🧵The Development of Karl Marx in Three Phases: Before and After Meeting Moses Hess.
The Thesis is Marx’s intellectual evolution can be traced as a shift in the meaning of “practice.” He moves from the Young Hegelian notion of critique as practice (the idea that theoretical criticism itself is a world-changing force) to Moses Hess’s notion of praxis as deed, a fusion of thought and organized action aimed at repairing social estrangement, and finally to Marx’s own materialist recoding of that praxis. Crucially, Marx preserves much of Hess’s functional architecture of alienation and reintegration even as he rejects Hess’s mystical or ethical idiom (what Marx and Engels later dismiss as “True Socialism”).
Marx Before Hess (Berlin Young Hegelian Phase, up to ~1842)
Before Hess’s influence, Marx was shaped by the Young Hegelian milieu in Berlin, especially the circle around Bruno Bauer. In the early 1840s Marx was a radical democratic intellectual and critic, not yet a socialist. As Hess later described him in 1841, the young “Dr. Marx” was “hardly 24 years old; but he will give the final blow to all medieval religion and politics”. This captures Marx’s baseline orientation: fiercely anti-clerical and anti-absolutist, wielding Hegelian philosophy as a weapon against archaic institutions.
At this stage, “action” for Marx meant public criticism, meaning attacking censorship, religion, and unjust laws under the premise that exposing an illusion or injustice was in itself a practical act. In other words, Marx initially treated critique as the lever of history, reflecting the Young Hegelian belief that negating ideas (e.g. criticising religion) would by itself negate the material relations sustained by those ideas.
This outlook was “post-Hegelian” in the sense that it drew on Hegel’s notion of world-history driven by the negation of the old by the new. But it was also limited: it targeted the realm of ideas (religious mystifications, reactionary philosophy) rather than the realm of social relations or political economy.
As we will cover, Hess’s impact on Marx would be to change the mode and target of action, from purely critical negation aimed at consciousness to organized revolutionary deeds aimed at material conditions.

Anxiety isn’t just in your head.
It’s stored in your nervous system.
Here are 9 body-based ways to release it (without medication) 🧵

Here are 9 body-based ways to release it (without medication) 🧵
1. Cold water on your face.
1. Cold water on your face activates the vagus nerve.
It triggers the mammalian diving reflex → increases parasympathetic (vagal) activity and slows your heart rate, which helps interrupt panic attacks.
Cold water also signals GABAergic release, giving you a quick, refreshing, invigorating feeling. It's a sure-fire way to interrupt negative thought loops.

2. Slow exhales stop the fight-or-flight response-- in seconds.
Long exhales increase respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) and vagal calming. Your entire body relaxes, and visual clarity is restored.
This often increases HRV and shifts autonomic balance away from the fight-or-flight response.

American economists will say that it is consumption that matters, not production, which is why trade deficits are a good thing. What they don't recognize is that you get richer by producing more goods and services per person, i.e. by raising the productivity of workers.

Rising consumption of goods and services is indeed the end goal, but it is only sustainable if it is paid for by the production of more goods and services and if wages rise in line with productivity.

I have been undercover inside the groups for days.
You’ll notice emojis next to people’s names. Here’s a key for what those emojis mean.
The highlighted positions are the most crucial. Most are self explanatory. Mobile patrols spend their entire “shift” searching for suspicious vehicles.
When they find one they send it to the group so that “plate checkers” can compare with their database and see if it’s a known federal vehicle or if the patrol can make the confirmation so that the database can be updated.
Dispatch runs a maxed out call all day telling protestors where ICE has been spotted and how they can be best impeded.

In case you are curious how John Daghita (Lick) was able to steal $40M+ from US government seizure addresses.
John’s dad owns CMDSS, which currently has an active IT government contract in Virginia.
CMMDS was awarded a contract to assist the USMS in managing/disposing of seized/forfeited crypto assets.
It still remains unclear at this point how John obtained access from his dad.

🚨💵 BREAKING: SIGNALGATE DONORS LIST AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD; POLITICIANS + FOREIGN LEADERSHIP CONFIRMED?
In one of the files revealed by @camhigby , a resources file directs people with money to a website, Stand with Minnesota, which in turns directs donors to a campaign ran by Tending the Soil on Chuffed.
More about Tending the Soil later. What to know: the campaign is hosted by Chuffed and the first donation came from Jonny Soppotiuk, a Canada-based community organizer who is part of Chuffed leadership and specializes in fundraising. He is most likely a central figure in raising money.
So, yeah. Starting to look like foreigners are playing a key role in all of this.
That's not all. I've put together a spreadsheet of 4000+ donors and their possible identities.

