I take Wikipedia for granted. Reading this Jimmy Wales interview reminded me in our Fantasyland age what a remarkable and important creation it is. True pillar of civilization.

Someone needs to say it. Trump 2028 isn’t happening.
We know the presidency ages you, and we’re witnessing his rapid decline. His approval is buried in the 30s, and his stamina is gone. He won’t be able to vigorously campaign.
He can pretend 2028 is inevitable, but everyone can see the truth.

It's amazing how so many billionaires - who have WAY more money than they could possibly need in 500 lifetimes - REALLY want to avoid paying small slivers of tax money to benefit a common good like social safety services for less fortunate countrymen within the society that made them billionaires.

Tomorrow Hegseth will likely claim he has no idea who the actual Secretary of Defense is, and Trump will probably try to say it’s Biden.
Also, a good reminder that, while badly damaged, rule of law norms still keep popping up to bite the would-be autocrats, contrary to what doomers keep saying.

This is great, now Team Trump is acknowledging that illegal orders were given to kill survivors of the initial strike, the only question is who gave them? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Translation: Pete may well go down for this. But I’m not going with him.
Reporter: If there were a second strike that killed wounded people, would that be legal?
Trump: I don’t know that happened and Pete said he did not even know what people were talking about. I wouldn’t have wanted a second strike. The first strike was very lethal. It was fine.

📌⚖️🇺🇸👇🏾 Denaturalization has a horrible history in the United States. It has been used against women who married to foreign men for sexist reasons and it’s been used against people of color for racist reasons.
Reporter: You said that you might denaturalize American citizens?
Trump: If we have criminals that came in and were naturalized through Biden or somebody that didn’t’ know what they were doing—if I have the power to do it… I would denaturalize
