  1. Whew! Glad I took a Mother’s Day break from monitoring Trump’s #TruthSocial feed yesterday, because what the hell are we doing, people? How much more ridiculous, delusional, narcissistic chaos, corruption, cruelty and blatant authoritarianism are we supposed to normalize before enough is enough?

  4. CW: Nightmare with child harm, the state of the world because of the few world class criminals.

    @actuallyadhd @autistics

    Weird, or just because of the state of the world.
    Looking at you, Fart stain (trump) & you Nastyyahoo (Netinyahu(?)) In particular. Putler's (Putin's) lackies, doing his dirty work? 🤷

    Woke up because of bad dream that would definitely fit in with the kind of horror movies involving the supernatural & hauntings. I don't remember much apart from the most horrendous outcome, resulting in the house, or people being haunted by a screaming baby that's completely unrecognisable because it's just this black shape, burned completely.
    That's probably the bit that woke me up.

    Checked the time (07:30) & tried to get back to sleep... Must have drifted as I found myself with the same people being forced to go different ways one North, the other South & a long way away from their home. They split up to wait for, I assume their respective transport.
    Dream cuts to the inhuman screaming from previous dream & I'm back at the place that's now haunted by this ghost or entity of this burned baby. It's pitch black but when the ghost shows up I can still see it's shiny black form that looks like it's become more demon with more bulk & fat folds than any baby would have.
    That's my cue & I'm awake. It's 08:00.

    I felt awake but my eyes were & at 09:00 (now) still are, "nope, not ready."

    This timeline is gross.
    Why are people who have rap sheets a mile long & growing day by day in charge of entire countries, with other countries (🙄SOME other countries), mine included 🫣🤬, more or less going, "yes sir ,no sir, three bags full." for these criminals who should have been jailed years ago?!

    Sorry for spreading more negativity but I needed it out & shouting at a wall or a door wasn't going to cut it.

  7. The Democrats’ Disastrous Shutdown Strategy: A Shameful Weaponization of Human Suffering

    The government shutdown of 2025 has been one of the most shameful episodes in modern American politics, not just because of the dysfunction it exposed, but because of how both parties — especially the Democrats — turned human suffering into a political strategy. For over 40 days, the federal government was paralyzed, workers went without pay, vital services were halted, and millions of Americans were left hanging in uncertainty. All for what? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. When the dust […]

  9. #Greed and the #GildedAge: Power, Wealth, and Corruption in 19th-Century America

    Examining Wealth, Corruption, and Social Change in the Gilded Age

    November 16, 2021

    Excerpt: "From the 1870s to the 1890s, the United States entered a period of rapid #industrialization. There was a shift from an agrarian economy to an industrial economy and many Americans began to move to urban areas. #MarkTwain called this period the Gilded Age and criticized the era as a time of #greed and #PoliticalCorruption.

    Industrialization greatly increased the need for workers in the nation’s factories. The availability of factory jobs that required little or no skills was one of the reasons for a dramatic increase in immigration to the United States. Although working conditions in most factories were poor and unsafe, there was a steady stream of immigrant workers to fill the positions.

    While there were millions of factory workers, the #wealthy #entrepreneurs who owned the factories represented a tiny fraction of Americans. The few wealthy controlled most of the wealth in the United States during this time.

    During the Gilded Age, the economic disparities between the workers and big business owners grew exponentially. Workers continued to endure low wages and dangerous working conditions in order to make a living. #BigBusiness owners, however, enjoyed #lavish lifestyles.

    he industrialization of the United States brought economic growth to the country like never before. The economy moved from agrarian to industrial; consumer goods were mass-produced and readily available. However, manufacturing was not the only industry that experienced growth. The railroad industry grew as the need to transport people and goods increased.

    The rapid growth of the manufacturing industry created a great need for unskilled workers. This demand caused migration as farm workers moved from rural areas of the United States to find jobs in America’s rapidly growing cities. The increase in jobs was also a draw for people in foreign countries. Many people immigrated to the United States in search of work and the opportunity to live the American dream.

    While industrialization led to an increase in jobs, it also led to poor working conditions for this new industrial labor force. Workers were forced to work in dangerous conditions surrounded by heavy machinery. Unskilled laborers required little training and completed routine tasks. They also worked long hours and were paid low wages.

    Big business owners benefitted tremendously from the economic changes in the United States. Some historians have said that these entrepreneurs were robber barons because they got rich through ruthless means. Others have called them captains of industry because they were greatly responsible for increasing productivity, expanding markets, providing jobs, and increasing the nation’s wealth."

  10. Shouldn’t the moral of bankrupt Nations be: never give political power to sycophants like Tony Blair, else billionaires like Thiel and Ellison will turn your Nation into an authoritarian shit hole? #PartyFinance #PoliticalCorruption #fakedemocracy #TheRiseOfFascistCults #MediaBias

  11. What’s the point of publishing the reports of #PartyFinance if the finance protects the fascists right to undermine the ethical coverage of political parties? Empire’s old tricks of repeating, projecting, gaslighting, shaming, naming and blaming any who oppose its obscene inequalities and injustices are not being challenged by enough of our politicians. Those who are benefiting most are fascist cults like MAGA, Fidesz, Reform, AfD and Vox etc. The solution: the proportionally mediated finance of the people’s diverse interests, so private equity cannot use corporate capital as leverage to protect antitrust monopolies. #PartyFinance #Regulation #GettingDirtyMoneyOutOfPolitics #PoliticalCorruption #CorporateFinance #CorporateDemocracy #FascistCults #EcocideEmpire #FascistBureaucracy #InterestsDemocracy #RepublicsSovereignty #TheFederation #CivilRights electoralcommission.org.uk/pol

  12. A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt

    There can be no effective control of corporations while their political activity remains. To put an end to it will be neither a short nor an easy task, but it can be done. We must have complete and effective publicity of corporate affairs, so that people may know beyond peradventure whether the corporations obey the law and whether their management entitles them to the confidence of the public. It is necessary that laws should be passed to prohibit the use of corporate funds directly or indirectly for political purposes; it is still more necessary that such laws should be thoroughly enforced. Corporate expenditures for political purposes, and especially such expenditures by public-service corporations, have supplied one of the principal sources of corruption in our political affairs.

    Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901-1909)
