I like your style, Joyce. You are taking a stand head-on and digging for the truth. It's hard to find in all the kerfuffle. You have humor in your articles and you challenge the brainwash. You still have your heart and head about you.
I love the idea of satire and humor in art, music, videos, dance, writing, mimicry. I think it is a way to stand up to tyranny - one as old as humanity and probably many other species. :)
Joyce, you're turning into a fine investigative journalist! This stuff is too absurd to not be made fun of... oh Please, Universe... bring back JibJab! Here's one from the vault: 2024 I believe - Bush Jr vs Kerry - but it made me laugh.
True, but the more we let them intimidate us, the more control they have. Narcissists LOVE attention - even negative attention. They HATE being ignored or being laughed at. I know the billionaire-class overlords are ruthless, but if the only freedom I have is to laugh at the absurdity from time to time, I'll take it. BTW, I captured a few pics in that ridiculous collage and can't wait to try a few memes of them. :D
I wonder if by constantly saying the psychopathic monsters' names (at least the ones we know, who are certainly not at the top of the pyramid), we are giving them vibrational energy that they don't deserve, yet feed off of, since they seem to feed on chaos? The last thing i am is a new-ager, but i think it bears some thought. Challenging their policies, exposing their crimes and fraud and scurrilous connections - I'm all for it. I'm just not sure the craze of fear and rage based hysteria is good for us. Seems like a lot of wheel spinning and us against them. I/ we collectively, need to learn to focus and harness those emotions into effective actions. When it comes to the 99.99 % otherwise known as We the People, Them are Us - but we are being played so that everyone is angry at the wrong people - the victims, and not the perps. That is what the monster psychopaths want. I don't have answers... just thinking out loud with a keyboard. I guess this is my long-winded and roundabout way of saying that these toddler tyrants don't deserve the honor of our attention if it gives them and their conditioned minions even more power.
I was happy to see that our state was one of the 4 states that, as of yesterday, have filed suit (through our attorney generals) against the plutocrats' attempts to co-opt and rewrite the Constitution they say they're all for protecting - but how sad - What a waste of money that is needed to help people and the planet! Maybe 'they' will bankrupt us all or worse, cause billions to die. But for me, the only currency worth having is the ability to keep loving and keep standing up to anything set to divide and conquer us. People are mobilizing here and brainstorming about actions on the local, state, and national/global level. But I think what Anita Perez Ferguson said about lifting up the real heroes such as Jose Andres and volunteers at organizations like World Central Kitchen is where I want to put my energies and what little money I have.
You’re so right. The one thing 47 is really good at is attracting attention and distracting us away from the real issues. I hope we can learn fast enough to deal with all of this effectively.
Thanks for this encouraging comment: "Remember: for every Elon Musk wrecking stuff, there is a Jose Andrés leading World Central Kitchen that shows up at every disaster to feed people."👨🍳
Thank you for creating the visuals and tracking this. Yes, this is totally about getting people who can't afford it to turn over money to a place that is not part of any government oversight and goes directly into Trump and Musk's bank accounts. If these Bible-thumping Trump voting people actually read that book, they might focus on the line: There are none so blind as those who will not see.
Thank you, Georgia. What's happening is so far outside the boundaries for most of us, it's almost paralyzing. This is not mere differences of opinions, it's a calculated attack on our foundations. It's like we're in a state of tharn and need to shake it off. We need collective resistance before this turns violent.
Just remember, this is a long game plan. This is culmination, not sudden. Showing patterns and connections through all of this is helpful. Those 28 'friends' (strange bedfellows) are probably all ca$hing in, too.
A lot of bitcoin-loving younger folks are falling for the bitcoin pyramid scheme and voted for these shysters and reprobates. I shudder to think how the reality will treat them - and cash. Not to minimize the terrible things going on - we will act and keep the pressure on - but when those who voted for him get betrayed and wake up - and many will - there'll be a groundswell.

Those ridiculous pictures... just BEGGING to be made into some good memes!
Oh, that JibJab! Those days seem so quaint compared to today. Thanks for the laugh.

World Central Kitchen - angels on earth. And yes, this is what we need to keep in mind.

It seems so clear … but it may take awhile.
