It is hard to get over that the Q-Anon folks spent years feverishly looking in pizza parlors for the cabal of rich, elite pedophiles and it turns out THERE WAS ONE, right in front of their noses, which they failed to identify and instead voted for three times in a row.

I have had other colleagues from Europe tell me they simply will not attend conferences in the US for the foreseeable future because they no longer feel welcome. They have seen the stories of travelers detained and don't want to hand their social media over to the current administration for approval

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

To be clear, saying you're going to "avoid politics" is an INCREDIBLY political statement, especially in an age of fascism.

The Emperor was once out in the provinces, when he saw a peasant who looked remarkably like him. Summoning the man over, he asked if his mother had ever worked in the palace. "No, sir," the peasant replied, "But my father did."
The opening poem of the Man'yoshu, the very first anthology of Japanese poems dating from 759 AD, is the Emperor hitting on a peasant woman.

can never forget that Fred Trump spent his later years totally gaga but surrounded by a gaggle of senility-denial-enablers who drove him to a make believe office where a make believe secretary had him sign make believe papers—which sounds cute til you see the sequel & the secretary is Stephen Miller
Trump’s increasingly bizarre behavior can no longer be attributed to a calculated “strategy.”
Why isn’t the media reporting on Trump’s growing dementia?

I wrote a story @theguardian.com about Zhang Yadi, a London-bound Chinese student and Tibetan rights advocate who was arrested over the summer on suspicion of “inciting separatism.”
If found guilty, she faces a prison sentence of up to 15 years.

Kirk didn't serve in the military or hold office. The war hero treatment -- half-mast flags, military guard, Air Force Two escort, calls for a statue at the Capitol or to lie in the Rotunda -- shows that for MAGA, service to Trump has become the highest, most honorable form of service.
