“Trump speaks loudly and carries a small stick”
timothysnyder.bsky.social Timothy Snyder @timothysnyder.bsky.social · Aug 15
"In the ancient world, people spoke of 'Ultima Thule,' a mythical land in the extreme north, the end of the earth. By venturing north to Alaska to meet Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump reaches his own Ultima Thule, the arctic endpoint of a foreign policy dreamworld."

We hear a lot about immigration-heavy industries like agriculture & construction. @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social writes about caregiving, one of the fastest-growing industries in the nation, where immigrants are at least 1/3 of the workforce & mass deportation might lead to a crisis of accessing care.
Mass Deportations Are Worsening the Caregiving Crisis
The loss of staff in the direct care industry threatens the lives of the elderly and people with disabilities.

Per the always-profane @jefftiedrich.bsky.social:

"Did you ever wonder would would happen if some [REDACTED] factotum at the RNC typed 'Donald Trump in front of a car' into an AI prompt + then farted the results out onto social media?"

Yup. He's in front of a...Lada. The Soviet car. From the USSR.
Screen shot of a tweet from the official "GOP" account, run by the Republican National Committee, that shows Donald Trump doing his characteristic fists-up dance, wearing a blue suit and red tie, tastefully accessorized with a bright-red "MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN" baseball cap (historically made in China). In the background, over a blue sky, is the headline 'MAKING AUTOMOBILES GREAT AGAIN' with the logo of the extreme-far-right Daily Signal "media" outlet below it. Trump stands in front of a squarish bright yellow 4-door sedan that auto reporters + others immediately identified as a Lada, the Soviet Russian "people's car" produced in high volumes, at very low standards of quality, starting in 1970.

Trump & the GOP just torched the ACA and our entire #healthcare system. 15%+ insurance hikes coming in 2026, millions losing coverage. Time for Democrats to stop playing nice and fight for wholesale change.

I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that.

The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one.

This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.
I work as an elder and hospice caregiver, which I am oddly passionate about. I can love on them shamelessly and no one complains about my codependence. It's a win-win situation. Many of my caregiving colleagues complain about the repetitive questions and, sometimes reactions, of the elderly, especially when those patients happen to read the newspaper, especially with the current downward spiral of our country — as if these people haven't lived through enough horror... I love my dementia peeps, but sometimes wonder if there's a Guinness Book World Record for how many times an hour a dementia patient can repeat the same question — it's got to be in the hundreds. At least with small children, they ask different questions. Dementia patients will get stuck on one short question and ask it until you can interrupt their train(carousel) of thought and successfully redirect their attention. That carousel is pretty manic sometimes. A couple days ago, I picked up my mail from the post office and drove over to the nursing home to take (let's call her "Miss Daisy") Miss Daisy out for a drive. Before we took off on our road trip, to the end of The Road and back, in our landlocked little town (Juneau, Alaska), I set my copy of The Onion down in front of her. Over our two-hour excursion, tiny Miss Daisy read that front page at least a dozen times and each time she would snicker, giggle, and guffaw, then put it down on the dash board and, a minute later, discover it anew. I think it was the best afternoon of my life. We don't often hear them laugh and when they do, it's the sweetest thing you've ever heard. ... Thank you, thank you, thank you, for the really important work all of you do. You make the world a better place.

All I’ll say is Trump’s extreme policies helped trigger Zohran Mamdani’s victory. Even independents and MAGA voters in Queens and the Bronx backed him... out of pure rebellion.

His affordability-focused message resonated in districts where the GOP gained ground last year.

This is the result of a Russian missile hit that damaged a civilian train today, carrying regular people, including the elderly, women, and kids. Sadly, people get used to seeing stuff like this, and it won't be all over the news. Don’t let it fade. Keep showing Russia's crimes
