Let’s have fun, but within reason.
Trump Says Smithsonian Focuses Too Much on ‘How Bad Slavery Was.”

Other troubling exhibits: using puppies to clear land mines, and the importance of science to test vaccines.

Every time I think they can’t stoop any lower, they set a new record.

Just found nightshade in a freshly planted wildflower patch.

God not again.
If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

Great talk and book signing by another favorite author, Kim Stanley Robinson. For me, he signed “New York 2140” and “The Ministry of the Future.” His careful optimism lets me dream that we are not lost.

Egg prices were up
6% last month.
If I were a Trump voter I’d be feeling really stupid right now.

Maybe we should focus on shower pressure instead.

Authoritarian leaders are most dangerous when they’re popular. Wrecking the economy is unlikely to broaden Trump’s support.

Is this what banana republics do? Sí.
There's a lot going on, God knows, but don't miss that the President of the United States is using the full force of the Federal government, as well as tax dollars, to punish a state because its Governor... refused to do as he instructed.

God you Trump voters are dumb.
Having to endure you is like being pulled under by a drowning fat man.
Nearly everything Trump is doing now was laid out in my 2020 bestseller HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT, which apparently was indeed hiding in plain sight. The book has a transcript of Trump explaining his plan in 2014. It also lays out the current plans of his partners. All of this could have been prevented.
"In other countries, this would be called 'an authoritarian coup.' In America, mealy-mouthed officials call our transition into a mafia state 'deeply troubling' and do little to curb the damage."

Book signing for the newest by #SarahKendzior “The Last American Road Trip.” Read this or her previous books, she’s been calling what we’re experiencing for years.

I’m enjoying my signed copy now, as one does in a nation in decline.
