Anyone gainsay this perspective? Be you religious or not? This is a perspective by which to assail / resist any and all aspects of Trump and Netanyahu’s illegal wars of choice vs Iran and Lebanon - and others.

scontent-lhr6-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-... A loan from Philo Thoughts on Facebook (thanks). Too good not to share. It reminds us of ‘cui bono?’ and ‘follow the money’. A Trumpian version might be ‘The war is not to be won, but to aggrandise me. It will last as long as I benefit & you all lose.'
substack.com/redirect/bac... Just a question American friends… are you ok with your President taking down the East Wing of YOUR People’s House as if it were his own and you did not matter a jot? After promising not to do any of this. Mind you, if anyone takes TACO Trump’s word for anything now…
cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thu... Apparently, according to this post, this is the man.
www.facebook.com/share/179JAD... Had to borrow this from Facebook. Too close for any sense of comfort. Too true to be anything other than a terrifying, clear indictment of GOP/Trump sheeples.
Time for a reminder I think. Applies all too much as we enter into the possibility of ‘trillionaires’. Such an obscene concept makes a mockery of human rights, equality, and justice. Reject this concept. Trump(ism) is an example, but far too many recklessly seem to believe there is merit in wealth.
Observed in every presser given by Trump, the perfect Dunning-Kruger effect specimen. It is intellectually & emotionally draining to listen to POTUS. I don’t understand how it can be tolerated! He is the definition of delusion. (Mind you, Hegseth, cult minister of war, is coming in a close second).
Not my IP, so thanks to whoever first posted this letter from the gentle pen of Charles Schultz. Sometimes older words carry a greater resonance than even their illustrious authors intended. In this season of ICE unlawfulness and politically vicious action against minorities, this is gold.
Not my clip but as true as ever Carl intended. As to the ‘demon haunted world’ it is presently possessed by a demon haunted President and cult following. Needs the same approach - to the MAGA enveloping darkness of ignorance and hubris.
This is a perspective that all the Trumps, Netanyahus, Musks and Putins really should contemplate. But of course they won’t… or they would not be in need of such a contemplation… Catch22?
Another Sagan meme. Apposite. Necessary. And brilliant. Thanks to creator and posts on FB.
Credit to unknown OP from Facebook. Of course credit to Carl Sagan for the observation. Nice interpretation makes the point. The very obvious point about our potentially terminal stupidity. We stand a high probability of auto termination. And it does not get much more stupid than that.
I have heard this from near the beginning. That it arises as ‘truth’ every now and then is important. Wonder if truth makes any difference to some people. ‘The most moral army’ is a one of the most sickening lies ever.
This is worth a ‘WTF’ isn’t it? What else could one say? The open subversion and erasure of thinking history is surely the authoritarian play on steroids? Saw the below mural in York… some visionaries out there. Kudos. Resistance is all we have.
substack.com/redirect/adf... Great cartoons need little explanation but their meanings are worth spending a few moments contemplating.
After the overt, cynical bullying of a National leader operating in war crisis mode for 3 years, I have been feeling seriously affected. The world has shifted. I wrote a paper on bullying years ago. I was reminded of it tonight. This part emerged first. Chaos and oppression.
The truth. Decades ago. No one listening. Are they now? Doubt it. The evidence is overwhelming. As to corporate denials “well they would, wouldn’t they.” How long are they going to be allowed to run the show just because of wealth? Where is ‘what is right’ here?
substackcdn.com/image/fetch/... I don't accept that all cops are ‘bad’. Any more than ‘all nurses are good’. But the systems governing public services are intrinsically flawed and geared to serving the wealthy and oppressing the poor. This is true - and it’s why I will re-post this message.
Having a day to breathe and try to be simply grateful. Flooding all around, but no earthquakes. Poverty abounds, but not Gaza. Political issues here, but the US President elect not my President elect. The truth is out there. Somewhere, in the blue, BlueSky
Credit to original creator & @changchokaski post. Too important to remain hidden! The rule of lies is what Trump II presages - he advertises it without shame. The shame is ours if we fail to see though and counter it. As Caitlin Johnstone also makes clear about the Gaza genocide. We must own it.
Yep… I think this is what is sometimes referred to as ‘fuckwittery’ by our Aussie cousins in the JuiceMedia (do look them up!)
For UK people… hope others have their alternatives… be well, but if you are not feeling it, seek help. www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=...
