Trump has been hiding his Russian diesel deal for over a month: the deal was announced yesterday, but it was likely agreed when Witkoff and Kushner visited the Kremlin on 5th September. While Trump was signing the Lindsey Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026 on 18th September,…

Why doesn’t the Pentagon just tell the truth? Because the Trump administration wants to hide the truth.

The regime has been normalizing the presence of the U.S. Military on the streets of American cities for nearly two years in anticipation of the 2026 mid-term election. The creation of a secretive, unaccountable national paramilitary force & blurred lines between police & military is intentional.

And: to stay in power, dictators have to shatter the very concept of human solidarity, to break bonds that might enable the country to rise up against the regime. Turning ppl against one another to dissolve trust is just Step 1. Step 2: desensitize ppl so they no longer recognize shared humanity.

it kinda just sounds like people are bad at math?
For the first experiment with 354 participants, one group was tasked with solving 15 basic fraction problems without help, while another had ChatGPT open on the side to use for assistance and to even ask for the answer. The group with AI access started off more accurate than the group without it. Then, after 12 problems, researchers took away the AI tool. Almost immediately, the people in that group stopped solving questions accurately.
