I’m gonna post this video every day so we NEVER FORGET what Donald Trump did to the USA on Jan 6th

Democratic leadership, you can forget about grass roots donations. We’re too strapped paying for the health insurance we can’t afford. Go fuck yourselves until you have actual progressives on the ticket.

ABC joins the networks kowtowing to the Trump administration. Corporations will not stand up for free speech. They only care about financials, and this fascist administration will use that to silence its critics.

I’m amazed that everyone is barking about the jet on the same week Trump’s toady Miller floated suspending Habeas Corpus. One is a bribe, the other is the end of the rule of law. Perspective.

The incompetence is part of the terror. Your life is blasted to smithereens while a MAGA ghoul smirk-shrugs, “Oops” then goes back to shitposting.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

SINNERS. Go see it. In a theater. 70mm if possible. I’d read nothing about the movie, watched no trailers — went in blind and was BLOWN AWAY. And Delroy Lindo better get an Oscar nomination.

Kennedy and “environmental toxins”. Science 101, the way you avoid confirmation bias is by investigating the null hypothesis, i.e that there is no such toxin. If you start at “finding” the toxin, you’re confirming your beliefs, not seeking knowledge.

Studio finally lifted the curtains on this: www.youtube.com/watch?app=de...

youtu.be/iYoAodq6-K4 good bit of sanity and reflection. His administration did a lot of things I don’t agree with, but I never questioned his commitment to our democracy.

Sleepy is sleepy.

Listening to NPR this morning about how the Dems are going to react to Trump’s address with a cluster of unrelated stunts. FFS. All of you show up un Ukraine’s colors. All of you turn around and give him your back. Unity. Show Unity. Why can’t you get it together?!

Coding with AI assistance is like have an incredibly well informed, eager to contribute, fast grad student assistant, who is also, unfortunately, a pathological liar. Yes, they can be helpful, but it’s more of a gamble than I’m comfortable with.

The Papua New Guinea Courier is in rare form.

So, this morning’s news, Trump makes executive order to universities to report on immigrant/visiting students who supported Palestine against Israeli war crimes. Strange, didn’t realize that universities were part of the federal government. Oh wait… they’re not. And Trump isn’t a king. Fuck off.

I want to stress something important. I know about the Times’ owner, and his interference in the Ed page (and maybe more). But without the LAT, you would only know what the White House told you about this. Support journalists and journalism. www.latimes.com/environment/...

What Trump wants to do is set up a concentration camp in Guantamo for the group he has scapegoated to gain power. We have all seen this play before. He wants it out of the US and remote so we can not easily see what happens there. News should call it what it is.
