I think over half this country, myself included, need to prepare ourselves for the moment that the Epstein Files are finally released, they are as bad or worse than we fear, and still nothing that resembles justice happens.

Following illegal orders is illegal, but that only matters in a world of truth and accountability. I hope yesterday's election outcomes remind ICE agents and other Trump enablers that accountability is coming.

Hey creatives: I need a montage of Trump's 60 minutes quote saying ICE isn't violent enough repeating on loop against a backdrop of the ever-increasing video evidence of ICE violence. Please and thank you.

Maybe someone smarter than me can explain this: how the heck is the national AVERAGE price of a dozen eggs $1.33, but the lowest prices by state is $6.79 in SD!? And where can I find these mystical $1.33/dz eggs?

A suggestion for your next book club pick, especially if you are in a red state. Should be a spicy discussion.

I'll be in Normandy for a week. Other than the D Day beaches and cemeteries, what other must-see places should we explore?

I am thinking of all our service people at bases within striking distance of Iran. I am scared for them.
Sadly, I do not expect that Trump dragging the US into war would lose him many supporters. They are in too deep to turn back now. They will appreciate the distraction and somehow Blame Biden.

This math ain't mathing. And coupled with Elon's latest claim during the bro spat it is all looking very shady.
The people at @smartelections.bsky.social are moving forward with a major lawsuit in NY over this obvious instance of fraud that took place in the 2024 Election...

Federal workers spoke to reporters after DOGE fired them. Now they face investigation.
At least half a dozen USAID employees are facing threats of "disciplinary action" for speaking to reporters after they thought they had been fired.

Must read: Nexus by Yuval Noah Harari. It provides great perspective on the role of information tech in shaping political movements.
TLDR: I'm scared for the US. Elon's centralization of citizen's private data and unsupervised insertion of AI code is beyond alarming.

SCOTUS agreed with the District Court that DJT must "facilitate" Kilmar's return, but took issue with the requirement to also "effectuate" it. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25....
Bukele visits the WH today. Will DJT further 'facilitate' by asking the Kilmar be released pretty please?

Can you imagine what a wonderful world it would be if the right-wing machine put their collective energy into making our lives better instead of just ruining their "enemies?" Instead of an age of enlightenment and joy, we instead have a greater appreciation for how the Dark Ages happened.
