"Now, as fears emerge Trump’s administration is “dangerously” undermining the U.S. dollar, Musk has confirmed he wants to put the U.S. Treasury on a blockchain, the technology that underpins bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies—including Musk’s pet project dogecoin."

The thing that bothers me about our post-pandemic COVID discourse is how much of it isn't about how to do things better next time, it's playing Monday morning quarterback. It's not about learning, it's about spending years trying to win arguments that people had online from March 2020.
this is a good response to In Covid's Wake

what Kucharski gets right, crucially, is holding in tension the fact that the shutdown was brutally and inequitably costly, and the fact that not doing a shutdown would have been even more brutal and inequitable

JD Vance has declared that France and the United Kingdom having nuclear weapons is a security threat to the United States.

Russia and MAGA want every remaining democracy in the world to be weakened and defenseless.

When your wealth isolates you from reality, the reality you think you grasp is isolated from the wealth you revel in.

No one is hating on you.

A ton of people are struggling to survive & for many, your let them eat cake attitude is not going to be well received.

Less Me and more empathy, Mark. '💙
No shock. This app has turned my mentions, and others, into mostly hate. But there are a few people worth connecting with

CRAZY how it's easier these days to have a real discussion on X, or threads, than on here.

Now that Bari Weiss pulled a segment telling the truth about Trump's deportations to let Stephen Miller have his say (i.e. spread propaganda), it's a good time to check out our deep dive into Miller's real worldview and agenda, which doesn't pull any punches:

Inside Stephen Miller’s Dark Plot to Build a MAGA Terror State
He is descended from Russian Jews—you know, the kind of people who were once denounced as alien and unassimilable. Today, his project is to unleash government persecution of those he deems alien and u...

"Last week 4 people in ICE detention centers died last week and 1 this week. The Trump administration is using public money to fund privatized detention prison centers."

Democratic members of Congress MUST show up at ICE detention facilities announced to see what the conditions actually are.

20 State AGs have sued Russell Vought for trying to starve the CFPB of funding.

Since 2011, the CFPB has returned over $20B to consumers.

Without the Bureau, financial predators and scammers will have an easier time picking your pocket.

This whackadoodle antivaxer threatened to sue me & said she is going to subpoena my identity on X.

She accused me of hurting her brand. And worse.

Then blocked me.

I've never interacted with her before. I don't even know who she is, just that she's a litigious antivaxer nutter.

1/ Bondi claimed: These domestic terrorists use extreme views in favor of mass migration & open borders; adherence to radical gender ideology, anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, or anti-Christianity to advance political & social agendas.

Bondi is insane. Since when is having a POV a crime?

67 people-tracking Flock cameras across the U.S. were live-streaming on the internet, easily accessible with no login needed, @404media.co & @bennjordan.bsky.social found.

We know of five compromised Flock cams in Colorado.

One belongs to Douglas County, and it's at an open space trailhead.

Worth repeating this with every new Epstein document drop. The party of Denny Hastert is the party of Jim Jordan is the party of Matt Gaetz is the party of Donald Trump. Looking the other way and protecting child predators from the law is their brand.

KERNEN: What you hear is tariffs are a tax on US companies, and when you tax something you get less of it. How do you dispute that?

NAVARRO: As soon as you add that third party -- foreign countries -- it becomes not a tax but a form of leverage and a beautiful thing

Curious to learn more about CECOT?

Hear Juan, Andry, and Wilmer share firsthand how the Trump administration branded them as gang members without evidence and deported them to the brutal El Salvadoran prison.

BTW, there is no "debate" about sending people off to a state known to torture. It's already illegal under US federal law. See Article 3, Section 1 of the Convention Against Torture, signed by President Reagan and ratified by the US Senate. Then, see Article VI, Clause 2 of the US Constitution.
The full Weiss memo is dogshit
-who cares if administration figures “regret” sending people to CECOT
-who cares about the criminal histories of the people we sent to CECOT, we sent them to a torture prison
—who cares about the “debate” over the legality of sending people to a torture prison

When the Nazis came to power in 1933, the German constitution guaranteed freedom of speech and freedom of the press. Through decrees and laws, the Nazis abolished these civil rights and destroyed German democracy. Starting in 1934, it was illegal to criticize the Nazi government.
