@atensnut 16?

Math time, kids.

@LeahRemini Congratulations!

I graduated!!! I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with a concentration in Psychology, summa cum laude! Five years ago, I started this journey with an eighth-grade education, and even that was from a Scientology school, where critical thinking was discouraged and the quality of instruction was subpar, to say the least. I did not get here alone. Thank you to @NYUSPS and @DeanKamath. Thank you to everyone who supported me, encouraged me, and believed in me, especially on the days I was not sure I could do this. And there were plenty of those days. To my therapist, who told me not to give up when I was told I likely would not be accepted into a prestigious program. To my tutor, without whom I likely would have given up at the harder points along the way. To all those here who have sent me loving messages on social media. And to everyone else who has cheered me on in person through the ups and the downs of it, it means more than I can put into words. It got me over this finish line of being a student again and graduating. That goal once seemed impossible. To those who have asked me, “Why this? Why now?” I pursued higher education to reclaim a piece of myself. When you come out of a high-control group like Scientology, or even a high-control family, there are parts of you that were never allowed to fully develop. Those parts include your curiosity and your ability and right to question. Education was discouraged because knowledge creates confidence in your ability to trust your own mind and navigate the world. That leads to true independence, and that would never be allowed. I wanted that back. But more than that, I needed to understand. I needed to understand how my mother could have us join Scientology when I was just eight years old, and how my family and I could be part of something like this and stay in it for so long. I needed to understand how these systems work, how they influence people, and how they take hold. Without education, access to real information, and support, people can fall into systems that work against their best interests. Some assume that because they are educated, even highly educated, they would never fall for something like this. But it turns out that is not necessarily true. What many of us are impacted by, but never quite understand, is how high-control groups operate. Many still do not understand how misinformation spreads, and how tribalism and radicalization shape what we think, what we believe, and who and what we trust. Without that awareness, none of us are immune. Today, we are seeing how these forces can influence good people and distort reality. History has shown us that this is not new; it just comes in a different form now. Social media connects us in ways we never imagined, but it also creates echo chambers that reinforce beliefs and justify behavior without question. Real critical thinking is hard when we are fed so much by algorithms designed to appeal to us. In learning and achieving this milestone in my own life, it has helped me take a good, hard look at my own beliefs and ideologies. This journey was about healing for me, but also about figuring out how to help others in whatever way I can in the future. So what is in my future? I am considering continuing my education and possibly pursuing a master’s degree, with the goal of contributing to advocacy and policies that protect people, not systems. For now, I am taking this moment in. I am proud of myself. And I am grateful. Thank you for being on this journey with me.

@DavidJHarrisJr Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out!

How would you respond to her?

@AstroVicGlover @NASA @csa_asc Welcome home! Well done. 🇺🇸👍

Home, again! Mission complete. I hope we glorified God, humanity, our families and our terrific teams a @NASA and @csa_asc. Time to share the good news!

@benonwine This sounds like a crime against humanity.

The World Economic Forum has openly admitted what many suspected all along: the COVID-19 pandemic was used as a test to measure how willing the public would be to comply with their long-term vision for the planet. Lockdowns, mandates, travel restrictions, and digital tracking weren’t just emergency measures, they became a real-world experiment in obedience, authority, and behavioral control. Now that the admission is out in the open, people are asking hard questions about consent, accountability, and how far global institutions believe they can push societies during a “crisis.” If COVID was the test run, what does that mean for the future?

@NileGardiner We've already tried fifty years of negotiation and capitulation, plus pallets of cash. That didn't exactly work out.

Treacherous Emmanuel Macron respects the “sovereignty” of the mass murdering Islamist Iranian regime but condemns Brexit and the sovereignty of the British people in leaving the EU. He is indeed a clueless clown.

@NASA @RyanRosenblatt God bless our brave astronauts! 🇺🇸👏

@RyanRosenblatt Everyone who watched the mission with us is the coolest!

THEY SENT FOUR HUMAN BEINGS 252,756 MILES AWAY, WENT FULLY AROUND THE MOON AND BROUGHT THEM BACK TO LAND IN THE PRECISE LOCATION THEY WANTED EVERYONE WHO WORKED ON THIS IS THE COOLEST PERSON ON EARTH

@UNWatch Is this the Babylon Bee?

SHAME: The Islamic Republic of Iran has just been nominated to the U.N. Committee for Program and Coordination, which meets soon to shape policy on women's rights, human rights, disarmament, and terrorism prevention. ECOSOC members who backed this include: 🇬🇧🇪🇸🇨🇦🇫🇷🇩🇪🇳🇴🇳🇱🇦🇺🇨🇭🇦🇹🇫🇮

@GuntherEagleman Don't forget Keith Ellison and Mayor Frey.

Prosecute Tim Walz.

@ThomasSowell He's dangerous to Democrats socialists because he believes in capitalism, supports the middle class, and reduced taxes. Suck it Bernie.

Bernie Sanders: "Obviously, we’ve got to fight Trump every day because he is the most dangerous president perhaps in American history, but we’ve got to do more than that."

@atensnut Woody Harrelson?

I never knew this! Do you recognize him?

@officer_Lew Yeah, right!

@elonmusk Proud to be an American! 🇺🇸🎖

🇺🇸🇺🇸 Welcome home! 🇺🇸🇺🇸

@Old_SchoolEddie Put me down for all. The milk delivery occurred when I was very young.

I remember them all! 😂

@officer_Lew So,why did Virginia elect that liberal POS?

JUST IN🚨: Ouch. Democrat Gov. Abigail Spanberger has the lowest approval rating of any Virginia governor in the entire 21st century, per the Washington Post

@ProudElephant Rosie has become a completely irrelevant, demented, liberal lunatic. She is free to deport to any other country willing to endure her repulsive ideology.

Typical Democrat… All talk and no action.

It’s the liberal way!

@ProudElephant Also, loot billions in taxpayer funding!

@BrandonStraka Isn't the basis on which Title VII, equal opportunity legislation, was passed?

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani unveils a “racial equity plan” directing resources toward “black and brown New Yorkers” across city agencies. Critics argue the policy raises concerns over race-based treatment.
