We are going to have the mother of all economic crashes.
We have had stable, professional, vouchsafed information about the physical & economic world for so long that we entirely take it for granted. It's going to be truly wild to operate in a world where quite literally no one knows for sure what is happening, where there is no fact of the matter.
Trump: "You're right. Why should anybody trust numbers?"

This is amazing and brave. They tried to officially ban Pride after trying to kill it with a million pricks. The Project 2025 playbook has been field tested.
Absolutely incredible turnout for Budapest Pride! So proud of all the organizers, including some old friends, who estimate hundreds of thousands— major embarrassment to Orban

There are only three political positions in America today
1) I like the fascism
2) I'll acquiesce to the fascism (reasons for this one vary: cowardice, access, denial, misguidedly thinking that acquiescence is savvy, etc)
3) I oppose the fascism
The rest is details

It's been really demoralizng how much the press mindlessly repeats the lie that the National Guard was sent to quell violence.
It was sent to start violence. People know this, so just say it.

The All Bets Are Off point is getting closer and closer.
Approaching All Bets Are Off status.
Update: reports today that multiple legal observers were arrested today in New York at two separate immigration courts, for allegedly “obstructing” ICE.
Not only that, apparently some immigration courts are barring the public from attending hearings.
This mess is escalating fast.

Immigration court arrests continued across the nation yesterday (and are likely ongoing today).
Yesterday, in NYC, 30 ICE officers swarmed the immigration court, holding lists of names of people to arrest. All were dutifully attending their immigration hearings and many had pending asylum claims.

Speaker Johnson, it's Police Week. Why won't you hang this plaque honoring Capitol Police?
The plaque honoring the heroes of January 6 is finished, but the GOP refuses to hang it in the Capitol.
Not one Republican has offered a reason why.
If they can’t respect the officers who defended our democracy, the very least they can do is respect the law.

Well, this is definitely not a good sign.
