assuming
did not export goods
forgive me
they were taking advantage of us
so cunning

Holy crap, that was blatant.
Once you establish that people can be punished because the administration doesn't like their speech, expanding the bounds of who can be treated that way becomes inevitable.

One of my favorite people, Josephine Baker. The US should have treated her better, but our loss was France’s huge gain.
While remembered for her provocative dances, vaudeville routines, & appearances in films, Josephine Baker, American expatriate turned French citizen, fearlessly turned to espionage, using her celebrity status to capture information for the French Resistance when Paris fell to the Nazis.

John Adams remains one of our most intelligent FF. He knew firsthand how pernicious government can be towards its citizens.
Trump is the EXACT kind of leader our FF was worried about. This is one of my favorite quotes by him.

If you’re an American college student, and you’re not a white male studying something other than science or history, I feel like there’s very little point in worrying about getting expelled. The US has no use for your future degree, unless we first end the current regime.

Maybe corny but it was helpful for me to hear Henry Rollins saying "this is not time to be dismayed, this is punk rock time, this is what Joe Strummer trained you for... You can be thunderous in your own life, to the eight people around you. That rubs off... Goodness is viral"

Musk sure didn't like it when ProPublica got access to his taxpayer data though. Reminder DOGE isn't a real government entity and there's an actual organization designed to track govt efficiency. It's a data mining operation.
🚨 SCOOP: DOGE is seeking personal taxpayer data at IRS, sources tell me. 🚨
Trump admin is pushing IRS to agree to an MOU that would give DOGE access to granular data on every taxpayer, business and nonprofit in the country.

The top two stories on Axios right now make kind of a funny juxtaposition. One is about how Johnson can’t avoid a shutdown without Democratic votes. Two is about how mad Dem reps are at their constituents for telling them to do something, when they’re in the minority and obviously can’t do anything.

If you're wondering why some of us seem more angry at Democrats than Republicans it's because Republicans loudly announced all the evil shit they planned to do, Democrats fund-raised off of it for months, then after losing the election just slunk away and pouted in a pile of feigned incompetence.

In this case, “feels like” does not even help, because I’m happy to say that I don’t know what -15F feels like. Nor will I be going outside to check.
