Sometimes I remember I'm supposed to be promoting this thing. I'm proud of it. If you're into incantatory grief poetry, given to the rushed wallowing of modernity, or find yourself searching for the fragile stillness between trauma and music, you might like it.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.
He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”
What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

This whole anti-vax thing, just letting kids get sick and die?
Yeah. It's Nazi shit. We have a measles outbreak (and are flirting with a Polio outbreak by not requiring the immunization) because of Nazis.

![Social Darwinism came to play a major role in the ideology of Nazism, where it was combined with a similarly pseudo-scientific theory of racial hierarchy in order to identify the Germans as a part of what the Nazis regarded as an Aryan or Nordic master race.[1] This ideology held unreservedly to the notion of the survival of the fittest, at both the level of the individual as well as the level of entire peoples and states. This notion claimed to have natural law on its side. All opposing religious and humanitarian views would ultimately prove to be unnatural. A person could only prove its worth in the long run in this ongoing "struggle for survival", if they promoted the best and, if necessary, eliminated those that weakened them. Moreover, only a person as racially pure as possible could maintain the "struggle for existence". To maintain or improve the Nordic-Germanic race, therefore, the laws of eugenics or the (biologistically oriented) "racial hygiene" would have to be strictly observed, that is, the promotion of the "genetically healthy" and the elimination of the "sick". All those with hereditary illnesses or who were severely mentally and physically disabled were classified as "lives unworthy of life" (lebensunwertes Leben). They would, in terms of natural selection, be "eliminated". This form of eugenics was eventually the basis of the National Socialist genetic health policy which was elevated to the rank of state doctrine.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:f3cahrimdma5gcpwqvwa5blu/bafkreigkf45c2bpbsme4gcrz2peacqtckokhxdjgglojkaawusg52m3cle@jpeg)

Has anyone considered the notion that because they are so relentlessly and chronically online, flat earthers may simply be projecting the shape of their screens onto the entire world?
Basically: their world is flat so yours must be, too?

Hey @abigailspanberger.com. what are we doing about this?
3. ICE is using government data from state DMVs and federal agencies and refuses to answer questions about how that data is used. I'm also leading that fight in the Senate to rein them in, and warned states that care about their residents to stop sharing DMV data with ICE.
Dem governors unwittingly share DMV data with ICE, lawmakers warn
40 congressional Democrats are urging blue-state leaders to block ICE access to a database containing residents’ driver license and registration information.

Y'all do realize this is the fall of an empire, right?
Have you read enough history to recognize that? Because if you have, this isn't alarmist; it is unmistakable.
I mean, go vote and everything. Just know where you are.
