As I watched the varying timelines collapse into this moment I wondered what they all had in common. Adaptation. Our personal and collective skill at adapting is legendary and it is both the best of us and the worst of us.
The is adaptation habit creating a loop. Each effort to shock folks out of the enslavement slumber is resulting in very highly skilled, very creative people, adapting faster to the problems presented. We've been doing this for eons, in a near infinite versions of this system and we're good at it. Very good at it. Using our creativity to adapt is our best skill, but it is proving to be our Achilles heal, as it is now our first nature.

Thank you. That was deeply insightful.
I’ve spent most of my life adapting to survive, and thinking I was clever for being able to do it.
While fond of the saying, “Improvise, adapt and overcome,” the “overcome” part seemed to always get lost in the shuffle.
It became more like, “go along to get along.”
These days, I try to keep the word “proactive” in mind.
proactive

I agree, unlike other states that are poorly run & managed, Texas is in great shape...and the Southern Border Wall, which is going up FAST, puts it in even better position!
Undercover Huber is a great spoof, funny, but at the same time sad, because the real @JohnWHuber did absolutely NOTHING. He was a garbage disposal unit for important documents & then, tap, tap, tap, just drag it along & run out of time. A.G. Jeff Sessions was played like a drum!
Really sick to watch the Fake and totally Slanted News(?) coming out of MSDNC and CNN. It bears NO relationship to the Truth or Facts. They are merely offshoots of the DNC, much like the @nytimes and the Amazon @washingtonpost. Just like 2016, but worse. Sad, but we will win big!
In 3 1/2 years, I’ve done much more for our Black population than Joe Biden has done in 43 years. Actually, he set them back big time with his Crime Bill, which he doesn’t even remember. I’ve done more for Black Americans, in fact, than any President in U.S. history, with...

These crumbs are not meant to scare anyone but merely inform. Resistance will be dealt with swiftly. The core focus is removing entrenched and fortified bad actors within our federal govt (past and present) as well as others. Simply be diligent - phone numbers will be provided if you witness an uprising or other domestic violence (in addition to 911). Any military seen is for your protection as well as to demonstrate our resolve. Watch for confirmations tomorrow.

I want all deaths caused by so-called George Floyd supporters to be posted on a special website, no matter how graphic. Videos, images, everything.
I'm still boiling over the retired police captain (a BLACK man), was left on the sidewalk bleeding out, after being shot IN THE BACK, while looters tried to steal his personal effects.

A 43-year-old German prisoner who travelled around Portugal in a camper van is now the focus of Scotland Yard's investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.
Police believe he was in the area where the three-year-old was last seen in May 2007.
They are appealing for information about the van and the suspect's other vehicle, a Jaguar.
The man transferred it to someone else's name the day after she vanished.
DCI Cranwell said the prisoner, then aged 30, frequented the Algarve between 1995 and 2007, staying for "days upon end" in his camper van and living a "transient lifestyle".
He was in the Praia de Luz area where the McCann family was staying when she disappeared and received a phone call at 7.32pm, which ended at 8.02pm.
Police have released details of the suspect's phone number and the number he dialled saying any information about them could be "critical" to the inquiry.
