The insurance industry does not want you to know this:

Medicare for All would cover everyone. It would cost most families less than what they pay right now. It would eliminate the bureaucratic nightmare that wastes billions of dollars every year. Money that could go toward actual care.

The only people who lose under Medicare for All are the executives pocketing billions while denying your claims.

That is exactly why they fight it. And exactly why we have to fight harder.

The worst "creatures" on the planet are PEDOPHILES. I wouldn't even categorize them as HUMAN. And ANIMALS are far superior. PEDOPHILES lack any decency, self control, empathy, compassion, or basic humanity. They're sociopaths, narcisssists, psychopaths, and megalomaniacs. They cannot be rehabilitated. Society rejects them so fully that they're at risk of being murdered by other prisoners when incarcerated for their crimes against children. That's why the Epstein Class found a way to hijack America's entire government to hide what they've done. They rigged our elections to install the ring leader, Trump, and filled Congress, our federal agencies, and the Supreme Court with loyalists. Now they're desperate to remain in power. These sick fucks are a danger to the entire world, because not only do they rape children, but they have no problem committing every other crime imaginable, including genocide. We must remove them at any cost. If they win in November, we'll know the Midterms were rigged, just like in 2024. At least 75% of America want them ousted, and we will all make sure to vote! I really wish we had stronger Democratic leadership who would provide the evidence of 2024 being rigged, or call for the removal of the Trump Regime under Article II, Section 4. I'm not sure it would work, but I don't understand why they won't even try.

🚨 let me tell you what this actually costs you because I'm sure most people don't know..

Obama returned $1.7 billion to Iran..

and here's the part nobody wants to say out loud.. that was Iran's own money.. impounded funds.. a Hague-related ruling.. not a single dollar of yours..

the Strait of Hormuz was open the entire time.. free.. no deal required.. no war required..

now run the math on what just changed..

Trump backed a conflict that closed the Strait.. 20% of the world's oil supply.. gone.. and the proposed fix is a $300 billion reconstruction fund for Iran.. linked to US envoys Witkoff and Kushner.. pending Trump's final sign-off..

$1.7 billion of Iran's own money = open strait..

$300 billion of your money = maybe open strait.. for 60 days..

that's a 17,547% cost increase to get back to where we started..

and the people who spent years screaming about the $1.7 billion are the same people calling this 4D chess..

the system worked for someone today.. just not for you.

I'll share more updates shortly, turn on notifications before it's too late.

Wind turbines are recycled, it’s not 2014 anymore.

One of the internet’s favourite anti-renewable myths is “you can’t recycle wind turbines.”

That argument is years out of date, yet the loons still try and use it as some sort of “got ya” to make themselves feel better.

Modern wind turbines are largely recyclable already.

Steel, copper, aluminium and concrete from turbines are routinely recovered and reused.

Even the blades, which used to be the difficult part, are now being recycled into cement, construction materials, playground equipment and industrial products.

Companies are also developing fully recyclable blades, with newer designs already entering the market.

Meanwhile, fossil fuels are burned once and gone forever. Oil spills, air pollution and billions of tonnes of CO2 don’t exactly get “recycled.”

No energy source is impact free, but pretending wind turbines just get dumped in landfill forever simply isn’t true anymore.

Technology moves on.

The myths just haven’t caught up.

we live on a planet where trees warn each other of danger through a fungal network. Where octopuses dream.
Where elephants return to the bones of the deceased and stand over them in silence. Where bees use dance to communicate where to fly and where the flower is.
Where crows remember the faces of people who were cruel to them and pass this memory to their children.
Where ants build cities. Where cats purr at a frequency that accelerates the healing of bones.
Where, after a forest fire, the first thing the earth does is grow flowers.

A sheep that is not sheared, dies.

Slowly. Wetly. With flies in the fleece and a temperature it cannot regulate.

The modern sheep, descended from twelve thousand years of selective breeding, no longer sheds its fleece naturally. It cannot. If left unshorn, the fleece keeps growing, traps moisture against the skin, attracts flies, develops fly strike, and kills the sheep slowly and unpleasantly over the course of a wet summer.

Shearing is not done to the sheep. Shearing is done for the sheep.

The shearer arrives in May. The sheep is held still for ninety seconds. The fleece comes off in one piece. The sheep stands up, shakes itself, and walks back into the field roughly four kilograms lighter and visibly relieved. The fleece becomes a jumper that will outlive three of your phones.

The alternative, the one being marketed as compassionate, is acrylic. Polyester. A petroleum-derived plastic spun into fibres that shed microplastics into every wash, every wear, every breath of wind, for as long as that garment exists. Which is forever. Acrylic does not biodegrade. It only breaks down into smaller pieces of acrylic.

