Interesting how 80% of the press corps are stenographers for law enforcement when the subjects are poor and working people but when it comes to the powerful, all of a sudden everything is alleged and also "hard to prove."

There is currently an NWS flash flood warning in effect for all five boroughs of NYC.
But no City agency has posted it on this platform.
Please help spread the word.

Hey, remember when the Panama Papers were released and they showed how basically every wealthy person on the planet was avoiding taxes by offshoring their money and nothing was done about it except the reporter who broke the story was murdered with a car bomb?

Texas had local elections across the entire state this weekend.
How do you think it went? Let me just say.. the far right didn’t come out ahead. Even in red Collin and Tarrant counties.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

This isn't something that can just end with a vote and a change at the top.
This can only end with wholesale political system change, plus life in prison, plus confiscation of assets for the perpetrators.
Because the other option is the end of life for dictators. Hung from streetlight.

“…it is someone acting extra to the law, extra to the legal framework, it is a form of state capture and the really disturbing thing, that in much of the US media and in much of the British media is barely causing a raised eyebrow. We’re treating it as if it’s normal.”

On LBC this morning, I spoke about why we should be far more worried the power Elon Musk is accruing, especially in light of his Open AI moves.
The normalisation of his actions and activity by quite a bit of the US and even UK media is a big part of the problem. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGnt...

Sheldon Wolin’s theory of #invertedtotalitarianism has come to fruition.
Check out Democracy, Inc. if you haven’t. I read it around the time of the Iraq war and I must say he was spot on.
Political apathy is what differentiates the United States from Nazi Germany.

Last Trump term, I followed the news fanatically and tweeted every horror. It made it difficult for me to both act and be present.
Gentle suggestion: stay informed, but don’t fall into the panic spiral. Pick a cause or two and support it regularly.

One thing before tomorrow:
Use your local libraries.
Get your card.
Borrow books, manga, films, audios, ebooks.
Recommend titles for purchase (usually online).
Attend promoted activities.
Fill out those "How are we doing?" questionnaires.
Tell your kids that libraries are good.
They are.

Sitting down to compose a hopeful message for 2025 is a tough ask given the year we’ve just had. Even glib sentiments are hard to come by. The defeat of pro-democracy forces in the US presidential election still weighs like a heavy anchor on my attempts to move on. 1/11
