Trauma – The Politicus

Healing from the trauma of the climate emergency.

“Dadirri listens and knows, witnesses, feels, empathizes in the pain under the anger, and, if the anger is accompanied by action, seeks to understand the thoughts and feelings behind the action. Dadirri then seeks to find the source of that pain in knowledge-building for a deepening understanding of the more...

Carnage: previous guy said “China virus” the same night of the Atlanta spa shootings

Carnage could be a permanent condition, but Trump made it a brand. Between April 10, 2020 and January 3, 2021, Donald Trump either tweeted (or retweeted) the term “China Virus” 44 times. Like Trump’s claim of a “bad” flu for COVID, the coincidence was many times worse amid a population experiencing...

Post-Debate national polling shows mixed trends prior to Nevada caucuses

The reality of tomorrow’s Nevada caucus will be in the details of delegate allocation. The meme of “insurmountable delegate lead” could prevail. Meanwhile Trump does a counter-rally in Vegas. x Post-debate poll (Thursday, Feb. 20):@BernieSanders – 30% (+2)@JoeBiden – 19% (0)@MikeBloomberg – 17% (-3)@ewarren – 12% (+2)@PeteButtigieg – 11% (-1)@amyklobuchar – 5%...

Selling Troops and a veteran's legs repossessed. How great can we get?

There is a lot to this story but it boils down to one thing, disrespect and unpatriotic. The legs were returned…unadjusted and unuseable. I know and many vets know there are hoops to jump through but many get tired of waiting for permission to do things like walk without...

Another kid dies in custody. This will end badly for you, and 'following orders' won't cut it

Under Trump, we went from a few dozen in shelters to 14,300 toddlers, children and teens being packed in detention centers. The centers are so horrifying that public officials aren’t allowed to see their conditions. Migrant children are still being abused, assaulted, and molested; the “lucky” ones are just abandoned...
