s called The American Dream.

Those dystopian books we read in school are looking less like fiction and more like a blueprint.
No wonder they’re being banned—they want to keep us in the dark.

Trump is making another 911 more likely.
His Gaza scheme is inflaming the Middle East. He’s gutting intelligence agencies, prioritizing loyalty over merit. FBI & CIA comms are in chaos.
Weak intel means they may not see the threats coming. And w/political retribution as the focus—we’re wide open.

The WH is coming at us fast & furious with big changes, abrupt policies & wild threats to wear us down. It’s the reverse of a frog boil-it’s not slow and steady-but that is what they want. Soon will come the gaslighting, manipulation & then the actual boil. It won’t ‘feel as bad’ this way. Be ready.

Setting quotas of arrests per day. You know what happens when you have a quota to meet? Scoop them up and let the court sort it out. They will be grabbing anyone they can. No proof of citizenship on your person? Too bad. That’s an arrest. Look “illegal?” Explain it to the court someday.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, it's intentional. They're calling it "flooding the zone." The intent is to overwhelm and exhaust us so we can not effectively resist. Something simple you can do right now now is to make sure to take breaks and rest.

Trump just imposed a 25% import tax (i.e., tariff) on all imports from Colombia — the top supplier of coffee consumed in the United States. Since that tax will be passed along to American consumers, coffee prices are expected to rise dramatically.
