Healthy masculinity is understanding that many younger men look up to you, so you must be a role model for them. Manifest that in whatever way you believe is best, and you are a healthy masculine person. (This is just, like, my opinion)

I'd be ok with a federal minimum wage of $7.25/hr solely for prisoners, so long as the rest of us get $18. I also would be ok with prisoners having a right to stay in their cell and not work

New religions are founded every day. The issue is that they are either united by notions, which are squishy, or by a cult leader claiming divine inspiration. The squishy ones don't last long, or else get taken over by a cult leader.

If anyone would know how to pronounce it, it's a computer

In my personal journey, I came to be permanently skeptical of all organized religions. None of them are infallible, all of them are a cult to a degree. Here are some other beliefs I hold today:

1 - There might be something real behind exorcisms and hauntings, regardless of the validity of the religions who treat them. I base this on conversations I've held with witnesses I trust.

2 - I don't think there is only one higher power. Whether there are tiers, I cannot say.

3 - The evidence for reincarnation is fascinating. Check out the history of the university of Virginia and it's department dedicated to the supernatural.

4 - Some people can see/commune with the dead. Whether any can do it at will is another story. Most of the people I believe are private about it, most of those who sell the service seem phony.

5 - Although I don't believe in any religion, I was my best self when I did. Faith in a moral cause does wonders for the soul, regardless of factuality. Prayer, meditation, and ritual are good for the soul. Community is incredible.

If the Dems didn't want this they shouldn't have dressed that way /s

Isn't this a tactic he's done countless times over the last several decades?

We should be concerned about both.

The Latin American gang crisis is real. Biden wanted to tackle it, and Congress said no. They have funding from c#ina to create issues at our border to destabilize us.

Of course, every single arrested person deserves due process. Many are being targeted maliciously right now under false pretenses.

Ruzzia is of course the greater threat. They are also very weak right now. Their victory with US sabotage is honestly their biggest win in decades, and their other fronts are utter failures. But their cruelty and focus on our demise has resulted in a surgical counterintelligence strike that will forever harm American life much moreso that the Latin American gangs.

The greatest threat is c#ina, should they get more involved.

You are correct. It falls on all of America, starting with the justice system, to recognize that order.

We need to save due process.

Exactly. Both things that a day before we were told could never happen.

The game is not over

Bukele has already blinked.

I am not worried for Booker. The tide is slowing down, and may turn soon if the pressure continues from all sides. Trump has played his hand badly.

I strongly believe that this movement needs some epic, historical, unstoppable chants and slogans. I also believe that recent history proves that such chants and slogans tend to follow a simple formula: 3 words only, each word being only one syllable.

Here are the most impactful chants of the last few decades:

  • Yes We Can.
  • Feel The Bern.
  • Eat The Rich.
  • Drain The Swamp.
  • Build The Wall.

These appeal to short attention spans. They are emotional. Sometimes they even imply a policy. They fit on a hat or t shirt or bumper sticker. They are ear worms. They have lasted.

When we make them wordier, they can make for a fun meme or moment, but history forgets them quickly.

I propose we mass brainstorm similar three word chants for the issues and policies of the day, until a winning chant is adopted by a charismatic leader to challenge Trump. I hope you all encourage your peers to workshop along these lines until a clear winner emerges within the movement.

Here are a few suggestions to kick things off:

  • No More Kings.
  • Let Goods Flow.
  • Free Means All.
  • Rise Or Fall.

If you have an idea or suggestion, please share in the comments. If you join a protest, see if any of these stick. We're all in this together!
