There will be a day, someday soon, where the men who built this machine to murder and oppress American citizens will face justice. Whether it happens in a courtroom is the only matter in dispute.

@elonmusk Elmo apparently never bothered to learn the Constitution when he came here as an immigrant, pretending he would be a student . He does not like America . It's clearly time to revoke his citizenship & deport him .

If the American public is unable to influence the outcome, we do not live in a democracy. The House, Senate and Presidency are Republican and yet a single activist masquerading as a judge is able to force massive fraud to continue …

@peterbakernyt @lukebroadwater @alanfeuer If the New York Times news reporters & editorial writers had been allowed or willing to write with this kind of conviction & clarity for the past ten years, the United States might not be approaching the Constitutional catastrophe that we & the world now face . @nytimes

In a breathtaking reversal of reality, Trump uses a taxpayer funded White House website to whitewash the history of Jan. 6, blaming Capitol Police, Democrats and Pence -- everyone but himself and the mob that stormed the Capitol. @lukebroadwater @alanfeuer nytimes.com/2026/01/06/us/…

@wardjunior @archeohistories Yeah, other countries really are different . All the other countries that can afford to, make sure they provide medical care for all their people .

@Earth_Media_ @archeohistories I have Obama care because it’s good. I also like to work. Don’t overlook that many people actually do not want to work; some choose to be homeless. I’ve met them. U should acknowledge other countries are extremely different. We all can’t be each other, can we?

“The Crawlers”, 1877. ‘The Crawlers’ were the lowest of the British poor. This elderly widow is sitting outside a tailor’s shop, holding a baby while its mother works. She was given a cup of tea and a slice of bread daily in return. The photograph titled “The Crawlers” was taken in 1877 and captures one of the harshest realities of Victorian poverty in London. The term “crawlers” referred to some of the most destitute people in society — often the elderly, widowed, or disabled, who were too frail to work and forced to rely on scraps of charity to survive. They were called “crawlers” because many were so weakened by hunger, disease, or age that they could only move slowly, often crawling or dragging themselves along the streets. In this haunting image, an elderly widow sits outside a tailor’s shop, cradling an infant. The baby’s mother, likely a working-class woman struggling to make ends meet, left her child in the widow’s care while she labored inside. The widow’s payment for this exhausting responsibility was meager: a cup of tea and a slice of bread a day. Such arrangements were common, as survival for the poorest relied on fragile networks of mutual aid and the charity of others. This photograph is more than a snapshot, it is a window into the crushing inequalities of Victorian society. While industrial Britain was generating immense wealth, many of its citizens were trapped in cycles of poverty, living day to day on the edge of survival. Social reformers later used photographs like this as evidence to push for changes in housing, sanitation, and welfare laws, laying the groundwork for Britain’s eventual social safety nets. © Historical Photos #archaeohistories

More competence, intelligence & ability to speak English in one statement by the leader of the autonomous country of Greenland than in the entire career of the pretender to the presidency of the once-respected United States .

@wardjunior @archeohistories Yeah, we see . You pretended that there aren't real, practical, affordable plans to help poor & hard working people not have to live constantly stress filled lives . Plans like health care for all & a decent minimum wage . Plans that other wealthy nations have successfully done .

@archeohistories Stop talking smack about Victorian or American values …. As if EVERY nation on the planet didn’t have their own poor. Yes, we should help the hardworking class poor folks.. BUT stop bitching without a solution. Build a plan and share it. < see what I did there ??

@CarrieMckevitt @FoxNews The Trump-Hoover-Putin American Treason & Gestspo Center .

@Earth_Media_ @FoxNews Trump Hoover Hotel D.C.

MOVING OUT: FBI Director Kash Patel announced that the bureau has finalized plans to permanently close the J. Edgar Hoover FBI Building, ending years of debate over the agency's deteriorating headquarters. The FBI HQ will relocate most of its staff to the existing Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center in Washington, D.C.

@Jeff_Moore_CBRE @FoxNews Right after Trump announces the US will officially become a province of Russia .

@FoxNews When will they prosecute Comey, Brennan and the rest of that corrupt circus of clowns

@shawnsjam @United24media Ukraine will be in NATO . Putin will fall . Stop being a Russian shill .

@United24media I love all of these armchair diplomats who know nothing. Ukraine will never be in nato unless Europe wants a war with the soviets

⚡️ BREAKING: Zelenskyy says Ukraine wanted NATO from the start, but the US and some European countries did not support it. He says bilateral US security guarantees modeled on NATO’s Article 5, backed by Europe and others, are already a compromise by Ukraine, and that US Congress approval is crucial.

@mel_marie01 It's clear . The 'S' on the hat is starting to dissolve . It's forming a whole new slogan - 'Unlimited Soviet Asset !'

This is the photo they merits attention today. Check out the enhanced version.

@theophilus367 @RpsAgainstTrump No we didn't .

@RpsAgainstTrump We thought Jeffery was bluffing.

Didn't age well

@RonFilipkowski I was so busy yesterday I never even read why I was seeing pics ofall those white cowboy hats on whoever was present for the day’s Oval Office casting call. Now I’m crushed to find that the young players who beat the Soviet Union are now kow-towing to the Russian suck-up. That 1/

@BeatlesEarth Way better . Thanks, George .

