Why does the world keep allowing this?
The death toll in Ternopil has risen to 38.

Following the November 19 Russian attack on a residential high-rise, the bodies of two more people previously listed as missing, have been recovered.

Among the victims are 8 children.

We have to learn to be more discerning about what we buy and watch.

Stephan Schwartz recommends buying only things that foster wellbeing. In this timeline, that means not supporting the 1%.

It is really, really hard to get your head around the raw hubris of the majority. They really will be destabilizing the operating structure of the entire U.S. government. Why? Because they believe they have a better idea about how the past century should've been done.

Anybody else finding TikTok only seems to be slapping the “ineligible for recommendation” tag on Trump’s staunchest critics? Or are we missing something? 🤷🏼

I was just thinking about “rock the vote”! And why the left is so dam bad at messaging to young people especially young men. This was not always the case! Remember rage against the Machine and NWA? I worked as an election inspector the last 2 years and saw so few young folks compared to the over 70s

Yesterday, I held a music festival in my district to register voters and speak directly to young people who don’t usually attend political events. 4,500 tickets. Music + advocacy go hand in hand. Madsoul Festival 2025 was a success.

And there were once again statistically impossible abnormalities in the election results - they cheated.
In Tennessee, Democrat Aftyn Behn cut a 22-point Republican advantage down to just 9 points—a massive swing that should have Republicans on edge heading into next year. Combine that with Trump’s plummeting approval and his latest legal and foreign-policy missteps, and you’ve got a week full of wins!
