He gave plenty of indicators as to where he was heading.
The year is 2003.
17-year-old Stephen Miller is sitting in the back of a school bus talking about torture, as in “Torture is a celebration of human life and dignity."
Miller looks directly into the camera and describes the torturing Iraqis in gruesome detail, as his peers laugh uncomfortably.

I regularly donate to wikipedia and will now push a bit more towards them.
1/5 Elon Musk and David Sacks are attacking Wikipedia again.
They say they will replace it with “Grokipedia.”
Why? Because quick, free, independent fact-checking is their enemy.
They cannot control it. And that terrifies them

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

With all that's going on in the world right now, this 65 year old is starting to struggle mentally. I find myself looking for little boosts, however small. Today I reminded myself that this aeonium was rescued from Storm damage 2 years ago, it was almost dead. Look at it now.

I listen to music a lot, maybe 3-4 hours a day. I rarely watch TV, music is my go to thing.
A few days ago I stumbled upon this piece by Lee Abraham and was blown away by it. I have listened to it over 50 times now. An incredible piece and I feel the need to share.

Here’s a video of Stephen Miller in high school screaming that he’s “sick and tired of being told to pick up my trash, when we have plenty of janitors who are paid to do it for us.”

If this happens, I will be delighted. I look forward to the Jangus show, where many words will be spoken, but no sense will be made.
How hilariously delightful that old mate Angus picked renowned public intellectual and 5 minute Liberal, Jacinta P as his running mate

Read it and weep. If Trump, or any of his sycophant appointments are asked about this, they will simply spout a word salad or two and ignore the truth. They are all too busy making $ millions themselves, to worry about the consequences of this doomed approach.
Long thread of real life, anecdotal stories of #TrumpsTariffs impact on businesses.
This is a FRACTION of stories happening across the country.
Post yours here.
