Living on the West Coast I often miss your live Coffee with the Contrarian meeting. I can access these later if your guest of the day reposts them on his/her respective Substack, but many times I just have to resort to reproaching myself “I should have set my alarm clock!!” 6 am PT is early on my old bones.
Would you mind recording your meeting and share them with us later that morning?
The war for our country is on. The next major development is likely to be an ICE arrest of someone we never imagined could be taken - a governor, a senator, or your neighbor. Trump's gestapo is out of control.
Our system of checks and balances relies on two things:
* An educated and committed citizenry.
* The assumption that each branch will check the other, both in their own self interest and for the good of the nation.
Right now all three branches have been essentially taken over by one party, whose mission is to eliminate our system of checks and balances.
Professor Richardson likens our present condition with that just prior to the Civil War, when Southern oligarchs had a stranglehold on all three branches.
Whether we can restore our Republics institutions without another conflict, remains to be seen.
The two different pieces from today by Cynthia Miller-Idriss ICE: The epitome of toxic masculinity interview with Jen Rubin and Lily Conway’s AI piece on how the Grok function on X uses photos of women to make them look naked or physically altered without their consent essentially shares a common theme. That theme is toxic masculinity.
Miller-Idriss gets to the how and why these males are compelled to behave as they do. Conway explains the effects of their misogynistic behavior. To keep women and girls out of their space on the internet particularly with regard to gamers. If I recall correctly, Paris Hilton had the same thing happen to her without her consent. She has gone before congress to promote a bill so offenders can be sued.
Abolish ICE. We don't need an SS in this country.
ICE was started in 2003.
Their duties can be RETURNED to the other Intelligence Departments/Agencies.
No need for ICE.
I think I needed a family singing. https://youtu.be/BRHxXHZmVAM?si=bUQISgi1FYe2ru-x
Jen and Norm, a kind request:
