Tom L. @tomlakailakai.bsky.social · 22/01/2025This may be far fetched but I used to work in marketing (for a small dojo in the 80s). My idea is to have our female bishops start OnlyFans channels where they tastefully lecture men on politics. No nudity or anything vulgar, just pure shaming. I know men who like that stuff. It would sell! 010
Tom L. @tomlakailakai.bsky.social · 22/01/2025It wasn’t clear until now but what we need is an army of female bishops. We need them to speak truth to power in every public space. We need them to get in the faces of powerful men and shame them mercilessly. We need them to keep talking no matter the consequence. To never stop talking. 010
Tom L. @tomlakailakai.bsky.social · 25/11/2024Getting concerned at the amount of p*rn/honeypot bots on this site. It’s quickly going from a place of high IQ people engaged in productive discourse to a Trump casino. Admins better take action quick before we are overrun with smut & trolls. 030

Tom L. @tomlakailakai.bsky.social · 24/11/2024Don’t fall for the blue grifters on here, friends. You know who I’m talking about. They are monetizing your anxiety. Look to people with real analysis and strategy…and practical advice on community building. 010
Tom L. @tomlakailakai.bsky.social · 24/11/2024Let me reiterate: Trump’s agenda is dead in the water with the GOP moderates being peeled off already. The danger is in the long term plan set up by the oligarchs getting successfully incubated while we are all distracted by the orange one. 031
Tom L. @tomlakailakai.bsky.social · 24/11/2024Look for EU trade relations to be put on ice for the next 4 years, the US welfare system to take deep cuts, worker gains (wages, PTO, etc) to be reversed, & art to suck (they hate public funding for our arts). The 📈 will show growth in all measures, at the expense our individual sovereignty. 2/2 000
Tom L. @tomlakailakai.bsky.social · 24/11/2024As many of you are aware, the US has taken a major step towards its next phase. Globalism may be dying. The US will emerge at the head of a new global system that has the ultimate aim of maximizing productivity while limiting real freedom. Musk is not just an awkward tech genius. Beware! 1/2 000

Tom L. @tomlakailakai.bsky.social · 22/11/2024Trust me on this: the guy who did the same rally for 9 years and didn’t have an accomplishment to his name for 4 isn’t going to wake up & suddenly figure out how to govern. Especially when he’s already dug himself a hole with his own party. Watch for schadenfreude, but I recommend dinner w friends. 010

Tom L. @tomlakailakai.bsky.social · 21/11/2024Gaetz gone. Time for DeSantis to nominate a centrist to the open senate seat. Gaetz out of work & senate temp dropping. Washington good guys are on the back stretch & gaining steam. May be over faster than 100 days. More good news, fake DOGE is being confronted with its constitutional limitations. 000
Tom L. @tomlakailakai.bsky.social · 20/11/2024The GOP has never been good at wielding power. That’s because it isn’t a party, it’s a loose network of special interest groups with cultural veneer. The strategy the good guys are rolling out: fund 1 faction in each of their pet issues to create infighting. Trump agenda will fast be abandoned. 2/2 020
Tom L. @tomlakailakai.bsky.social · 20/11/2024Over before it starts, folks. Word from an old friend in DC that “resources” are flowing in to further factionalize the GOP caucuses in the House. If the strategy works (which it will) Trump’s agenda is dead in the water. 1/2 110
Tom L. @tomlakailakai.bsky.social · 20/11/2024There won’t be anything left to resist by May. That’s why I’m saying this: don’t waste your time or energy. Resist by building things in your own lives. 010
Tom L. @tomlakailakai.bsky.social · 20/11/2024I can tell you from hard-earned experience that this new “administration” will fizzle out in the first 100 days. Too many personalities formed on the internet - Trump, Gaetz, Gabbard, RFK. They’ll run off to podcasts to plead their individual policy cases rather than mustering ranks in Washington. 040
Tom L. @tomlakailakai.bsky.social · 20/11/2024People seem to be generally happy and upbeat on this app, with very little talk of the election. With a few exceptions, there is mostly dispassionate analysis. One side knows how to grieve in a healthy way. I’m grateful to see that. Resist by building things in your own lives. 030
