From the author of _Neuro Tribes, Steve Silberman, a strong endorsement of this NYT Opinion piece/Guest Essay_

My Son and Gus Walz Deserve a Champion Like Tim Walz

Incandescently brilliant piece by Tina Brown on her autistic son and Gus Walz. We must BURY Trump and Vance at the ballot box and shovel dirt down the throat of the zombie corpse of the former Republican party. Please spread this gift link.

I hadn't noticed how Fox & Fiends were apparently ridiculing a proud, exhuberant son, #TrumpVirus style - pure ignorance & disrespect. Then I saw the reports, not surprising but a reminder of the hate & #disinformation spreading #GQP #media can be.

#tolerance #respect #AllKindsofMind #ADD #Autism #spectrum #psychology #Walz #GusWalz

Supposedly unlocked, but YMMV.... So above is the heart of it. #truth

Sunday Edition :))

Rule # 1
#Truth = #DonOld #TrumpVIrus’ Kryptonite

Skimming the Sunday news buzz, there’s one HUGE story bubbling up now, the news yesterday and reactions today:

Trump’s 271-Page Dossier of JD Vance’s ‘Vulnerabilities’ Hacked by Iran

Remember the public and loud, lusty call from Dark Lord to hack and release incriminating Hillary emails?
“Russia, if you’re listening…”

Well, it turns out that - reported in a twist of #Karma by Lord Stable Genius himself - there was some new foreign-agent hacking going on, and this time its emails of #JDVance - suggesting something “big, really big” is in there, and this time Donald “thinks” differently.

Because Sir #TrumpVirus is now begging the (“fake” = #truth ) MSM not to report out any of the now-leaked memos.
Hm… how big could that blow up, if we #FollowTheMoney and smell from Vance up to the big boys?!

And why does Vance matter? Who picked him? Oh… So if the VP’s in the race don’t matter, what could go wrong?

Just saying… No time to dig more into the Interwebs now… that story reported by CNN and others across the #media spectrum.

Main Idea in a few reports (along with headlines like "Trump's Brain Explding)... the kind version:

A growing sense that “Trump is beginning to feel vulnerable.”

Ya think? Poor him. So unfair!

"... in their starched white shirts" - Look! It's our keepers!

This song perfectly pitched as we see so much of it.
A good song for some ads &/or memes I'd say. #truth

Thinking #PeterThiel #JDVance #Mellon #GQP #Heritage #SCROTUS #TrumpVirus Inc... the whole #Oligarchy

Have you seen the bigger piggies in their starched white shirts?
You will find the bigger piggies stirring up the dirt
Always have clean shirts to play around in

Now's here a hopeful whiff of reality rising from the cesspool of #MTG / #GQP / #MAGAtville

NYT: Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Spiral Of Embarrassment And Shame Has Reached A Point Where “Members Of Her Own Team Feel Compelled To Abandon Her”

"She's digging her own hole past the point of return."

“She has, in very little time, undermined the influence of her party’s entire right flank, driving less unhinged Republicans — most notably the House speaker, Mike Johnson — to brush back her and her ilk like the poo-flinging chaos monkeys they are,” Cottle writes before going on to add, “I may be off base here, Marjo, but trashing your colleagues as no better than the other side in a high-stakes election year is not the best way to win them over to your kamikaze mission.”

We see that we have been thoughtless,
Straying from the path of #mindfulness.
We have stored up #afflictions and #ignorance,
Which have brought about so much #aversion and #sorrow.
There are times we have been weary of life
Because we are so full of #anxiety.
Because we do not understand others,
We are #angry and #resentful.
First we try to #reason with each other, then we #blame.
Every day the #suffering increases, making the rift greater.
There are days when we are unwilling to speak to each other,
Unwilling to look at each other in the face.
And we create internal formations, which last for a long time.

TIME AND AGAIN I am surprised how people who adorn themselves with being OH SO VERY #SPIRITUAL, with #BUDDHISM and #MINDFULNESS … people who praise #COMPASSION in speech or writing … how they FAIL TO REALIZE that their consumption and use of animal products (meat, dairy, leather …) depends on the #suffering of #Nonhuman_Persons, on #captivity, #exploitation, #forced_labour, #torture, and finally, #murder.

Folks, that’s #LIP_SERVICE_SPIRITUALITY.

THEN I REMEMBER how I did the same, how I was in that same state of #denial, for most of my life, even when I was vegetarian: I still ate cheese, curd, eggs, and I wore leather shoes and belts, thus showing the other animals that I am powerful enough to clothe me in their skins, a permanent menace to them!
