- Reposted by NW Okie (Linda)Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump. Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

- US Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) has called for the invocation of the 25th Amendment to remove President Trump from office, citing Trump's reported comments about Greenland & NATO ally Norway.
- Trump allegedly claimed he no longer felt an "obligation to think purely of peace" regarding Greenland after being passed over for the Nobel Peace Prize. Lawmakers argue Trump's rhetoric shows he's "unfit for office" and risks American safety. The White House calls the calls "political theater".
- Enough is enough! The members of the House, Senate need to get up off their upholstered asses & take a stand against the thuggery that has been created by this administration.

- Answer me this if you can - How do we shutdown the dark caves of ignorance and push all those non-thinking cave dwellers towards the light of education, critical thinking. They need to find their own path, critical thinking, knowledge, desire to change & think for themselves.

- On page 2 of the 7th book of Plato's story, 'Allegory of the Cave,' he mentions prisoners captive in a cave positioned in such a way that they can only look forward at the wall and shadows, not behind them.
- I am assuming that to some extent, if they look back and have the courage to challenge what they are seeing in front of them, they are cast out and ridiculed. It seems similar to how some faux media news channels brainwash their base today.
- One cave dweller stands up, looks back to challenge the shadows, and is cast out.

View full threadHe is only ridiculed and cast out of the cave once more. In the end the character Socrates in Plato's story is symbolically killed. If you read Plato's symbolic story of the cave dwellers, what do you get out of it?
