I'm not a big fan of our modern dystopia. Things are definitely getting weird.
I remain delighted and heartened by the depth and beauty of human conviction and compassion I'm seeing in the world. People showing up is so needful - we truly rely on these as our primary counterpoint to the banalities of complacency and evil.

New from 404 Media: the Signal clone the Trump administration uses was just hacked. TeleMessage makes a modified version of Signal that archives messages for government agencies, Waltz used it. A hacker got some users' messages, group chats. Hugely significant breach www.404media.co/the-signal-c...

Ooooooh, not good. Down thread Chernobyl references are accurate!
OK, non-finance people: crash course in bonds. Bond prices and yields moving opposite directions. Yields on US govt bonds [“treasuries”] are surging (ie the prices are falling). Prices are falling because people are selling treasuries at a massive clip.
I am actually scared now

In Chicago, I saw folks who are plausibly asylum seekers bussed in from Texas.
A woman and young child, carrying their possessions, essentially begging at store corners and moving frequently to avoid being hassled. A young woman, staring.
Each one of them, somebody.

We saw a dramatic expansion of civil rights, in part, for this reason. If any of us have no rights, eventually none of us have rights. B/C those "rights" will be curtailed the instant you fail to conform. People who were marginalized in WW2, McCarthyism, and the Cold War know that in their bones.
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.

It's oddly beautiful.
It's also a great illustration of why regulation and quality control are critical (and why political deregulation is so concerning). Environmental and safety regulations are written in human blood.

I think that we should be talking about what Trump is trying to do to trans people in the context of the Nuremberg laws.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

+1E6 - nothing good ever happened from people defacto caving to intimidation made in flagrant violation of democratic law. The unbearable asymmetry of bullshit requires that you entertain the notion of this stuff as valid. It's not. If someone's going to pretend BS is law - put all effort on *them.*
These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.
