Someone should start a salt lick craze. There should be a startup with hip branding and an app selling high-end salt licks for people to carry around and lick while waiting in line or hanging. It should be revealed later that the licks are contaminated with toxic heavy metals.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.
I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.
Remind you of anyone?

No matter how things shake out, story of these months is the complete and utter capitulation of American institutions—law firms, universities, Democratic party, etc.—to authoritarianism at a speed and willingness that far outpaces what we've seen in other countries. Puts the whole country to shame.

there’s no way to exaggerate the dangerous depravity of a President & his henchmen claiming to be “fighting antisemitism” to justify a jackboot crackdown on constitutional rights & freedoms while embracing Nazism to the point that the President even claims authority to declare who is or isn’t Jewish
