I don't know if the #Republicans understand how strong China's propaganda is. Their economy may be failing, and military not as advanced, human rights lagging, but Propaganda is the ENTIRE name of the game in China. Their people think they are #1 in everything…. Just like #MAGA thinks the US is.

speaking of abusers who should not be left alone with their own children…

a reminder that the guy who said he never met Jeffrey Epstein shares the same white supremacist breeding god-complex : pays broodmares to birth his master race.

Epstein had a breeding ranch in Nuevo México. that’s why Bill Richardson was part of his social net. the place got busted & trafficked women were freed after his imprisonment.

"Some scholars argue that we now inhabit a “culture of offense,” a way of turning a claim that some behavior or statement is offensive into, in effect, a right to be offended, which creates a further claim of victimhood. I expect that we can all think of examples of how this culture can be used as a cudgel to disingenuously keep disfavored views and voices out of the public realm."

The Atlantic · A Defense Against Gaslighting SociopathsBy Arthur C. Brooks

Never considered this. The #Trump shakedown of legal firms for pro bono work isn't about the money. It's at least partially about forcing lawyers who have plenty of other opportunities to get paid and explore interesting issues, forcing them to take cases based on crackpot #MAGA legal theories that they'd otherwise never argue for. And maybe you could pay a decent lawyer to support, but you'd have to pay them a lot more and they'd be risking their reputation.

🗣 PUERTO RICO, ¡DESPIERTA!

❝ The U.S. Supreme court Thursday deferred any ruling on President Trump's claim that there is no automatic guarantee to birthright citizenship in the Constitution.

The court said it would hear arguments in the case on May 15, with a decision likely by late June or early July. ❞

Yet more school shootings in the USA. Given other current events, I beg my fellow "liberals" to not reflexively call for gun control laws at this time, but instead for YOU to go purchase a semi-automatic rifle & pistol with detachable high-capacity magazines, & to take courses & spend range time practice for their safe handling. This is NOT a call for you to ever initiate any kind of violence, but rather to become capable of SELF DEFENSE.