I never thought I’d feel afraid while receiving medical care.
But during infusions, repeatedly, in the same setting, politics enter the room.
Here’s what that actually looks like.
When you sit in an infusion chair, you are completely dependent.
A registered nurse retrieves medication that will go directly into your bloodstream.
They access a vein with a peripheral IV, secure it, connect the tubing, and control the rate at which the drug enters your body.
You don’t touch the controls.
You don’t set the speed.
You don’t get to leave.
I’ve had infusion rates turned up too fast, suddenly.
My heart started racing.
I got head rushes and palpitations.
I had to ask for it to be slowed down because my body was reacting.
And there are times when vein access itself becomes an issue.
I understand that nurses are human and mistakes happen.
But after years of treatment with the same staff, when you leave with your arms gauzed and bandaged in multiple places, repeatedly, because veins suddenly can’t be found, it stops feeling random.
In the recent past, when names were being called in a crowded waiting room, instead of my name, I was called back as “MAGA.” Out loud. In front of other patients.
The room went quiet for a split second, then parts of it laughed.
Some people snickered.
Others stared.
A man, another patient, looked directly at me and said I was on the wrong side of history.
I remember sitting there, outnumbered, already vulnerable, already needing care, feeling defeated in a way that’s hard to explain.
You’re sick.
You’re waiting to be treated.
And suddenly you’re labeled, publicly, in a space where you are supposed to be safe.
What makes that fear sharper is this, when this center is closed on holidays, I receive the same treatment at a different, public infusion center.
Different nurses.
Different setting.
No issues.
My veins are accessed without difficulty.
Same body.
Same veins.
Different environment.
That option isn’t available to me consistently, it’s only possible when the primary center is closed.
Then you start to understand the power imbalance.
You’re still sitting there, dependent on the same understaffed center you have to return to.
You rely on that care for your health, for stability, for your life continuing to function.
So you don’t complain.
You don’t push back.
You stay quiet.
People think patients can always advocate for themselves.
They think professionalism always protects you.
They think this can’t happen in healthcare.
It already is.

I want to be very clear about something.
This isn’t about one nurse.
It isn’t about one comment.
It isn’t even about one political label.
It’s about what happens when a patient becomes dependent on care, and the room stops feeling neutral.
If you’ve ever felt that shift, quietly, while needing treatment, you’re not alone.

🧵The Founders learned from the Articles that a republic can fail the Declaration’s standard without a tyrant by building a center that’s too weak. If limits and rights are to stay binding under stress, institutions must be strong enough to govern and constrained enough to obey.
Again, the Declaration gives moral clarity about rightful rule, but it does not supply governing capacity. It states legitimacy in first principles: consent, natural rights, just governance, and the right to alter a predatory regime. It is a standard, not a machine. It judges power with moral force. But it does not tell you how those limits stay binding on Tuesday afternoon when passions run high, money runs short, factions scheme, and rivals probe for weakness.
The Articles were the first attempt to translate that creed into an operating system, and they were deliberately weak. Fresh off a war against centralized abuse, the safest design seemed to be a loose league among sovereign states. Congress could request troops and money and could deliberate and exhort, but it could not compel. Each state stood as an equal unit in the national council, major acts required supermajorities, and amendments faced near-impossible thresholds. The center could ask. It could not command.
Then reality arrived. War debts mounted. Credit tightened. Inflation and monetary turmoil made politics more combustible. Trade friction rose as states pursued their own advantage. Trust thinned. Abroad, other powers watched and probed. The crucial point is not that human beings suddenly became worse. The point is that the design made national performance optional when optional performance becomes fatal.

HAPPENING NOW: Minnesota v. Noem hearing is underway before Judge Menendez, who will weigh whether to order an end to Operation Metro Surge. AG Keith Ellison is at counsel table for the state.
Lawyer for the state, Lindsey Middlecamp, begins by demanding immediate end to "unlawful and unchecked invasion" by federal agents. She cites the Alex Pretti killing and says things are escalating, not improving.
Middlecamp says AG Bondi's letter to the state amounted to a "ransom note" and that messages from her and President Trump amounted to an unconstitutional attempt to coerce the state to change its policies.

In 2016, Philando Castile, a 32-year-old school cafeteria worker and permitted gun owner, was fatally shot by a Minnesota police officer as he reached for his driver license during a traffic stop. In 2017, the officer was acquitted on all charges. 🧵
The Minneapolis officer who fatally shot Castile had attended a “Bulletproof Warrior” seminar, which asks the question: “Are you ready to kill?” thetrace.org/2020/06/warrio…
Following the shooting, the NRA stated it would wait for more facts, which was heavily criticized given the organization's swift defense of other gun owners. The NRA later released a statement calling the incident "troublesome" but did not offer a full defense of Castile.
