47 et al CORRUPTION
This was the Tipping Point for me although I really did reach it several several months ago. The volume of corruption of the admin and those its orbit is astounding. Who is “Bitcoin Jesus”? In 2024, billionaire fugitive Roger Ver — nicknamed “Bitcoin Jesus” — was facing federal criminal charges for tax evasion in one of…

Ukraine
Will putin on the ritz invade? Should the US and NATO go to war over Ukraine? Does it make a difference if its a "border excursion," like running some tanks over a farmer's field, versus a full-on invasion? Personally, I'm not sure the US should get involved, being anti-war, but on the other hand, I'm not sure not coming…

The Southern Poverty Law Center Paid the KKK To "Manufacture Extremism"
We've been waiting patiently for this indictment to be handed down. There is ample evidence to prove that the SPLC paid the Ku Klux Klan, and other hate groups, over $3 million to "manufacture extremism", because there wasn't enough of it in real life! President Biden proclaimed that "white extremism" was the biggest…

Keeping Men out of Women's Sports

While my daughter interacted with the larger XY chromosomal goalie, she suffered an injury and her vision is now impaired. I wish that I never co-founded…

SCOTUS (Supreme Court of the United States)
I figured since the death of RBG, with so much attention being cast upon this judicial body, it was time for a thread of its own. I just read an article that two justices, Alito and Thomas, have "lashed out" at the decision that paved the way for legalization of same-sex marriage. Blows my mind that (at least) two justices…

Let's talk about the biggest problems we face today: Issue Related to the Environment.
I've said this before: I believe the issues we face today that will affect us more than anything else involve the environment, the health of the planet. Which doesn't mean I don't think politics or social issues are important. They are! But I am concerned at how overlooked environmental issues are today, and I believe a…

USA Authoritarianism

The all-purpose heavy duty Climate Chaos thread (sprinkled with hope).

Voting Redistricting or Gerrymandering
