Former NE resident, now current CA resident. The people at his rally shared the same brain. They also seem to support Ricketts who gives someone like Mike Huckabee a run for his money.

Title IX has never been about giving justice to survivors of sexual violence and always has been about giving institutions the appearance of accountability.

I know Rahm Emanuel. I worked with him for years in the Clinton administration, and then when he was Obama’s chief of staff. Rahm Emanuel represents everything that’s been wrong about the Democratic Party for the last 30+ years. Be warned. robertreich.substack.com/p/the-rahm…

Gentileschi was a part of the Caravaggisti. She painted in the 17th century which makes her Baroque with her use of tenebrism and theatrical display. She was a fascinating woman. I felt her version of Judith really illustrated the collective anger of women. TY for appreciating her and my post ❤️

To European eyes, Trump is America’s ultimate, tragic self-own. The nation that has spent a century priding itself as the arsenal of democracy is now eagerly elevating a would-be autocrat who couldn’t spell “democracy” without autocorrect.

When the public finally learns the full accounting of the damage done in this war, it’ll probably be too late to hold anyone in the Trump administration accountable. But this is insane. And they’re lying to the American people.

⚠️ Be careful with VoteSafe .org. It is NOT an official voting website. It’s tied to Elon Musk’s America PAC and collects a lot of personal information from people who use it. Before you hand over your name, address, phone number, email and voter information, know who you’re giving it to.

All of this is unacceptable behavior, but especially so for a President. Given his obvious mental decline (probably dementia), then who is “suggesting” these talking points? He is not the only problem! It is the infrastructure that supports him! Stable genius indeed.

As a survivor of narcissistic abuse, this behavior is obvious to me, but maybe not to others. The future faking is also coupled with intermittent reinforcement, aka “breadcrumbs or breadcrumbing.”

Screenshot of a definition of intermittent reinforcement. “A psychological conditioning pattern where rewards or positive feedback are given unpredictably and inconsistently rather than on a regular schedule.”

47’s “promise” to give Americans $5k instead of healthcare is an example of future faking. It is a manipulation tactic employed by narcissists and those who emotionally abuse others. It bears repeating- MAGA is in an abusive relationship.

Screenshot with a definition of future faking. “Future faking is a manipulative tactic where someone makes grand, exaggerated promises about a shared future to gain your trust, affection, or compliance in the present, with no real intention or ability to follow through.
