I posted one article from the organization known as peoplefor.org/rightwingwatch, but maybe it would be good to have a discussion about some of the things that these extremists are saying. If nothing else, if you're not already familiar with this organization, I hope you will check it out. It...

https://mindsitenews.org/2025/04/21/trump-and-dementia/ The link contains a long and interesting interview with a psychiatrist who has a lot of experience with mentally ill people who have a tendency to be violent. She discusses Trump's symptoms of psychopathy, malignant narcissism and dementia...

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/trumps-first-100-days/5233447-live-updates-trump-protests-budget-tariffs/ I've read that violent protests almost never work but large protests that are non violent and well organized sometimes work. Think of the massive protests that helped pass the...

Anyone with at least an average IQ realized that deporting or substantially limiting new immigrants into the US would eventually have a negative impact on our economy, but the evidence is starting to become apparent. I will "gift" an article that goes into a lot of detail regarding this problem...

I will add more to this later about the rising levels of hatred toward minorities later, but I'll start out by mentioning one of the most brutal murders against a transperson that I've ever heard about. It happened in New York and five suspects have been arrested. Imo, some of it is due to the...

This thread is for anyone who has experienced, has known someone who has experienced or can give examples of how religion often does harm to individuals. I feel as if I've gotten over the harm it did to me during my childhood and. young adulthood, but I'd like to share my experiences and hope...

The jury is still out, but there is more evidence that plastics may be causing dementia and cognitive decline. There is no escape, as micro plastics are even in our drinking water that we get from the tap, the air, food containers, everything, I say after finishing drinking a bottle of water. I...

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/bird-flu-has-spread-out-of-control-after-mistakes-by-u-s-government-and/ ScientificAmerican does not allow me to gift articles, so I will copy a bit more. There was a similar piece in the AJC but that would also be behind a pay wall. I'll see what...

I'm sharing another article about how the MAGAs are considering decreasing M'caid, SNAP etc. to help pay for the tax breaks they want to extend. It boggles the mind how many Christians supported Trump and company. Did they forget what their good book says about how difficult it would be for a...

The O'Jays used the term "message in the music" as a way of stating political or social concepts in some of the hit songs, so considering what's going on in the world and the country, as well as being nostalgic for the music of my youth and young adulthood, I'm going to try and post some lyrics...

https://www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2024/11/04/quincy-jones-producer-dead/ One of my favorite jazz artists and musical producers has died. At least he had a long, productive life and his music will live on. From bebop to hip-hop, Quincy Jones exemplified the producer and arranger as...

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/04/technology/telegram-right-wing-groups-election.html?unlocked_article_code=1.XU4.fASr.wNOdE7uLenMj&smid=url-share There is a lot more in the article which isn't behind a pay wall for those of you who don't subscribe to the NYTimes. MY son used to insist that we...

I'm gifting an article by Dana Millbank about how insane and dysfunctional the Republican Congress has become. It's a very long piece which can be listened to or read and I hope at least a few of you will read it, especially anyone foolish enough to be voting for the MAGAs in the coming...

I considered adding this to the thread about the Democrats rigging he election and if the mods feel it would be better there, by all means add it. I'm going to gift an article from the NYTimes that demonstrates some of their tricks at making the election look like some immigrants are voting...

I thought it was the Dems who were being accused of defunding the police but now I'm confused. /s Read the entire article if you wish, as I'm sharing it. I appears as if the Recon party can't accomplish anything but try to show what assholes they are by sucking up to Trump and the far right...

I know there has been talk and some evidence that there is a little part in our brain stem that allows people to believe in gods. I found an article that explains it and I'll look for some more, but the current idea is perhaps our beliefs in gods are somehow related to altruism. Of courses...

I'm not saying this is legal, but who believes if Trump wins, he won't try to do plenty of illegal things? And, perhaps these protesters need to understand that while It's fine to protest, it's stupid to deny Biden a vote, just because you don't agree with him on Israel. At least Biden isn't...

https://www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2024/03/21/frans-de-waal-apes-empathy-dies/ I was saddened to learn that my favorite non fiction author died. If any of you enjoy reading about Primatology, I suggest you look into some of his books. The man had compassion and a deep interest in...

Let's forget for a bit about Trump's and Biden's ages, and how seems more forgetful. Instead let's consider the symptoms of severe mental illness exhibited by Trump, especially when viewed by those who have both advanced training and experience in the area of mental illnesses. I'm going to try...

I've often wondered how any atheist or supporter of the SCS could possibly vote for Trump. While there are many reasons to keep him out of office, the rise of Christian Nationalism is certainly something that we should all be concerned about...
