To say this for the 50th time, for anyone who doesn't know:

Three young conservative lawyers were part of the GOP "Florida recount" team that led to GWB becoming president, via Bush-v-Gore.

They were: John Roberts. Brett Kavanaugh. Amy Coney Barrett.

Small world.

This is a good example of the efficacy of stochastic terrorism. Make your base hate enough and you can incite them to commit heinous crimes.

Our New Mexico Secretary of State @sosmaggie.bsky.social is protecting us from identity theft and is not giving away our social security numbers to anyone. As a result the Feds are suing her. Stay strong Maggie! New Mexicans stand with you. sourcenm.com/briefs/us-ju...

I was wondering if the demolition of our historic White House is still underway … it seems to be. Then I looked up the architect who had the audacity to destroy a national monument and he is a professor at Catholic University in DC.

JD Vance’s racist rant about Indigenous American history is part of a long tradition of psyops designed to continue the imperial conquest of native cultures. It’s dangerous and fuels more stochastic terrorism. They want to drill oil in sacred places like Chaco Canyon. That’s why he is doing it.

In @annaleen.bsky.social book Stories Are Weapons we learn that these “personality” tests are made by companies like Cambridge Analytics with the express goal of profiling people to manipulate them in some very specific nefarious ways. Really these tests are not innocent. Her book is great. Read it!
oh damn that's less than I thought

I’m driving across the country through red states, about 1500 miles. On a similar route last summer, it was peppered with Trump flags. This time I have seen one Trump sign and one flag in tatters. Over the summer I saw maybe 200 Trump bumper stickers. This time: one. He really has lost his base.
