No One Knows How This Will End (But I Do Not Think It Will End Well for Them)
I can sum up the Trump/Musk/Vance theory of power in five words: "We have power; you don't." Alternative version in six words: "we can do anything we want." They seem to believe that nothing is really...

Trump's Project 2025 is a detailed plan to shut you up, and shut you out. Don’t let it do either. Read on, then vote.

yup .... and in the states, a CBS meteorologist was fired for talking about this salute during his weather report
“How each legacy media organization responds to events like this will tell us how accommodating they will be to the rise of fascism in the United States. It is a litmus test of adaptation to authoritarianism.”

I appreciate why those appalled by the attack on Congress January 6, 2021, emphasize the violence against police that day. Trump supporters and fellow-travelers will concede that violence against police is wrong - even if they hedge with many "what abouts?" 1/x

On Aug 2022, 🇨🇦 BC’s Provincial Infection Control Network updated its document titled: “Covid-19: Risk of SARS-CoV-2 Aerosol Transmission in Health-Care Settings.”
Then a year later, on Sept 2023, it was archived for “historical reference only.”
Let’s take a look, shall we?

Disinformation and the grifters who spread it can be pretty depressing.
But every now and then, they do something so cringe we can't help but laugh.

A maze of tunnels built by Hamas extends below the Gaza Strip. No outsider has an exact map of the network. But photos and video and reports from people who have been in the tunnels suggest the basic outlines of the system and how it is used.
