The neo-reactionary blogger Curtis Yarvin wants to destroy American democracy. With the Trumpian right embracing strongman rule, his ideas have found mainstream purchase.
Curtis Yarvin’s Plot Against America
The reactionary blogger’s call for a monarch to rule the country once seemed like a joke. Now the right is ready to bend the knee.

Last year, the CFPB classified "buy-now-pay-later" apps in the same category as credit cards to better protect consumers.

Is it any wonder that Big Tech billionaires pushed so hard to gut the CFPB?

More Silicon Valley "innovation."
DoorDash and Klarna have signed a deal where customers can choose to pay for food deliveries in interest-free installments or deferred options aligned with payday schedules.

Wow.

Rep. Chuck Edwards is getting torn apart at a town hall in Asheville, NC.

“I’m a veteran & you don’t give a fuck about me. You don’t get to do this to us!”

Edwards orders veteran to be thrown out.

We’re approaching a tipping point now. Anger across the country is going to boil over soon.

At a town hall Republicans didn’t want to hold, a furious Veteran called out Rep. Chuck Edwards, R-NC:

"I’m a Veteran, and you don’t give a f**k about me."
"You need to stand up for us. You need to do what we need you to f**king do."

THEN GOT ESCORTED OUT!

My friend Olena and her three children had to flee their beloved Kyiv after the Russian full-scale invasion. They thought they had found safety in the US. Now, the new US administration is halting all support to Ukraine and is planning to deport 240,000 Ukrainian refugees there. Read Olena's post

While testifying before the House Oversight Committee, Mayor Michelle Wu called Boston the “safest major city in the country” and blasted Tom Homan, Trump’s border czar, who said he would bring “hell” to Boston.

Pg 3. I think we can count on a cruel and criminal mindset to take something as vital, important, and mundane as k-12 public school and turn it into a profit center. Public schools MUST continue to exist and allowed to flourish so they can serve ALL students.

Pg 2 The teacher pensions are always under fire, as if devoting yourself to a worthy career doesn't qualify you for a decent monthly stipend after 30 years. So, tell me how private, for-profit schools are considered viable?

Shamefully, privatizing government functions are all in vogue now. Let's look at the privatizing of education. There are many public schools that have deferred maintenance; are under paying their teachers are understaffed.

NEW: In 2021, evangelical pastor Steve Berger set off on an ambitious project: minister to members of Congress so that what “they learn is then translated into policy.”

Now, he is Mike Johnson’s D.C. roommate — living in a home owned by a major GOP donor.

CBS did a good job reporting on the trump debacle-IMHO. For a 30 minute news program they presented the situation as the world sees it, including the opinion of Ukrainian news who supports their president. They even reported the opinion that 'the leader of the free world needs a new leader'.
