The metaphorical "hall of mirrors": an ecosystem where only the echo of narcissistic opinions survives. 🌐💭 This describes how narcissistic minds often exist in a feedback loop, seeking validation only from reflections of their own views. Recognizing this can help break free from such echo chambers — a crucial step towards healthier relationships and self-awareness. #Narcissism #SelfAwareness #MentalHealth

🌟 The trigger for an attention competition: the partner's professional victory.

In relationships affected by narcissistic dynamics, one partner’s success can unintentionally spark feelings of rivalry and insecurity. This often leads to a competition for attention and validation — rather than mutual support.

It's important to recognize these patterns so we can foster empathy, communication, and healthy encouragement. Celebrating each other's wins strengthens connection instead of dividing it. 💬❤️ #NarcissisticAwareness #HealthyRelationships #EmotionalSupport

Personal ethics act as a powerful antidote in relationships, especially when dealing with narcissistic abuse. 🌱 Firm values aren't just abstract ideals—they set clear boundaries that keep your well-being intact. When you know what you stand for, it’s easier to recognize manipulation and stand your ground. Protecting your inner world starts with honoring your personal code. 💪 #SelfCare #Boundaries #NarcissisticAbuseAwareness

This August will mark five years since a revolt in Belarus nearly toppled Alexander Lukashenko, the autocrat who has ruled the country since 1994 with the support of Vladimir Putin.

Anarchists in Belarus, in Belarusian prisons, and in the Belarusian diaspora continue to resist. They play a crucial part in the global fight against autocracy—and they deserve our support.

Call for solidarity actions on August 9-11, the anniversary of the 2020 Belarusian uprising:

'Capitalism is a system, which besides being predatory and irresponsible, shows little disposition to put an end to inequalities and stop its destructive action on the natural environment, not only because it is a hyper energy insatiable model, but also because, its objective being the accumulation of capital, it is impossible for it to reach – without abandoning its mechanisms and values – a minimum degree of containment in order to avoid the disasters that its functioning provokes.'

Chris Smalls, American labor union leader, reportedly tortured by Israeli security forces


Chris Smalls, an American trade unionist and leader of the Amazon Labor Union, has been subjected to torture by Israeli security forces, reports say. Smalls was aboard of Gaza-bound Handala aid ship which was seized by Israeli forces near the Gaza coast on Saturday night, with 21 unarmed civilians on board, including lawmakers, medics, and volunteers.

“When he reached the Israeli prison, U.S. human rights defender Chris Smalls was physically assaulted by seven uniformed individuals,” the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) said on X.

“They choked him and kicked him in the legs, leaving visible signs of violence on his neck and back,” the statement said. The FFC highlighted that “when his lawyer met with him, Chris was surrounded by six members of Israel’s special police unit. This level of force was not used against other abducted activists.”

Smalls, 37, became particularly known in 2022 following the successful foundation of a labor union at a Staten Island Amazon factor, which counts more than 8,000 members. The Amazon Labor Union (ALU) became the first unionized Amazon workers recognized by the National Labor Relations Board.

Our realm of acceptable opinions and ideas is so, so narrow in the United States.

I was just thinking about how the abolitionist, advocate for women's rights, and publisher of The Liberator, William Lloyd Garrison thought that the US Constitution was irreparably flawed, as it was an enabler of slavery itself, and thus needed to be done away with.

Views like that are simply not permitted in the American consciousness anymore.

Webb traces details of complex planetary nebula


image

NGC 6072 (NIRCam image)

More than one star contributes to the irregular shape of NGC 6072 – Webb’s newest look at this planetary nebula in the near- and mid-infrared shows what may appear as a very messy scene resembling splattered paint. However, the unusual, asymmetrical scene hints at more complicated mechanisms underway, as the star central to the scene approaches the very final stages of its life and expels shells of material, losing up to 80 percent of its mass.

@relentless_eduardo stalinists were actually big fans of nuclear energy, with a big chunk of resources spent on research and deployment of nuclear power plants.

sadly, they chose one of the worst designs they could – self-made RBMK. the safety issues were obvious, but kept secret.

the anti-nuclear (energy) movement seems to have originated in the Federal Republic of Germany, quickly spreading to France, and then going worldwide, fuelled by scare surrounding incidents with nuclear power plants.

RAYMOND KEVORKİAN Ermeni Soykırımı

Raymond Kevorkian’ın Ermeni Soykırımı adlı eseri, bu alanda yazılmış en kapsamlı ve en sarsıcı çalışmalardan
biridir.
Sadece bir tarih kitabı değil; aynı zamanda yüz binlerce insanın sistemli biçimde nasıl yok edildiğini belgeleyen bir insanlık suçunun tanıklığıdır.

Baştan sona arşiv belgelerine, tanıklıklara ve resmi kayıtlara dayanarak kaleme alınan bu eser,
20. yüzyılın başında Anadolu topraklarında yaşanmış en karanlık dönemlerden birini gözler önüne seriyor.
Kevorkian, sadece bir tarih anlatmıyor; aynı zamanda bir vicdan çağrısında bulunuyor.

Bu kitap, milliyetçi ve ırkçı fanatizmin nasıl barbarlığa dönüştüğünün bir “başyapıtı”dır.
Bu başyapıt, bir halkın unutulmuş çığlığı, bastırılmış hafızanın yeniden dirilişi, utancımızın ve utancınızın kapkara aynasıdır.

Okunmalı.
Çünkü unutulmasın diye yazıldı. Çünkü inkarın karanlığını dağıtmanın ilk şartı, hakikatin sözcüklerine kulak vermektir.

One of the biggest challenges is regulatory compliance, particularly when using decentralized exchanges. “Even Ripple can’t use the XRPL DEX for payments yet because we can’t be sure a terrorist won’t provide the liquidity for payment,” Schwartz revealed. The inability to verify the identity and legitimacy of liquidity providers makes it difficult for regulated entities to operate on fully open networks.

I occasionally see Confederate flags when driving around (which is kinda wild bc I'm in New York), and I of course assume that the house or vehicle with it contains an ignorant and hateful person.

Now, when I see a flag of Israel, it evokes far more disgust and disdain than the Confederate flag. I'd rather have to deal with a person flying the Confederate flag than an Israeli one.

Last I'd heard he was just some disgruntled guy who shot up "the wrong floor". Seems like you'd know which floor to shoot on, at the least. Idk

It's hard to believe that they didn't even have key cards for security or something. Bare minimum. Especially after the whole assassination of the health insurance guy right there in town.

Makes me suspicious. Like is this some Jack Reacher shit, where you kill a handful of people to cover the actual target?

I have noticed a disappointing trend with my anarchist milieu situated in the Pacific Northwest of Turtle Island. It is a concerning disregard and total

Phew! This ain't 2016, any longer.

Little by little, the tentacles of the Shadow Government Deep State Coup Cabal are being unentangled, and we're seeing which string leads to which person, and going to the source...

If you think that won't have a significant impact on the future of the Deep State Coup Cabal...Think Again.

President Trump already removed Credentials and Clearances and Titles during his first term. Gatekeepers were removed from their Powerful Positions of Authority, or "died"...even back then...

But, what he's doing now, in only 6 months...Removing Security Details...Firing Thousands upon Thousands of "Government"-"workers"...even in the "Intelligence" Agencies and the "DOJ"...Arresting "Judges" for Breaking the Law...Making Smaller Government and Less Regulations...

Appointing people to his Administration who are NOT Political "Elites". Instead, Making our own "Justice League", to go up against the Evil powers that be in the "Legion of Doom".

He's slowly and surely Uninfiltrating the Infiltrated. That's gonna work, but only if there are actual consequences and sentencings...and oddly enough, President Trump is known to be the "Law and Order" President...Soooo...

We're living in unprecedented times, which means, we will have unprecedented results.

We've never been here before. The Deep State moved the Goal posts so far in failed attempt, after failed attempt, to go after President Trump "By Any means Necessary"...They did it to themselves. I call them "The Wile E. Cayote" Party. They're the ones who made this all possible...I believe they're the actual "Useful Idiots". 😉

"According to Loomer:

In 2021, Prasad described himself as a “political liberal, closest to Elizabeth Warren” and a “Sanders/Warren liberal,” proudly embracing a progressive identity. He voted for Bernie Sanders in the 2016 Democratic primary, and FEC records reveal he donated to Sanders’ campaign, signaling his support for radical left-wing policies.

In 2020, Prasad declared on X that he wanted “Biden to win more than anything” and confirmed he voted against Trump, solidifying his opposition to the President.

Prasad’s policy positions are a direct affront to the conservative principles underpinning Trump’s agenda. He advocates for universal basic income, student loan forgiveness, open borders, and Roe v. Wade abortion standards. He supports a 50% marginal tax rate for high earners, a wealth tax, single-payer healthcare, universally funded pre-K and community college, and expansive parental leave policies.

[..]

Prasad’s disdain for Trump is personal and vitriolic. He has called the President “perhaps the worst president in the history of the Republic.” Prasad has claimed that Trump disagreed with him “on probably 90% of issues.” He compared Trump’s family separation immigration policy to a “human rights violation” worthy of the International Criminal Court. Prasad mocked his election fraud claims as “laughable and pathetic,” and called January 6 “a terrible day.” Further, he even attacked Trump University as a “scam.” Prasad consistently refers to the President as “orange man.” This is a derogatory jab used by the radical Left to attack Trump over his tan skin. Prasad has a strong admiration for Dr. Anthony Fauci, whom he dubbed “St. Anthony of Fauci” with “profound reverence.” Thisfurther highlights his alignment with figures Trump has criticized, particularly over the COVID-19 response.

Since assuming control of CBER at the FDA, Prasad has amassed unprecedented power. He holds three key FDA roles: Chief Medical Officer, Chief Scientific Officer, and Director of CBER. Reports suggest he is under consideration to lead the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER). This could make him more influential than FDA Commissioner Marty Makary. Moreover, this consolidation of authority in the hands of a Trump antagonist and avowed Leftist is a recipe for disaster. Prasad’s actions further demonstrate a clear intent to undermine President Trump’s vision.

On Tuesday, the pressure became too much, and Prasad quietly stepped down from his roles as Chief Medical Officer, Chief Scientific Officer, and Director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER)."

It is a relatively small Twitter substitute. They dish out a share of the ad revenue every day to every account that signs up for the program even free accounts.

There are also other revenue generating programs like this referral one that I am trying out here.

I'm having a lot of fun with the site. I think it's going to be lucrative.

Guards regularly beat and abused inmates, including these individuals trafficked to El Salvador by the US government.

The US government, of course, was aware of this and wanted it to happen.

Trump is not an aberration; from Guantanamo to the CIA's extraordinary rendition program, extrajudicial violence against enemies of the American king has been going on for decades. And don't forget that Obama ordered a targeted assassination of a US citizen.
