On your show you asked how Musk feels about the thousands of deaths caused by dismantling USAID. Probably the same way Hitler felt: pride and success. Musk wants to cleanse the world of such people. Unfortunately, you’re projecting empathy onto someone who feels none.

Based on Wikipedia, in Russia they believe that if it is raining when you leave a place, it means you'll return, and it is considered a generally good omen. Rain and water are generally considered good luck in Eastern Europe. Look under Cause and Effect: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superst...

Tonight, Joe Biden will give a speech touting his successes, and in many ways he did an admirable job. But he never left the alternate reality of the establishment, and protected “norms and institutions” instead of us. I wrote about it. Please subscribe. www.mind-war.com/p/bidens-alt...

This outcome was always a possibility, so it’s unclear why she didn’t step aside and allow someone else to handle the case. Once again, the GOP set a trap, and the Dems walked right into it. The focus has shifted from Trump’s crimes to Fani Willis’ alleged indiscretions—just as the defense intended.

I see two extreme views here. Imagine the outrage if asymptomatic carriers claimed Covid didn't kill people. While vaccines are effective, individual responses may vary. Ignoring these struggles on fuels denialism. Vaccine dosing and schedule alternatives should be reviewed and made available.

Some people, like my son, actually experienced side effects from vaccines. I believe there is a middle ground, starting with listening to those affected and urging vaccine companies, who currently face no liability and have little incentive to serve the minority, to address their concerns.

Antonella @antonellapk.bsky.social · 13/12/2024
Some people experience side effects from vaccines and feel unheard and dismissed. As individuals, we respond differently. Covid was a perfect example with some being asymptomatic while others were dying. Acknowledgement and flexibility in vaccine schedules may reverse the anti vaccine sentiments.

Absolutely! New Yorkers have been warning the Nation for year that Trump is a misogynistic, racist, criminal conman. Both are scary, but at least Trump tell us what he plans to do so we can prepare. Vance is conniving, manipulative and smooth which might be more effective and concerning.

I totally agree! Government officials spend much of their time in office raising money for their next election and running for office. No wonder so little gets done.

Trump's coup is now complete after 4 years of lying about the 2020 election, amplified by the GOP and rights wing media echo chamber. An insurrectionist should have been impeached, charged and barred from ever running for office again. Too many assumed that Trump would simply fade away.

IMO DEMs avoided auditing the election results because they don’t want to undermine trust in the process after Trump’s baseless claims of rigged elections. The GOP often exploit the fact that Democrats play by the rules. So they can attempt election interference knowing they won't get much pushback.

It's a glaring conflict of interest for most of them. They seem to want these positions solely to dismantle regulations that stand in the way of making them richer, often at the expense of everyday people.

Dictators take away the guns so Trump has already indicated the desire to take some away. He will also take away other powers as well. I was born in a communist country where religion was illegal, companies were all government owned, and the rich were jailed. So there are lots of possibilities.

That is quite a generalization. Perhaps it's accurate in business because massive gains come from knowing how to exploit the work of others. But in other professions, such as the music industry, their net worth comes from their own personal talent and ability to sell music, so some are altruistic.

4️⃣ Support nonprofits that've been pivotal in advancing civil rights and protecting American democracy. From the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to Voting Rights Act of 1965, Brown v. Board of Education, Roe v. Wade and much more — without pro-freedom non-profits, we wouldn't have the rights we do today.

3️⃣ Demand accountability. Trump and his allies will test their limits. Pressuring your Senators and Representative matters, even if they support Trump: write them, call them, join town halls. Show elected officials that their job is to serve the people, not to serve one man’s anti-freedom agenda.

2️⃣ Take action locally. In Hungary, cities became resistance hubs. Local action can be a key part of defending democracy. Support candidates/elected officials who will stand against Trump's overreach: • Governor, AG, other statewide positions • State Legislature • City Council • School Board

So, what can we do? 1️⃣ Stay informed. Orbán relied on disinformation to hide his power grabs. Support independent outlets (@propublica.org is a great one) and amplify factual reporting. Push back on lies. Whether it’s Trump’s fraud claims or attacks on free speech, truth is resistance.

True, but they can also remove him. There’s a reason Trump didn’t want Vance as his VP...Vance could invoke the 25th Amendment to oust Trump and take over the presidency. The idea of enacting it came up during Trump’s first administration, and there’s even more justification for it now.

Thanks for the warning! 🤣 On a serious note, everyone respond differently to vaccines, medication and viruses. Just look at COVID, where outcomes ranged from asymptomatic to fatal. I’m sensitive to medications, and my son needed a revised vaccine schedule as a baby. More flexibility is needed!

Antonella @antonellapk.bsky.social · 04/12/2024
Agreed. It's less strategy on Trump's part and more authoritarian tendencies that come natural to him. However, his Project 2025 gang is highly strategic, and he goes along with their plans as long as they serve his interests.

H.R. 9495 (the bill that would give Trump unchecked power to go after his political opponents) has moved to the Senate after being passed by the House. Since Democrats still control the Senate, the real risk is that the bill gets attached to another piece of must-pass legislation.
