You start to feel like you're being held hostage as there appears to be no way out, particularly as Musk and his juveniles invade our federal agencies with the doors opening wide - just letting them in! Some court rulings appear to be on the right side, but will Trump abide by them? I have no trust in that at all. It's a steamroller gathering momentum every day. The Democrats still appear averse to change speaking the same old remedies that got us here! I have recommended a D rapid response team concept so many times with names of those who are speaking out that could lead the charge. Mostly, they need a sharp political analyst to train them up -- fast - and reform the entire party to be bold and to fight and play the cards they have like saying NO! You get no votes or cooperation from us unless you for instance, rehire the IGs you let go, return/restore the data that you stole from our federal agencies, and tell us what you did with it. Well....these are my thoughts at this time.

Yes! I've been practically screaming the quiet parts on my FB, BlueSky and Substack accts. I've said we are dangerously close to genocide, with trans people being the first to go. I have been able to rouse a few people here and there, but it's still yelling into the void. I've always seen the world differently, and I saw this coming a mile away. And also, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who sees psychopathic Musk using his child as a meat shield. I happened to make a comment on BlueSky about that earlier today!

The mindset is not what you and I would call, "normal." That is why it's been SO difficult to get through the MAGA cult walls and make someone "realize" what they're doing, what they've voted for, and especially, what they're GOING TO experience at the hands of this regime. The mindset is alien to us normies. That is, I believe, the reason why so few in the media will call this out for what this is, as Jim has here. They literally don't have the capacity to understand that what they've lived in and believed for their whole lives is NOTHING like what these aliens believe in and will fight for. It's also why Democrats are mostly silent and ineffective. The very worst part is while the MAGA cult keeps trying to spin this into something "good," they ALSO can't get their minds around what's happening unless they've been conditioned enough to be a true believer - i.e., the OG MAGAts. A lot of them haven't been, and either voted by rote, or simply couldn't ABIDE a woman of color as president. They may start saying the quiet parts out loud too, but that's to be seen. But none of that matters until the mass media catches up and starts reporting these unprecedented actions as if they're ACTUALLY unprecedented and stop trying to fit this madness into old frames of reference.

Leadership in our world (Earth) is passing out of American hands. Former colonized areas and nations, most of them with non-white populations are taking greater control of their portions of the globe. No matter what Elon Musk and “natalists” and white supremacists want, the world does now and will in the future consist increasingly of “black” and “brown” people. As the song goes, “Bye bye Miss American Pie!”

Thank you for this! It’s always been about making more white babies - from the time of Reagan to now and forever thus.

The writing is on the walls and only a few see it and say it. Others ignore it, others don’t get it and then you have the white nationalists that absolutely want this.
