I saw the Snopes article on Threads, and the fact-checks on the FAA policy hiring practices, the same since 2013. DJT’s blaming the tragedy last night on the recent DEI update in ‘24. But Snopes pointed out the policy has not been updated but exactly the same. If DJT didn’t agree with the DEI then, why didn’t he correct it then. As with every president, tragedies are blamed on the president at watch. So DJT blames the tragedy on Joe with falsehoods about the DEI, which he’s against. Joe quietly passed lots of legislation, fixing infrastructure, climate control, discounting senior medications from full list since GWB, collecting taxes, funding IRS, bringing our Chips technology back to the States for creating new jobs, the bipartisan immigration bill that all Republicans and Dems agreed on, but DJT asked the Republicans not to pass so he can complain about the Democrats during the ‘24 election.
Many of us are now being given the experience of the isolated victim of trauma and abuse, the victim of bullies, any vulnerable person in need - WHY DOESNT ANYONE LIFT A FINGER? “If only someone powerful would care?” Or as Jesus put it (and I’m a Buddhist) “God why have you forsaken me?” Instead we’ve invested corrupt men with god-like sway over our lives, and Mr Trump is trying to rearrange society to suit his small mind. No Black History Month in the Government, no non-white history, no DEI, no CIA diversity affinity groups. Etc etc. Take the betrayal you feel and multiply it by a million for all the people we’ve neglected in our ascents or in our discomfort with solidarity with the oppressed. Mr. Trump is addicted to power and himself, and as a psychiatrist I know that addictions are an attempt to deal with powerlessness. We are all feeling a sense of powerlessness against abuse. Bring compassion and allyship to these feelings and you’ll know what it’s like to develop the Great Soul we’ll need to face the next months and years.
Comment on HEATHER COX ROCHARDSON’s substack for Jan 31
I am deeply moved by the spiritual-cultural struggles of the past. I look forward to seeing my Christian brethren rise up to contain and defeat the malignant brand of “Christofascism” that has swept many off their feet in an equally evangelical fervor to vote for well pretty much the devil himself. While I have to admire the power of idealization - of Christ - that undoubtedly gave the Union North and the Black Civil Rights struggle uplift and strength, I have to question a culture that needs fervor in order to do the right thing. It seems we just as much need to undercut Mr Trump as an overvalued idea of the collective psyche, and deeply question the cultural and psychic processes that allow him to be a champion of his dissatisfaction and half the populations. He is a wildly confused and ignorant man who projects absolute knowledge. And there are about 78 million suckers in our fair nation.

Thank you. I am so worried for our country. We are on a train to the dark.
