Thoughts on creating a term, “public wealth” to encompass everything we do to improve our broader communities & create shared resources. Schools. Healthcare.Public spaces. Public art. It’s changes government into things we all own. It’s the opposite of individual wealth.

President Trump asserted on Tuesday that undocumented immigrants should not be entitled to trials, insisting that his administration should be able to deport them without appearing before a judge.
Trump Says Undocumented Immigrants Shouldn’t Get Trials Before Deportation

Cool. We have our own ChiCom style social scoring system to determine who gets sent to prison with no due process.
In order for ICE to declare someone an "Alien Enemy," ICE must first determine they are a Venezuelan over age 14, and then second find 8 points on a scoring guide they made up.
4 points for having alleged gang tattoos + 4 points for displaying gang "logos" or "symbols" = 8 points = TDA member.

@mikeinacay.bsky.social & @schatz.bsky.social I know there’s not much to be done legislatively. Why not pick fights that make 2026 easier. Complain about social media algorithms not being fair to Dems. Start attacking purple GOP Senators for not standing up to the chaos. ETC

“You know why Trump arrested Khalil first? Precisely because he’s not the most sympathetic figure. His views are bigoted and extreme. I certainly don’t want to be in the business of defending him.
But that’s the thing about freedom: You have to defend it for everyone, or it applies to no one.”

Daredevil: Born Again is about a blind vigilante fighting Donald Trump. That's what it's about. That is 1000% what it's about. As such it has more guts than any political thriller you've seen on TV this year.

When Trump tries to postpone elections at some point one argument his people will make is, “But Zelensky postponed elections and you didn’t think that made him a dictator.”

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID.
This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC.
What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.