The sheep needed shearing. The oil rig did not need drilling.

Have a think about which one is actually cruel.

[Humanity First @Atomsmade]

Without religion, we wouldn’t have had the 9/11, Crusades, the Inquisition, witch hunts, jihads, burning heretics, slavery justified by holy books, systemic subjugation of women, honor killings, female genital mutilation, or eternal thought crimes.

Religion has been one of the most effective tools for justifying human cruelty, division, and stupidity for thousands of years.

All countries should seriously consider banning organized religion for the greater good of humanity.

It’s time we grew the fuck up!

If capitalism is so great, why do corporations need so many tax breaks, subsidies, exemptions, grants, legal protections, bailouts, and trade protections?

When citizens need these things, why is it socialism?

BREAKING: Trump whines to Hannity he can’t brag about profiting off the Iran war because of “the little man with the $4 gasoline”!

In a rare moment of self-awareness, Donald Trump admitted to Sean Hannity that he’s holding back from openly celebrating huge profits from the Iran War, because Americans are getting crushed by $4-a-gallon-and-rising gas.

Trump complained:

“I don’t want to say we’re making a fortune … because if I say it, they’re going to say, ‘He forgets about the little man with the $4 gasoline.’”

And who exactly is "we" making a fortune?

We'll venture a guess and say it's Trump's billionaire buddies in the defense and oil industries who are cleaning up on government contracts, and will be happy to throw a sliver in campaign contributions and contracts to firms where his family members are "special advisors."

But he’s bummed he can’t openly brag about it because working the country full of suckers and losers are suffering at the pump as a direct result of his foreign policy disasters.

The condescension of referring to struggling, hard working Americans as “the little man” is just breathtaking.

Trump is so out of touch that he’s complaining about not being able to gloat publicly about war profits, which is what he so wants to do but is being told by his handlers to keep his fat yap shut.

The “little man” he mocks is exactly who’s getting hurt by his tariffs, wars, and failures of leadership. Instead of trying to lower costs for working families, Trump is upset that their pain is stopping him from doing his victory dance on television.

The man is literally worried about not getting a “win” out of the stupid war while families are choosing between filling up their tank and filling up their fridge. To him, it's annoying PR problem, not a real crisis hurting millions of his constituents.

The “little man with the $4 gasoline” – that’s you and us, folks – deserves a president who actually cares about their struggles, not a total douchebag who sees them as an inconvenience to his bragging rights.
If you’re disgusted by Trump’s total detachment from the lives of working Americans, like and share this post.

Elon Musk has taught me that with effort, a strong entreprenueurial spirit, an emerald mine, a lot of exploitation, self-dealing, white privilege, a bad hair transplant, supplemental testosterone, an expired student visa, a charity that gives money to itself, ecstasy, ketamine, weed, cocaine, Ozempic, people loathing you so much they pay you to go away and most of all a sh*tload of government subsidies, you can accomplish whatever you want in America.

The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States for the seventh time won the war that wasn’t a war, so the United States can open the Strait of Hormuz that was open before the not war.

The not war that started to get the uranium that was completely obliterated, so that the Iranians can’t build the nuclear bomb that they weren’t building for the not war that the United States started.

Then the United States which has nuclear weapons threatening to use nuclear weapons to prevent Iran from having nuclear weapons because having nuclear weapons is dangerous.

If the United States saw what the United States is doing in the United States, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

The Girl From Yerevan
Ani is seven years old. She lives in Yerevan, Armenia. She has never owned a television. She speaks no English. Last Tuesday, while eating bread with her grandmother, she said something to the effect that the American president had very small hands.

She said it quietly. To no one in particular.

It traveled, as these things apparently do, across the Caucasus, over the Black Sea, through the Balkans, across the Atlantic, and directly into the most sophisticated early-warning ego-protection system ever constructed by human vanity.

By Thursday morning, the President of the United States had posted seventeen times.

He called Armenia a “TOTAL DISASTER COUNTRY (Fake News!!)”. He misspelled Yerevan twice, differently each time. He suggested, without evidence, that Ani’s grandmother had been paid by George Soros. He demanded an apology. He said his hands were, in fact, larger than those of any president in history, including Lincoln, “who was tall but had WEAK, SKINNY fingers.”

He tagged a senator from Ohio who had nothing to do with any of this. He called the senator a coward. He called NATO “deeply unfair” which confused everyone, including Armenia. He said he had always loved Armenian people, “maybe more than anyone.” He announced a new tariff on pomegranates.

Ani, by this point, had gone to school.
She had a spelling test. She got seven out of ten. She was pleased.

In Washington, the tirade continued into the afternoon. Aides described the mood as “energized.” Pomegranate futures collapsed. Three ambassadors requested clarification. None received it.

