Freedom Socialist Party

Anti-Queer Christian Bigotry got a fierce reception from Anti-Fascist protesters in Seattle. The Freedom Socialist Party evidently has more backbone than the Democratic Party.

Coming Chaos

The future is dark--literally. The Iberian peninsula power blackout from Lisbon to Barcelona on April 28, 2025 demonstrates the vulnerability of modern technology-reliant systems. As noted by former New York City deputy commissioner in the Office for Emergency Management Kelly McKinney, "In complex systems, disaster is not the exception; it’s the destination."

Unreasonable Choices

To Dye For, the documentary film about the effect of synthetic food dyes on the behavior and mental health of children, helps to explain why there is such a vast mistrust of the U.S. government. In Europe, these dyes are banned because they can cause cancer, but in the United States, they are allowed in school lunch foods and prescription medicine. They have no nutritional value, but they look pretty.

One thing noted in the film that focuses on children who--due to higher sensitivity to dyes--have experienced severe behavioral and mental health problems is that they are literally unable to think. Even if your child is not particularly sensitive, this should prompt others to avoid dyes, which are on food labels.

The fact that the federal government allows carcinogenic additives to our food contributes to the general mistrust of federal agencies charged with protecting public health, and combined with the many other betrayals of trust by our public institutions helps to explain the unreasonable social movement against vaccines. When citizens have to go to other sources to learn the truth, they don't always use reason.

Psychopath President

Canadian Prime Minister Carney met with psychopath U.S. President Trump today. Yesterday, Trump's Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnick, called Canada "a socialist regime feeding off America."

Sucking Up to Trump

University of Washington defends $100 million donor Boeing, which manufactures weapons systems and munitions transferred from the U.S. to Israel, while calling pro-Palestine students antisemitic. As noted by the students, a university should be able to distinguish between antisemitic and anti-Zionist action.

Students United for Palestinian Equality and Return (SUPER UW) said, “We demand that our tuition money and our research not be used to fund and fuel genocide.” 

The University meanwhile appears to be sucking up to Trump.

Crypto Crime

 All fraud, all the time.

Amazon Supports Trump

 Amazon donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration fund.

Balanced Budget Nonsense

You balance the federal budget by taxing the rich who currently pay no taxes, and you curtail bank frauds and war profiteers; you don't cut health and education, leading to America's downfall.

Fighting Fascism

In his State of the State address, Illinois Governor Pritzker recently remarked, “If you think I’m overreacting and sounding the alarm too soon, consider this: It took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic.”
