‼️🤔 The Sun: Putin is likely preparing an invasion of the Suwałki Corridor — NATO's so-called Achilles' heel. Such a move could cut off the Baltic states from the rest of the Alliance.

His military flyover of the Epstein Survivor's Press Conference was like when a little kid puts their fingers in their ears, saying "Nyah, nyah, nyah I can't hear you!"! Pathetic, hugely expensive & hilariously ineffective. #TerrifiedOfTheEPSTEIN_Files 😨

The President of the United States just essentially declared a war on Chicago because — wait for it! — Black and Brown people live here. This is not normal. This is not okay. And we are going to fucking fight back.
A TruthSocial post from Donald Trump, featuring an AI generated image of him in front of Chicago burning and under invasion with the words “Chipocalypse Now” near him stylized like the poster for the film Apocalypse Now. The text accompanying the post reads “‘I love the smell of deportations in the morning…’ Chicago about to find out why it’s called the Department of WAR 🚁🚁🚁”

If this all unfolds in the way that it's unfolding, I have a hunch the history books are going to highlight the Democratic Party's abandonment of trade unions and union voters as a fatal strategic error. The centre-left has quite literally disarmed itself ahead of this moment.

On Aug. 26, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump once again erroneously blamed Ukraine for starting the war with Russia. The reality is that Russia launched a limited invasion of Ukraine in 2014 (illegally annexing Crimea) & a full-scale invasion in 2022. www.thewhig.com/opinion/carn...

I honestly think you have a mix of media and social media for this. Sensationalism and fear work to grab attention. Local media knows crime stories are low effort, but constantly reporting on crime distorts people’s view of their communities. And the algorithms only amplify that problem.

An economic epiphany: I realized that money has gravity. If you have little money, there's not enough 'gravity' to hold it together, as it's pulled away towards higher gravity money-heavy masses. If you have a lot, smaller amounts of money are attracted and fall toward your large financial mass.
