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

This is what happens when obedience and fear replace accountability. In Minneapolis, federal immigration agents have now fatally shot two U.S. citizens in January, first Renee Good, then Alex Pretti, who was unarmed and filming agents before he was tackled and shot dead.
Marjorie Taylor Greene admitting she was naive is a powerful reminder that even the most fanatical followers can come to terms with being lied to. For 2026, I encourage you to reach out to family & friends involved in MAGA. I believe millions can leave the Cult of Trump if they feel safe to do so

Tucker Carlson says Trump betrayed his followers, but let’s look at what’s really going on. He says this war goes against “America First,” but his agenda is documented pro-Putin, pro-Russia, & not putting America first. He says he loves America. Don’t believe it for a minute.

Kaitlan Collins showed exactly how you stand up to a bully, and Trump couldn’t handle it. When she pressed him about the Epstein survivors who still haven’t received justice, he didn’t answer. He attacked her smile, attacked her professionalism, and attacked CNN. Classic cult like behavior. 📹 CNN

After the Bondi Beach attack, I’ve been thinking again about how many extremist groups have used The Matrix to recruit & radicalize people online The film’s “red pill” metaphor is powerful, but it’s been deliberately twisted to pull people away from reality, grounding, relationships, & their values
Leigh McGowan is absolutely right to call out Scott Jennings for minimizing the importance of the trafficking cover-up of the Epstein files. We have to resist normalization. We have to resist minimization. And we have to stay focused on the victims who have been ignored for far too long
Trump and his inner circle are terrified of the Epstein files and this clip makes it obvious why. Epstein had the goods on him, and they know it. Video credit: Brut

Ninja Garden 2 is unfair in a way that modern games are too chicken to be. Do you know why you don't see devs nowadays releasing games where they hide unavoidable infinitely respawning mines under the snow? Because they're fucking COWARDS!!! That's why.

In this video you can see a visual map of some of the neurons within a fruit fly’s ventral nerve cord (VNC), like that of a human’s spinal cord. Neurons progressively stack on top of each other and at the end of the video, you can see a rough neuronal map of the VNC.

A new “gateway effect” study claims vaping leads to smoking - but its own review admits the evidence is biased and low quality. That contradiction isn’t just sloppy - it raises serious questions about how conclusions are being framed. Science deserves better than mixed messages.