Ani walked home. She fed the cat. She did not check Twitter, because she is seven and lives in Armenia.

The ego, undefeated, moved on to its next threat: a cartoonist in Bruges who had drawn the hands slightly too small.

Satire. Ani is fictional. The ego is not.

Never forget that Ronald Reagan tripled the national debt from $738 billion to $2.1 trillion, dropped the income tax rate on the top 1% from 70% to 28%, sold 500 missiles to Iran, let 90,000 Americans die of AIDS, and set into motion the end of mental institutions, creating a massive homelessness crisis that continues to this day. And he’s not even close to the worst president we’ve ever had.

Has Religion Made Useful Contributions to Civilization?

"My own view on religion is that of Lucretius. I regard it as a disease born of fear and as a source of untold misery to the human race. I cannot, however, deny that it has made some contributions to civilization. It helped in early days to fix the calendar, and it caused Egyptian priests to chronicle eclipses with such care that in time they became able to predict them. These two services I am prepared to acknowledge, but I do not know of any others... The knowledge exists by which universal happiness can be secured; the chief obstacle to its utilization for that purpose is the teaching of religion.

Religion prevents our children from having a rational education; religion prevents us from removing the fundamental causes of war; religion prevents us from teaching the ethic of scientific co-operation in place of the old fierce doctrines of sin and punishment. It is possible that mankind is on the threshold of a golden age; but, if so, it will be necessary first to slay the dragon that guards the door, and this dragon is religion."

The current government exists for exactly one reason.

It is to give kickbacks to the donors that helped elect Donald Trump. Period.

AI
Crypto
Private prisons
Banking
Big oil
Military contractors

Every. Single. Move is in service to one of these industries.

Nothing he does is for US. It is for THEM.

If the remaining 32% supporting the continuation of this grift would please just realize this, maybe we could get somewhere.

I cannot unsee this.
I've been watching Trump answer questions for years. The confidence. The certainty. The way he shuts down a room. I genuinely thought he was one of the sharpest communicators alive.
Then one day I caught myself finishing his sentence before he said it.
Not guessing. Knowing. Word for word. Before he said it.
So I pulled the transcripts.
Press conferences. Interviews. Sprays. Egg prices. Greenland. January 6th. Military strikes. Different years. Different reporters. Completely different topics.
Same thing every time.
Every single time Trump is asked a question — any question — he runs the exact same 7 steps. In the exact same order. Without exception.
This is not personality.
This is not confidence.
This is not charisma.
This is a deliberate repeatable formula. And I can prove it.
His actual words. Public record. Verify every single one yourself.
📷 STEP 1 — KILL THE QUESTION
(First thing every time — make the question itself the problem.)
📷 "That's a stupid question." / "Fake news."
📷 STEP 2 — KILL WHO ASKED IT
(Destroy the source so the question has nowhere to stand.)
📷 "Your ratings are terrible. Nobody watches your network."
📷 STEP 3 — INSERT HIMSELF
(Every topic. Every time. Without fail. It always lands here.)
📷 "Nobody has ever done what I've done."
📷 STEP 4 — SCALE IT TO THE BIGGEST CLAIM POSSIBLE
(Not good. Not great. The greatest. Ever. In history. Every single time.)
📷 "More than any administration — by far." / "Nobody has ever had crowds like I've had — in history, for any country."
📷 STEP 5 — UNNAMED PEOPLE AGREE
(Faceless. Countless. Unverifiable. Always there.)
📷 "Smart people are saying it. Great people. A lot of people."
📷 STEP 6 — VAGUE THREAT
(Something bad will happen. Never specified. Always implied.)
📷 "All hell will break out." / "They know it. Believe me."
📷 STEP 7 — LOOP BACK TO HIMSELF
(Different words. Same destination. Formula complete.)
📷 "It's been an amazing period of time. Page after page of accomplishments."
The question was never answered.
The formula just ran.
Go back and watch any clip.
Any year. Any topic. Any reporter.
Count the steps.
I'll wait.
This is the part nobody wants to sit with:
Real conviction engages with the actual question. It sometimes stumbles. Sometimes says I don't know. It changes shape based on what's in front of it.
A formula runs the same 7 steps whether the topic is war or egg prices.
Which means the response was never built for the question.
It was built for you.
To feel powerful. To feel certain. To stop you from noticing that nothing was actually answered.
And it worked.
For years it worked.
Pull any transcript. Public record. Count the steps yourself.
This isn't about politics.
This is about what you were never supposed to notice.
I've found the same deliberate pattern running in another major figure in this administration. Different slots. Same principle. Same effect.
Next post I break it down.
Follow or miss it. VIA~~ Jamie Hoo
