the whole thing: systems naturally trend toward certain outcomes, outcomes benefit certain people, and the quadrant of "not naturally trended toward" and "benefits those with less power" requires intention and attention to resolve. the world is sprinting from this sole value, and that's abhorrent.
I was frustrated by the noise in the discourse, so I made the video I wished existed (as clearly as possible illustrating sync points between the three available ICE shooting videos). I'd appreciate a signal boost!

Trump is clearly not well.
At a meeting with oil industry CEO’s Trump suddenly interrupts his introductory remarks, gets up and looks out the window and starts talking about his ballroom. Trump then realizes his mistake and says “unusual time to look”, and sits back down to continue.

why do I not see more "billionaires are cancer" metaphors? cancer is cells which are THRIVING at the expense of the greater body. they leech and hoard resources and increase their reach until the larger system fails.

American conservatives will look you right in the eye with a straight face and tell you that complete and utter subservience to masked federal police is patriotism, anything else deserves being executed in the street, and tax dollars for healthcare is tyranny.

the 2016+ republican ethos is: bootlicking. I think it's that simple? actions, words, all in service. it's people in the favor of those with the boots who can't muster up any energy towards improving anything beyond preserving that. there is no wrong the powerful can do; power does, lickers lick.

Very odd that all of a sudden my feed is pet pics and other frivolities? Is this what happens when all the infighting disinfo bots turn off because… the kompromat was released and now there’s no leverage, or something?

I'm not so naive to think clinton/gates/etc don't have their goons rubbing elbows with the media and judicial system to keep their names clean, but if you're a conspiracy theorist with a narrative that they're calling the shots, the [lack of] epstein release is evidence of Greater Goons than theirs.

Devine: So how come these other people could hang around him and not see it?
Lutnick: They participated. That's what his M.O. was, "Get a massage" And what happened in that massage room, I assume is on video. This guy was the greatest blackmailer ever. That's how he had money.

a democratic message I'd get excited about: "donald trump has corruptly enriched himself and his family in amounts upwards of $4B through the public office of president, so we're working to identify what legal frameworks are necessary to take that $4B back as soon as he's out of power".

The thing about a lot of these never Trump Republicans is that, unlike a lot of institutionalist Dems who think the fever will break and we can all return to comity or whatever, these guys saw the rot up close and know the only appropriate response is to tear them out of government root and branch.
