The sign of an authoritarian government is military presence in the streets. The first time I went to mainland China, this is what I saw. I’ve seen it in Mexico. I’ve never seen it in the UK, Ireland, Canada, or the US, until now.

Eating sea cucumber is like holding a gooey, tasteless soggy bread & tapioca water mixture in your mouth while you argue with over whether spitting or swallowing is the lesser of evils. It’s the worst thing I’ve ever ingested. I would eat it all day every day if it meant getting rid of Donald Trump.

Hey, Justice Roberts, is this what you meant by "“facilitate and effectuate the return" of Mr. Abrego Garcia?
Because I'm not a lawyer, but it sure as hell looks like contempt of court to me.

The fact that the government is using charges of antisemitism to justify sending people to concentration camps is the most enraging manipulation of discourse that the current fascists have engaged in thus far.
They’ll live out their Nazi fantasies all while claiming they are doing it for the Jews.

Trump's highest tariff will kill tiny African kingdom of Lesotho, economist says
A 50% reciprocal trade tariff on Lesotho, the highest levy on U.S. President Donald Trump's long list of target economies, will kill the tiny Southern African kingdom that Trump ridiculed last month, an economic analyst there said on Thursday.

This Steve Jobs quote hit me"For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been no for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something."

"Leaders at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ordered staff this week not to release their experts’ assessment that found the risk of catching measles is high in areas near outbreaks where vaccination rates are lagging, according to internal records reviewed by ProPublica."
The CDC Buried a Measles Forecast That Stressed the Need for Vaccinations
The move — along with the CDC’s explanation — is a sign that the nation’s top public health agency may be falling in line under HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime critic of vaccines.
