The anger at the damage this regime is doing matters—but it’s part of the chaos strategy. The admin and its handlers want us angry in all directions—including at each other. Unless we focus anger into organized action, every pull will keep us dancing on puppet strings. Don’t just react; respond.

Dropkick Murphys just had an epic moment at their show:
They made a friendly wager with a fan in a MAGA shirt—“Let’s see where it’s made.”
Then they checked his MAGA shirt tag…
Made in Nicaragua.
They swapped it with a Made in America Dropkick Murphys tee.
Legendary.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.
Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

Don't confuse them.
He is flooding the zone. He knows that media will cover everything he does. Getting people upset. Which helps give him more coverage of the upset people. All just talking about him.
Dems need to be strategic.

This is one example of a potlatch gift (possibly from Tanana). In our Interior ways gifting and sharing are engrained in our spirituality. Everything is predicated on reciprocity & balance with the land & animals. It baffled the early missionaries that we would give so generously of our foods, etc.

The republican assumption that most gov jobs are either graft or make-work corruption is truly telling. most highly qualified gov workers are passing on tons of money to pursue service, but that fundamental unselfishness is so alien to the republican psyche they assume the worst
