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

Is Mormonism an authoritarian cult? I came to understand Mormonism as an authoritarian cult in the late 1990s. It’s a journey, but understanding these patterns of influence, especially for those born and raised in high-control groups, is critical. Learn more: freedomofmind.com/cult-mind-co...

If you want a chance at keeping your relationship strong, lead with compassion, patience, & genuine curiosity. Love is stronger than mind control. What’s been the hardest part for you as a parent trying to stay connected to a MAGA-involved child? I’d really like to hear @jimpicariello.bsky.social

The Unchosen does a powerful job demonstrating the classic cult warning signs I’ve studied for years! Much of it aligns very closely with my BITE Model of Authoritarian Control. Click here cultexpert.myflodesk.com/bitemodeland... to learn more about what undue influence looks like! 📹 @netflix

What do you think about what Marjorie Taylor Greene said? So yes to the Epstein survivors. And thank you to Marjorie Taylor Greene for speaking out. But I also want to be very clear, I don’t trust her yet! Video credit: @couriernewsroom

Trump plastering his face on the DOJ isn’t “making America safe again”, it’s a warning sign. While he pushes this propaganda, he's also moving battleships and aircraft carriers toward Iran, allowing ICE to victimize people, & inhumane warehouses are being bought up to detain people

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

Nurses deserve more than applause. Safe staffing, workplace protections and proper support matter. A health service cannot keep running on burnout and political failure.

53 years ago, a Supreme Court decision protected reproductive freedom and ensured everyone access to safe healthcare. Although Roe v. Wade has been overturned, our belief remains the same. Everyone should have the right and the autonomy to make decisions about their body. The fight will continue.

With all those empty bleachers, I thought it was the Vanilla Ice Not-Dead-Just-Melted return tour. No. It’s the launch of Turning Point’s campus tour, starring Lay-Z-Boy Vance and everyone’s favourite widow, Erika Kirk. With that “crowd,” looks like they may have reached their turning point.

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.
