Israel/Israeli people don't 'benefit from the cognitive dissonance', Netanyahu benefits by remaining in power and avoiding prosecution.
www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Israel benefits from a halo effect associated with the Holocaust. "Because the state of Israel was founded in response to the Nazi genocide, it is harder to accept that the Israeli government in turn would commit genocide. One obviously does not preclude the other, but Israel benefits from the cognitive dissonance."

Stablecoin issuers will likely include every major payment app, social media app, and e-commerce platform. There is already interest from Amazon, Meta, PayPal, and Shopify. But unlike companies providing traditional bank services, stablecoin providers will not be required to provide clear dispute-resolution processes, offer deposit insurance, or limit liability for unauthorized transactions on their customers' accounts.

We are needing to do everything all at once.
deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/blue-state...
We need Blue state governors to work with their respective Attorney General’s to determine: 1. Can the state legally withhold taxes to the federal government? 2. Can residents of the state legally avoid paying federal taxes by paying what is due directly to the state? Perhaps the federal taxes can be paid into a state created trust account that the state promises to pay the federal government assuming certain conditions are met to respect the rights of the people of each state?

Just noticed that Rogers' Wikipedia page has noted this one of traitor-administration's abominations.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles...
Asshole racist, ignorant, deplorable, racist, fascist morons! Intentionally enabled klepto plutocratic fucks in this country to fuck them over. Twice.
On November 1, 2021, Major General Rogers' service was recognized on the defense.gov website as part of their Medal of Honor Monday program.[4] On March 15, 2025, it was observed that the page honoring Major General Rogers had been deleted and the url changed to "deimedal-of-honor-monday-army-maj-gen-charles-calvin-rogers", which was inferred by many to be a racially-motivated erasure.[5]

Presto I'm a 🏈Chris Kluwe fan. Excerpts from Guardian interview article here: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
" “Maga stands for resegregation and racism,” he said in his council address. “Maga stands for censorship and book bans. … Maga is a profoundly corrupt, unmistakably anti-democracy and most importantly, Maga is explicitly a Nazi movement. You may have replaced a swastika with a red hat but that is what it is.” ... Kluwe hopes his protest will inspire other concerned citizens across the country to take a stand and motivate Democratic lawmakers in particular to fight harder. “Right now, the Democratic party is contributing nothing to trying to defend our nation,” says Kluwe, who had been on the phone with party operatives before clicking over to talk to me."

One of the reasons why RED beat BLUE
Text longer than 300 characters is in graphic: The Right knows US voters better than the Left. Why? 1)💙leaders [mostly] understand peeps with less $$/property, more worry & less time to deal, by using their imagination and empathy skills; while 2) 🟠oligarch/kleptos have been DEEPLY learning over decades by practicing/perfecting their cons!! Actual experience beats imagination and empathy every time. If you haven't 'been there', you're unlikely to understand. Even if it's just 'been a while' since you've 'been there'. You do forget. You're busy, too. Trying to do good, yeah? Think about it. This situation is a bear. In the meantime, learning how to scam somebody requires some serious understanding of what they know and how they tick.

So they're blatantly lifting the importance of guns over votes. So stupid even my fecking gun knows votes are more important.
heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/february-9...
Excerpt from linked article: "On Friday, [Drumpf] issued an executive order “protecting Second Amendment rights.” The order calls for Attorney General Pam Bondi to examine all gun regulations in the U.S. to make sure they don’t infringe on any citizen’s right to bear arms. The executive order says that the Second Amendment “is foundational to maintaining all other rights held by Americans.”

I have #LGBTQ neighbor who has put a black shroud over their old display of a rainbow flag next to a 2016 women's march sign.

Any ideas best to offer a 'buck-up' or a condolence or something to this household in these FUBAR times?
Sign says: In this house, we believe: Black Lives Matter. Women's rights are human rights. No human is illegal. Science is real. Love is love. Kindness is everything.
