"I couldn't care less what Trump thinks about me. He's the living personification of what the 25th Amendment and impeachment were for. If Congress had any guts, he'd be consigned to the trash heap of history!"
- BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN
Do you agree with Springsteen?
Too on point not to share, “Aussie reply to Trump rant about NATO not being there for us.
Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
"NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your fucking mouth. Credit (borrowed from) Jim Scroggins - original author 📷 unknown”
IMPORTANT: This is a "share post" to try to mess with X Right Wing algorithms.
If you see Trump as a threat to life on earth. If you are an ally to LGBTQ. If you actually believe and push for human rights. Retweet!
If I don't already follow you I will....

I predicted someone like Trump many years ago, in THE DEAD ZONE. So now I'm saying this--in the next 12-16 months, we're going to find out if the two machines for the removal of a man unable to fulfill his duties actually work. They are impeachment and the 25th amendment. He is deeply unwell .
What baffles me about homophobia is this: gay people don’t affect your finances, your health, or your progress in any way. So going out of your way to spread hate just means you’re just a horrible person. Also, using religion doesn’t make you less horrible.
Let’s do it again. Giving away a red bill hat from the Cubs team store for every Cubs HR today. Retweet #TeamRedBill and follow @obvious_Shirts to enter.
And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media.
A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children.
Let’s keep this in the spotlight every day
⚡️Starship is the most important machine on Earth because it is the only serious bridge between a trapped species and a spacefaring one.
That is the real truth.
Everything else is downstream of lift cost. Moon bases, Mars cities, orbital industry, space solar, off world mining, deep space telescopes, mass drivers, lunar factories, all of it stays trapped in PowerPoint until you can move huge amounts of mass off Earth cheaply, repeatedly, and at industrial cadence. Starship is the attempt to break that lock. If it works, the future stops being metaphor and starts becoming logistics.
That is why people respond to it like a symbol. They can feel that it carries more than hardware. Modern civilization has become psychologically small. It worships management, caution, compliance, and local optimization. Starship says scale again. Build again. Risk again. Leave again. In a world trained to think inside ceilings, that feels almost religious.
The deeper reason it matters is power. A civilization that stays bound to one planet stays bound to one set of bottlenecks. One gravity well. One biosphere. One grid. One political surface. One set of supply chains. One cluster of elites deciding what is possible. A civilization that can industrialize beyond Earth changes the structure of power itself. More energy. More room. More redundancy. More survival. More strategic depth. More future.
That is why Starship is so much bigger than SpaceX. It is the opening bid for off world industry. Once heavy lift becomes cheap and routine, the moon becomes operational. Once the moon becomes operational, infrastructure begins. Once infrastructure begins, throughput replaces spectacle. Then the human story stops being purely terrestrial.
The real view is brutal and simple.
If Starship succeeds, the ceiling over the species cracks.
If Starship fails, humanity remains psychologically and physically trapped longer than people understand.
Bottom line:
People love Starship because they can feel that it is carrying more than cargo.
It is carrying the claim that humanity does not have to accept a smaller destiny.