24 years ago today, George Harrison left the earth better than he found it. His last words were, “Everything else can wait, but the search for God cannot wait, and love one another” For his music, humor, and kind spirit, we thank & remember him every day - but especially today.

@washingtonpost I realize the Post no longer employs enough competent journalists to accurately cover news that offends the individual currently residing at what's left of the White House. But the incompetence here is stunning. It's the UN Climate Conference. Not the US . #TheWashingtonBezost

A draft agreement on climate change under discussion at the United Nations climate summit in Brazil fails to mention fossil fuels, the primary factor driving global warming, drawing outrage from many countries and environmentalists. wapo.st/3Xaa10E

Sounds like Trump has issued the all-maggots-on-deck alert . Everybody Distract !! rawstory.com/steve-bannon-2…

@RpsAgainstTrump Do it for Charlie . Release the files .

Charlie Kirk: "The DOJ should immediately move to unseal all the Epstein...Every file should be released to the public."

@donwinslow @ZelenskyyUa With apologies for the lack of decorum, there's only one way to say it - #TrumpIsPutinsPussy

Donald Trump attacked @ZelenskyyUa because he stood up for his country when it was invaded by Russia. Trump never attacked Putin for thousands and thousands of documented cases of war crimes. RAPES DISMEMBERMENTS CHILD KIDNAPPING CHILD MURDER Donald Trump will always be a PIG.

@thejackhopkins @artinallofus Necessary, accurate & impressive . Thanks .

Let me level with you the way I’d level with a client sitting across my desk: 1. While she may very well be a very nice woman, she is clearly not the "world's expert on narcissists. (although, she may well appreciate you...bestowing her with that title.) 2. She’s not entirely wrong…but she’s running a mile past the facts...and sprinting straight into the land of mythology...not psychology. And if you want to understand narcissists...and more importantly, protect yourself from them...you can’t afford to build your worldview on myths...exaggerations...or sci-fi explanations. That’s...how people get blindsided. So here’s where her analysis goes off the rails...point by point. 1. “They have no emotions.” Wrong. Flat-out. Narcissists and psychopaths have emotions...strong ones...they’re just not the kinds most people lead with. They experience: rage humiliation envy agitation excitement grandiosity impulsive thrill-seeking What they lack is emotional regulation...not emotional circuitry. Psychology 101. 2. “They don’t experience fear or shame.” Also wrong. Narcissists experience intense fear and shame, but here’s the twist: They experience them so painfully…so overwhelmingly… that their entire personality becomes one big armored suit designed to avoid those feelings at all costs. They’re dominated by shame. Not immune to it. 3. “They’re motivated only by sadism and control.” This is where the movies have rotted people’s brains. Yes...narcissists crave control. Yes...some enjoy causing pain when their ego is threatened. But their primary motivations are: validation admiration status power image dominance ego-protection fear-avoidance Sadism isn’t the engine...it’s the tantrum. Control isn’t the purpose...it’s the shield. 4. “Higher achievement only happens for control.” Partially true...but still shallow. Narcissists pursue achievement for two reasons: External image maintenance Internal void-avoidance Control is part of it...but not the whole pie. Achievement...especially flashy...public achievement...is a way to outrun the internal collapse...they feel stalking them at all times. It’s not about legacy. It’s about anesthesia 5. “They manipulate because of brain anomalies.” Nope. They manipulate because: it works it gets rewards they practiced it early nobody stopped them they grew up in environments that reinforced it it became their survival strategy Yes...there are neurological correlates. No...the human brain is not a comic-book organ where one “broken part” produces perfect villains. Manipulation is behavioral...not biomechanical destiny. 6. “They’re a different subspecies.” This is where I drop the hammer: No. Absolutely not. Stop right there. Once you start calling people “another species,” you step out of psychology...and wander into the historic territory where atrocities get justified. That's just nutty. They’re not different beings. They’re not monsters. They’re not aliens. They’re humans whose coping mechanisms hardened into a destructive personality structure. They didn’t hatch from a reptile egg. They were shaped.. 7. The part she misses entirely: Narcissists are predictable...not supernatural. When you think they’re emotionless demons with “anomalous brains,” you make them sound mystical...and unbeatable. They’re not. They’re: fragile reactive predictable humiliationally sensitive ego-addicted desperate for image-maintenance constantly scanning for threats to their status The entire narcissistic personality is one giant “avoid humiliation at all costs” operating system. That’s the key. Not brain anomalies. Not sadism. Not subspecies mythology. Understand that...and you understand everything about how they behave. P.S. You're welcome. 😎

Everyone talks about what narcissists do. Almost no one talks about how they’re made. Today, I’m cracking that open.👇 JackHopkinsNow.com

@Revkin @algore We. Can. Do. Both. We. Must. Do. Both.

See all the bluesky greens trashing Bill Gates for pressing the case for resilient development as a core climate strategy (i.e. what is often shorthanded as #adaptation) I think back to @algore's learning curve from 1990 to 2013...
