I don't know that I agree with this...fascism is classically a cult of personality, no?
Could the Epstein Files kerfuffle take down Trump? Sure, maybe. Which could end up with Russell Vought and Steve Miller transferring allegiance to a MJT or Tucker Carlson or whomever. Don't take your eye off the big picture. It's the fascism, stupid.

those of us laid off from Teen Vogue were really fortunate to complete our fundraising goal — the laid-off staffers at VIBE deserve the same support, as Black media outlets and journalists continue to be targeted and discriminated against in “austerity” measures
It was announced on October 16, 2025 that VIBE was "joining forces" with Rolling Stone. As a result, the majority of VIBE employees were laid off. If you have the means to give, this team could use the support! www.gofundme.com/f/support-vi...

This story stemmed from this question: what will be the human toll of Trump's climate rollbacks?
Turns there is emissions modeling that can help provide an estimate.
Using modeling from @rhg.com we estimated the additional death toll as high as 1.3 million

Trump’s Anti-Green Agenda Could Lead to 1.3 Million More Climate Deaths. The Poorest Countries Will Be Impacted Most.
Most of the people expected to suffer these temperature-related deaths live in poor countries in Africa and South Asia that are least prepared to cope with the increasing heat from climate change.

have these people not heard of smoking?
There’s a very surreal conversation I keep having on here where people seem unable to hold two ideas at the same time, and I’m not sure why. It’s simply true that the Big AI platforms like ChatGPT are:
1. Extremely bad for society, in many ways.
2. Very genuinely popular with lots of people.

been doing some light reading about the aftermath of the korean dictatorship and I think it's really important that we repeat this to ourselves, to our friends, to our neighbors, to our politicians
Nuremburg trials is the moderate position
He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

This sucks, and also speaks to my point from a few weeks ago: our wonderful air traffic controllers and TSA agents, working together, could get rid of Trump within five business days.
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.
