In the article I address ideas in the 2024 book “Unhumans: The Secret History of Communist Revolutions (and How to Crush Them)” by Jack Posobiec and Joshua Lisec.

"You get more conservative when you get older" only really worked for the generations that got RICHER as they got older.
The real truth was always just "You get more selfish the more money you have".

Jesus HOPPING christ.
If you're a constituent, flood Schumer's inbox. Flood all their inboxes. Better yet, call them. Holy fuck.
Why Does Schumer Keep Trying to Cave?
How the Senate Democratic leader and his Gang of Eight keep trying to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory.

Here’s what occurred. It has been widely assumed that the group of eight mostly centrist Senate Democrats, who have been looking to broker a hollow deal on Republican terms, were free-lancing. In fact, they were acting with the express approval of Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and were reporting to him daily.

Tim Walz on looking forward to debating JD Vance:
"If he’s willing to get off the couch and show up.”
I’m noticing that many of my friends in the Northeast & on the West Coast seem to be feeling very confident about a #Harris win in 2024.
Don’t be.

'You're gonna lose this!' Trump fans rebel against him over 'A.I.' Harris rally claim
Donald Trump is getting pushback on Sunday on his latest conspiracy theory from an unlikely source: his own MAGA supporters.
@Deplorable59 ... told Trump to "STFU about the crowd size."
"She's getting bigger crowds now face that fact. You're gonna lose this!" the user wrote on Sunday. "Stop with this bulls--- - ..."

NEW: “No Separation Between Church and State”: Inside a Texas Church’s Training Academy for Christians Running for Office
--
A Fort Worth church’s candidate training program is the “next stage” of a religion-driven political movement, which has more latitude now that the IRS has allowed religious leaders to endorse candidates from the pulpit, an expert said.

Conservative mom of 6 says Dems better on family policy
Even a former Heritage Foundation writer is now saying that Democrats are the better party when concerning policies that are most beneficial to parents.
In a recent op-ed for Newsweek, conservative activist Bethany Mandel... admitted that the Democratic Party has consistently been a better ally of working-class Americans... better for families...

I’m disgusted with the Democrats in the Senate. Abject capitulation for a promise that means nothing. Way to take your eye off the ball and turn the momentum that was building this last week against you and us.
Your GOP colleagues are laughing their asses off at your cowardice and stupidity. #politics

Saying goodbye to comet A6 Lemmon. It's getting very low, and clouds are increasing in southern New Mexico.
It was a remarkable run of many clear nights.
This is a single exposure on a fixed tripod.
There's a blurred silhouette of a power line, and satellite trails in this image. They belong in the frame because this is the world we have created. It's getting increasingly difficult to escape to pristine nature.
Perhaps the phrase 'pristine nature' is now an oxymoron?
When is the first No Kings General Strike?
We all need to help with community building and boosting civic engagement. These activities have atrophied for decades, and it shows.

French President Emmanuel Macron nominates Michel Barnier as the country’s new prime minister.
@euronews reports: "A loyal veteran of the recently renamed right-wing Republican Right party (LR), Barnier has had a long political career in France and the EU, having served twice as European Commissioner and, between 2016 and 2021, the chief EU negotiator for Brexit."
"#Epstein’s human trafficking organization depended entirely on the wealth management industry (WMI). It was how he obtained the capital to build it, and it was how he hid his activities from the authorities. And none of this was an abuse of the industry; it is precisely how the WMI is designed to work. Nor is it an abuse of the law, because both American and international law has been carefully designed to accomodate the WMI."

A friend just gave me this wonderful analogy about elections:
“Elections aren’t an uber taking you to exactly where you want to go, they’re a train carrying a mass of people to the station nearest your destination.
You have to board the train that’s going in the same direction you want to go, even if it doesn’t take you to the street, or even the town you’re wanting to reach.”
Edit: please don't @ me on this
A China-Africa summit in Beijing takes place as a continent slowly emerging from a series of defaults seeks to define its future cooperation with the Asian nation that partly fueled its debt binge and now faces its own economic headwinds. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/09/05/asia-pacific/politics/china-africa-summit-analysis/ #asiapacific #politics #china #africa #investments #debt
To all of those who think welcoming Marjorie Taylor Greene as an ally might be worth the embrace, while it is true at the moment that she's tossing grenades at mutual foes, remember that anyone who will frag their own, will frag anybody. #Politics

Remember: the only reason that makes sense why #ICE would deny clergy access to the #Broadview detention facility to minister to the detainees is because they believe the substantial bad press and messaging damage from publicly denying clergy access is less bad than the damage that would result from the clergy seeing inside the facility and telling people what they saw.
