Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Almost every major news story this week is about how the entire economy is now gambling, scams, bribes and theft.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

This is the education plank of the plot to enslave America: secular private academies for the rich, religious instruction for the middle class, and a prison-like rump of public schools for the poor. With our Constitution in tatters, they're racing to implement it
The Texas House early on Thursday approved a far-reaching school voucher program, agreeing to send $1 billion of taxpayer dollars to families for private and often religious education. trib.al/MKJ8Kyg

Perioidic reminder that the reason you didn't see autistic people with intellectual disabilities on the street five decades ago was not because they didn't exist. It's because they were sent away to institutions and their parents were told to put away pictures of them.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

I've seen tragic moments in American history. (Shootings of MLK and RFK in 1968.)

I've seen infuriating moments. (Bush v Gore 2000. 'Weapons of mass destruction' 2002-2003.)

But I can't recall a moment as flat-out stupid as Trump's tariff declaration.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

Does everyone understand they are breaking of public services because 1) they want to privatize them to make money off of them, 2) they do not believe everyone should have access to these services. This is how white supremacist eugenicists who think empathy is a weakness function.

Measles requires 95% vaccination rates for herd immunity.

It has a 16.2% case fatality rate for unvaccinated children under 5 years and 24% for children under 9 months (who are unable to be vaccinated).

30% of the survivors experience severe complications like blindness, deafness, or encephalitis.
These are the vaccination rates of kindergartners by state. It takes 95% coverage of MMR vaccine to prevent measles outbreaks & most states are not achieving it. I fear that under the new administration rates will drop even further and we will start to see preventable illness, disability, and death

Okay, the news that Sh*tler is taking over the Kennedy Center is pretty minor news - few people will be materially affected by this.

But in terms of norms and the Authoritarian Playbook it’s pretty huge. It demonstrates that his actions are not about (shameful, stupid) policy but about -kingship.-

His administration is literally composed of men who beat and batter women.
Trump: "My administration will not stand by and watch men beat and batter female athletes. And it's gonna end, and it's ending right now, and nobody is gonna be able to do a damn thing about it, because when I speak, we speak with authority."

Move fast and break things is not the motto you want to adopt at a regulatory system that, as challenged as it may seem at times, is extremely functional.

Demagogues, oligarchs, and literal teenage boys are tearing apart our government. They are fueled by Silicon Valley’s dream of a monarchist network state and blood and soil white nationalism and every day they are in power means years of work required to fix it.

The Republicans hold majorities in both houses of Congress and the Supreme Court and hold the White House and they could pass basically whatever agenda they would care to enact, but they have instead decided on a unique strategy of letting someone unelected do crimes all over the federal government.

Marco Rubio is visiting Panama this weekend to try to annex the Panama Canal.

Panama is currently bracing for an American invasion and is warning there could be mass casualties.

The U.S. is acting like Russia when it invaded Ukraine—and is making the world less safe in the process.

An unelected, erratic, ketamine-addled billionaire with far right/white nationalist views has taken control of the personnel and payment systems of the United States government. Not an exaggeration, not hyperbole.
