Trump’s Truth Social rant after the Grammys tells us everything we need to know about how mind control works.

When you see the same pattern repeated, the lying, the attacks on anyone who criticizes him, the outrage at celebrities like Trevor Noah, it becomes clearer how this reinforces an information bubble. I’ve spent nearly 50 years studying mind control since leaving the Moon cult in 1976, and Trump’s behavior follows the same pattern I saw when I realized my former leader was lying to me. Once the lie cracks in a person's mind, the entire illusion begins to crumble.

But tens of millions of Americans are still trapped in a reality where Trump is framed as a great leader and the economy is “amazing,” despite all evidence to the contrary. And now he’s openly trying to federalize the elections, exactly what authoritarian leaders do when they fear losing power. That’s why we need people who understand undue influence, people willing to speak up, and communities committed to freedom of mind.

Have you noticed friends or family repeating Trump’s talking points after moments like the Grammys? What stood out to you?

"You can't physically chuck a 13-year-old over a school gate and say: ‘Go on, get in.’"

Actor Anna Maxwell Martin, who's navigated the SEND system as a parent, tells #R4Today that attitude is just as important as funding to help support children with special educational needs.

@JodieSmitten @SheffieldLuke That's a good choice of research topic. We definitely more knowledge about autistic burnout.

@rosa_hoekstra @ShefAutismRes @Telegraph @utafrith @HappeLab There isn't any logical reason to think more men would be affected.

[Shona @Shona_Mu]

@rosa_hoekstra @ShefAutismRes @Telegraph @utafrith @HappeLab We can't know if it is true that more men are affected than women. It may be but one thing that we do know is that we can't possibly know that given the diagnostic criteria is flawed and biased to men. And diagnosticians have bias because of the belief more men are affected.

@chrisbrighton10 @m46197009 @LBC @LittleGravitas Agree. Also it isn't a person's life choice that greedy food manufacturers put sugar in everything because it is a cheap preservative or that governments don't legislate or have government policy that supports people to be healthy
It's not as simple as just individual choice

https://t.co/P9EZeo0W9P A 2018 study published in Advances in Autism found ABA participants were 86% more likely to meet the diagnostic criteria for PTSD than autistic people who were not exposed to the therapy. Nearly half of those affected displayed PTSD symptoms that would be considered at “extreme levels of severity.”

Why are they 'suspicious'? Is it because so many people have lied to them? If so that's not aggression it's common sense.

I could go on...

[Shona @Shona_Mu]

The reason why the behaviour is happening is the important part.

Why is the person 'disobedient'? Is it because they are being asked to do things that hurt them. E.g. go into situations that cause sensory overload.

I’ve not found a good way to show off the pages of this… until now!

BEHOLD my colouring book of empowering phrases that celebrate women, brought to life by the magic of stop-motion animation. It involved lots of fiddly bits and a fair bit of swearing, but it looks cool, no?!

It is unethical to throw a sandwich in the bin when it is perfectly fine for eating and there is a person there who wants to eat it.

What a joke. People are so weird. They should making the effort to get their tuna sandwiches eaten by someone not binning them

[Shona @Shona_Mu]

@ekverstania @Kosjenka And adults! Doesn't work on all of us though.

Completely ridiculous
