Someone said don’t call MAGAs “Christian Nationalists,,” but call them Nationalist Christians, or “Nat-Cs” for short.
And now I can’t unsee it.

Oh, wow. That’s a shame. Sink a good product for the hope of political gain. Yea, well, remember the Tesla Takedown? Perhaps we will be seeing a “Toyota Takedown” soon.
Akio Toyoda, Toyota's shadow CEO, has gone full MAGA.
Under his watch, Toyota has cozied up to Trump & become the largest funder of climate deniers & the most aggressive anti-climate lobbyist in the auto industry.
Toyota's far from the green darling it claims to be.

Not good news: The FDA is conducting fewer foreign inspections
The FDA is cutting down its safety inspections of foreign food imports, even though nearly all seafood, about 60% of fresh fruit and about 40% of vegetables are imported, and we increasingly rely on food imports. As ProPublica…

The FDA is cutting down its safety inspections of foreign food imports, even though nearly all seafood, about 60% of fresh fruit and about 40% of vegetables are imported, and we increasingly rely on food imports. As ProPublica explains, Foreign Food Safety Inspections Hit Historic Low After Trump Cuts. These crucial foreign inspections are neither easy nor cheap. They typically last longer than domestic ones and cost nearly $40,000 a visit, and they can require months of logistical planning, special visas and diplomatic approval from the host country...Then Congress passed the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2011, which set firm targets for the agency: It needed to

Due to the Trump administration's failure to appoint responsible management to oversee the nation's health, the New England Journal of Medicine and the Center for Infectious Disease Research will begin publishing public health alerts.

I must admit: this was shocking. Buddhism is being used as a cudgel against others in a quest for power. Makes me think of American “Christianity.” - Religion is personal. Its practice belongs at home, not in politics. And, power corrupts. Money is a corrupting tool. But, power is the evil behind it
The dangerous rise of Buddhist extremism: ‘Attaining nirvana can wait’
The long read: Still largely viewed as a peaceful philosophy, across much of south-east Asia, the religion has been weaponised to serve nationalist goals

Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone.
Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work.
Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.

Can we just savor the fact that, in these days before Thanksgiving, a federal judge threw out the cases against James Comey and Letitia James and noted that Lindsey Halligan was illegally appointed (making clear that Trump's the one who violated the law)?

Vladimir Putin welcomed the Trump administration's
"28 point peace proposal," saying it “could form the basis of a final peace settlement.”
Trump says it’s based on input from both Russia and Ukraine. Complete nonsense of course, but it's well known Trump will say whatever his boss tells him to.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

When domestic terrorists wear face masks, don’t wear uniforms or show any form of ID that legitimizes their authority, there is NOTHING protecting people from these types of criminals. That is, when the public cannot tell the difference between criminals and “legitimate” law enforcement…

Warning for North Carolina: Scams are increasing, and the confusion is being made worse by ICE agents failing to properly identify themselves and wearing masks. As a result, residents are becoming targets of immigration fraud.
