I'm gonna go out on a limb and predict that a 10% tariff will not cause Greenlanders or Europeans to suddenly roll over and say, "sure, take it." And it certainly won't make the vast majority of Americans who recognize this fascist thuggery for what it is change our minds either. #Ihatethistimeline

I'm no huge fan of Epic but law firms mining confidential patient health data and then propositioning patients to get them to file lawsuits? That's bonkers.
A lawsuit filed by electronic health record giant Epic could encourage reforms to a problematic system, where non-health companies can get their hands on patient records without their knowledge.

First of all, good for her for calmly standing her ground and ignoring all the empty threats -- "we're gonna put you in the car and ID you!" -- until these goons give up and slink away.
Second, the irony of masked agents of the state with no name plates demanding *other* people identify themselves?

When you succumb to the cynicism, you are helping Trump. He wants you to think that all is lost, that he is all powerful, and that there is nothing we can do.
The fight for democracy is hard, but it is worth having. We have shown we can stand tall. We have shown we can win.

Many of you have become drama-addicted doomers, and you seem to think it's important for the rest of us to join you.
Yes, things are bad. But change is within our power. Grow up. Act like sober, responsible adults in a democracy instead of cynical, all-is-lost teenagers.
Now get off my lawn.

So in the 1st week of 2026 we invaded Venezuela, threatened multiple other countries (incl allies), took away science-based vaccine recs in favor of hyped anti-vax propaganda, told Americans to eat more beef tallow, and then to top it all off murdered the mom of a 6yo child. I am just beside myself.

I intended on posting about Jan 6 earlier, but I spent the day covering pardoned January 6 defendants, Proud Boys, supporters, family and friends of Ashli Babbitt as they gathered at the Ellipse and marched to the U.S. Capitol to mark the 5 year anniversary of January 6, 2021. So here's the thread:
