I hear “Trump Faces Crisis” and I think, 'Yeah, he does wear many self-congratulatory masks that in total represent the Ugly American Self without addressing the whole nation but instead center on the triumph of Trump himself and for all those individuals who would appropriate his claim to superiority for themselves.' #gradschoolwastezone #overeducationsucks #dontgobacktoschool #stillcantspotarunon #JungWasProbablyWrong #silence,brain #WHOcare

Narcissist-in-Chief
Like Trump, charismatic leaders often manifest signs and symptoms of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. ... We fear that Trump’s egocentricity would be an insuperable obstacle to his effort to organize and lead a well-functioning, transparent government. As the Narcissist-in-Chief, it is far more likely that he would govern capriciously and “make the country more greatly divided,” to coin a phrase.

As Arctic Burns, New Data Shows June 2020 Capped Off Year Tied for Hottest on Record | Common Dreams News
As Arctic Burns, New Data Shows June 2020 Capped Off Year Tied for Hottest on Record | Common Dreams News: During the July 2019–June 2020 period, global temperatures were "well above the 1981–2010 average over a large part of Siberia and the Arctic Ocean to the north, to the north of Alaska, and over parts of West Antarctica" as well as "above average over virtually all of Europe," according to C3S.

Rachel Louise Snyder on violence
We live in a world in which we have leaders who get away, literally, with bragging about this belief system, where sexual assaults on college campuses are at a crisis point, and where casual violence is an accepted and celebrated form of entertainment, where former attorney general Jeff Sessions deemed intimate partner terrorism not enough of a threat to qualify an immigrant for asylum, and where men with histories of abuse like Rob Porter are given illustrious jobs with the commander in chief of our country, despite those violent histories. Indeed, the commander in chief himself has a history of known violence, at least to his first wife, Ivana, as described in her divorce deposition. David Frum, a former speechwriter for President George W. Bush, in a 2018 op-ed for the Atlantic, wrote that “Violence at home indicates a dangerous temperament for a high official, including vulnerability to blackmail … This president sent a message to the people around him about what is permitted, or at any rate, what is forgivable.” Rachel Louise Snyder, No Visible Bruises, Bloomsbury, 2019, p. 114.

As Bayard Rustin put it in his address to the 1970 Convention of the Bricklayers, Masons, and Plasterers International Union....
“The fact is that if you are going to deal simultaneously with black rage and white fear, the only group in the nation which has the answer is the organized trade union movement because it says: ‘There must be full employment for all who want to work.’ If there was full employment, blacks would not be in a rage because they do not have jobs, and whites would not be fearful that they will lose theirs.” Bayard Rustin, Black Rage, White Fear, Berkeley: University of California Press, 1970.
