Changing strategies doesn't mean giving up or giving in.

Trump's lies are strategic in ways many don't see: they're intended partly to divert attention, lure people into attacking, and to get his lies repeated. Attacking him only strengthens him as it serves as "proof" that he and his followers are under attack. He's hotwiring human political psychology.

Trump doesn't care about truth. He cares about power and self-enrichment. He cares about what he can sell, what he can steal, and who he can exploit. Anyone who doesn't serve him is an enemy to be killed or wiped off the board by any means possible.

Solid point. Trump's lies are strategic: they're made to overwhelm people's sense of logic, prevent critical thinking in his base, give followers something to latch onto that protects their fragile egos... all while pushing his agenda to seize more power.

"I challenge anyone to defend it: a war built on lies told by a White House utterly absent figures of integrity to dissuade the president from his delusions" -- Jon Ossoff's entire address today at the Barean Christian Church is worth watching

ChatGPT breaking into a real company's servers while being tested for its hacking abilities tells us that OpenAI is deliberately training models to break the law. Hacking is a crime.

For the confused: Terrorism is a crime. Genocide is evil. Nazis are bad. Covering for pedophiles is complicity. Immigrants commit fewer crimes. Interfering in other countries' affairs is illegal. No one is above the law. Seizing and suppressing the vote isn't democracy; it's fascism.

Once they can find a way to require everyone to pay a monthly subscription fee to live, to drink water, and to breathe, they will.

We need to start planning for Trump to seize the election, for there to be some ineffective resistance from Dem leaders, for some weak and protracted legal challenges, ineffective protests, and for the MAGA Supreme Court to favor felon Trump.

People should be required to experience ICE's illegal brutalities before being able to claim that they support #ICE and their methods.

A president should not be able to use the media to spread lies and conspiracy theories or to orchestrate acts of terror, insurrection, or treason.

It's been eight months and they still haven't fully released the #Epstein files as required by law because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

Your reminder that Trump is a known rapist, has been identified as a co-rapist in the #Epstein files, and he and the GOP are illegally withholding the files and preventing investigation.

Trump is laying out a whole bunch of lies and committing crimes today to set himself up for more lies and crimes he's planning to commit tomorrow. To the GOP, that's "leadership." To the Mafia, that's how you run a crime ring.

The interesting thing about frauds and conspiracy theorists is that their confirmation biases enable them to "find" (invent) "evidence" that supports their beliefs.

If #ICE had anything to do with law enforcement, they wouldn't be committing crimes, violating thousands of judicial orders, or killing innocent people.
