It's beginning to look like, maybe, Trump is not listed in the Epstein files. That's cool. It would be refreshing to learn of a crime Trump didn't commit. But why was he so terrified at the files being released? Exactly whose name being revealed frightens Trump as much -or more- than his own?

Is he dead yet?

That's true. AI and automation are replacing humans. Something needs to be done with the surplus. Diseases and prisons will only get them so far, though.

Sharing for others. I don't believe there's a peaceful resolution. Once troops were put on the streets, that door closed. But I support those who still have to try. My caveat is always to be ready, willing, and ABLE to push back against the oppression that will inevitably come. Do not comply.

I think it's shortsighted to plan ONLY on the midterms. That's what we're being told at each stage - "Wait for the midterms." We need to be out in force, now. General strike. Shutting down all commerce and transport. Pushing back against the encroaching police force. We need to be fighting.
