Japan has just opened its first osmotic power plant 🌊⚡ This works by mixing fresh & salt water across a membrane, creating pressure that drives a turbine to make electricity. This site will generate 880,000 kWh a year...while helping run a desalination plant providing fresh water to the city 👏

Krasner: So, if what you have is a group of ICE agents, or even the military, coming into Philadelphia and committing crimes—assaults that are illegal, kidnapping, unlawful restraint, obstruction of the administration of justice—they can be prosecuted.

Power isn’t just in governments - it’s in everyday life, shaping what and how we think, determining what is true; subtle, explicit always active What we call knowledge is built inside systems of control and those systems dictate what is normal Resist - question everything and everyone

The effort to terrorize the citizens of the USA is well underway. The owning class has manipulated the minds of MAGA by controlling the information they get, and they approve of this treatment of their fellow citizens, because their misinformation identifies those citizens as "the enemy."

I find myself blocked for reasons I cannot imagine, by people I agree with on almost everything. My difficulty with "left idealism" is much like your own. Nobody can support all those causes simultaneously. But each disagreement loses a set of single-issue voters, the bane of the left.

What we see happening in real time is actually part of Martial Law. Oh, it hasn’t been officially declared, but his federal takeover plans for cities across the nation…under the cloak of “attacking crime,” is pre-positioning for when he does. It will happen prior to the November elections. Watch.

He's creating support for the narrative that the cities are out of control. His base will believe it, and the troops will be accustomed to the idea. This is their plan to avoid 2026. Once troops are attacked, they will unite against the attackers. Their constitution and oaths become irrelevant.

I don’t understand the motivation here. Is he testing this out for future use? Is he trying to get folks used to the idea of martial law for when he uses it to postpone elections? Is he trying to incite violence like he did in LA but failed, or is this just police state stuff?

No matter how many times people say they don't protest Trump or pressure him because he won't listen, the reality is he's a weak-minded praise-addicted fool who crumbles when there's real pushback, especially from the media. TACO isn't just about tariffs. But you do have to...you know...push back.

The basic difficulty "the left" has is its tendency to form circular firing squads. The heart of being on "Left" is economics, and I unapologetically know more about real economics than most leftists and any mainstream economists. I just demonstrated that with a book.
