A lot of people are asking for my thoughts on the attack on Iran, and there’s a lot to unpack. What do you think about the timing and impact of this attack? Put your comments below.
If free & fair elections, accountability, & human rights mean anything, then the people responsible, & the systems enabling them, must be stopped and held accountable. The world is waking up. And hopefully more Americans who once supported Trump and MAGA are starting to question what they were sold
This is what mind control looks like in real time. When people are more concerned with staying in favor with a leader than telling the truth that’s not independent thinking. That’s undue influence and mind control.

Comparing life to a chocolate chip cookie recipe oversimplifies the complexity of being human! We’re not meant to surrender our integrity & be blindly obedient to leaders, prophets, or institutions. We are meant to ask questions, reality-test our beliefs, & use reasoning abilities we all possess
Forcing survivors to “forgive”? Maria Esguerra and I take on a dangerous myth: leaving a cult does not make an abusive parent or caregiver safe. Survivors should not be pushed to center the people who harmed them. Watch the full video here: youtu.be/E5M_7w_PmZw
Authoritarians thrive on distraction, outrage cycles, fear & MAGA leadership has been using classic cult tactics: flooding the zone with chaos so people stop looking at the truth that actually matters. Have you noticed the political noise drowning out talk of the Epstein files? 🎥: @hilarieburton

Trump’s illegal war on Iran killed civilians and also caused major damage to the wildlife poisoning millions of sea animals. Our planet cannot sustain such a destructive conflict. Time to stop this madness now!
