MAGA and the Republican party is based more on fantasy and magical thinking rather than reality.

They will contort themselves to believe the lies, gaslighting and machinations to be true, and in their minds, it will become so.

Donald Trump is literally the emperor with new clothes.

The Two Richard’s…

Richard Wolff & RJ: Economics for a Better Society

Prof. Wolff and RJ ponder the best way to describe Donald Trump's cruel and authoritarian—yet strangely off-kilter and wacky—regime. We know it's not democracy, and we know it's not good—but how exactly should we describe it? That challenge may even stump "the two Richards."

InstagramRenato Subotić | Father of the modern MMA on Instagram: "From Seminar to Cell: My 24 Hours in a U.S. Federal Prison, arrested for to much knowledge in MMA. I arrived in America excited, ready to coach my seminar. It was supposed to be a great trip. Instead, I got stopped at the border. Immigration pulled me aside and took me into an isolated room. The officer interviewing me looked like he was looking for something wrong. It was obvious why I was in the U.S. I gave them every specific detail about my seminar, my plans, everything. They kept me in that room for three hours, asking endless questions, I was collaborative. They told me there was a mistake with my visa and that they were taking me to jail “until they figure out what’s next.” Just like that. No clear explanation, no chance to talk to anyone, no rights. They handcuffed me, put me in a car, and drove me to federal prison. They stripped me of everything. Took my clothes, gave me jail clothes, fingerprinted me, took photos, searched me. Gave me a blanket and sheet. Then they walked me to my block — 4B. The moment the door opened, it was chaos. Fights between gangs. People screaming. Arguing over food, what to watch on TV, crazy people running around. Madness. The guard walked me to cell 221, where there was a filthy mattress with patches of piss and blood. The guard told me to hurry up so I could get some food. I dropped my stuff and went downstairs. While I was in line, four guys started beating the hell out of another guy, smashing his head into the fence. I wasn’t even hungry. I just grabbed an apple, ate it, and walked straight back to my cell. When I got back, two Mexican guys were in there, stealing my blanket and sheet. I said, “Hey bro, what are you doing?” One of them replied, “Getting my stuff.” I said, “That’s my stuff.” And he looked at me and said, “What are you gonna do about it?” We had a fight. I got my stuff back. The other one ran out of the cell, screaming, the people in the nearby cells came to watch what was going on. When the guards rushed up, no one said anything. The guard looked at me and said, “You got a good welcome. Keep your head straight, or you’re gonna stay here longer.”"6,543 likes, 437 comments - coachsubotic on April 5, 2025: "From Seminar to Cell: My 24 Hours in a U.S. Federal Prison, arrested for to much knowledge in MMA.

Notes from the N.H. Underground:

i spent most of my time at todays protest in concord talking to people because as soon as i got there i had to fight the urge to protest in the street and not on the sidewalk.
my opening question was,
"what do you think it's going to take to get people from n.h. to go from holding signs, chanting and waving at honking cars to blocking traffic until they get arrested?"
below are some other signs that i liked with some thoughts i've had from talking to various people there.
(my fav sign i saw said
"due process is disappearing"
and because of the rain the ink was washing away but i didn't get a pic of it, silly me.)
Vive la Résistance!
