@Lobster When psychological manipulation is amplified through carefully orchestrated propaganda in order to achieve goals defined by the cold hard calculus of power and greed then it becomes obvious that someone has realized it is an exacting science.

But, alas, this is just my humble opinion based on observation.

Mathematical science shows what is. It is the language of unseen relations between things. But to use and apply that language, we must be able fully to appreciate, to feel, to seize the unseen, the unconscious.

Jesus Christ. Of COURSE Israel stole all the flotilla aid. When I first heard the claim made that the flotilla was empty and had no aid, I knew that had to be a lie and was waiting for more information on how. Here's how: Israel fucking stole all the aid at sea, according to people who were there.

They don't have a strategy, they're just getting punches in while they can. It is evil and it is vile and we absolutely have to push back with everything we've got. Now is a great time to do that because They are WEAK. They are telling us that.

As I explained earlier, Trump sending federalized troops from one state into another without any request or consent from the second state’s governor takes us over a threshold history may well treat as the start of the Second American Civil War. mastodon.social/@heidilifeldma 5/

Today I saw someone toot, in dismay, people are posting their everyday life to Mastodon when they could simply buy a diary for $1.99. I can't stop thinking about this.
What if this is all they have? What if they're isolated with or without people in their life? What if the only kind word they hear this week is, "That's cool"? I say, post your mundane. Post anything you want. While being silenced everywhere else, don't be silent here.

Very lovely and humourous actor Patricia Routledge, known for her role as Hyacinth Bucket in the British comedy series "Keeping up appearances", has died 96 years old.

Some will now say she "kicked the bucket", but I feel obliged to mention one last time that it is pronounced "bouquet".

White and male in America and think the fascist descent won't impact you?

Watch what happens in six seconds to a white guy just standing on the sidewalk and not immediately complying with some random demand 👇

No one is safe. Not the former FBI head ...and not Trump's former NatSec appointee. 👏 NO👏 ONE 👏

Never ever let conservatives have power for too long, or else you will end up like the USA.

At this point, the Trump regime seems determined to start a second hot American Civil War, as I explained here, mastodon.social/@heidilifeldma. But I will follow tonight’s court proceedings. 2/

Federal agents knock down elderly couple during Portland protest

“It was totally unprovoked. It was not the kind of crowd that shouts the ‘F word.’ It was people like us, our neighbors. There were families, there were several veterans,” Laurie Eckman told The Oregonian/OregonLive. “With no warning the feds charged into us, knocked us down and sprayed us. I was hit in the head with a projectile.”

Last month Judge Diane Goodstein ruled against the Trump regime, and blocked the State of South Carolina from giving millions of voter data files to the DOJ.

Last week Harmeet Dhillon of Trump's DOJ openly condemned Judge Goodstein's ruling in a tweet.

Yesterday Trump lackey Stephen Miller called "left wing judges & lawyers" as "terrorists" requiring force to rebuke.

Now this is Judge Goodstein's home, on fire, and being investigated for arson.

Probably just a coincidence.
