I did a panel talk at @netrootsnation.bsky.social in 2019 about the far right as a global movement, but it has disappeared from its website.

Q: "It's not just Trump, we also heard from Elon Musk saying Zelenskyy has gone too far. Why are they blaming you for the continuation of this war?" Zelenskyy: "Because these people can't find a key to how to stop Putin. Because it's more difficult to stop Putin than to pressure others..."

In 2021, researchers used optogenetic therapy to partially restore sight in a blind man. They used light to turn nerve cells on & off. A clinical trial shows promise. It is the basis of the 2026 Nobel Prize in Medicine. A breakthrough yrs in the making. 🧪 www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

No doubt this has occurred to other bystanders as well, but it would seem that a handful of billionaires dropping $150 million into a single state's election in an attempt to defeat a wealth-tax initiative just about makes the entire case for a wealth-tax initiative.

The crowd’s at Trump’s staged events are getting smaller and smaller. Probably why they’re holding them in high school gymnasiums. A rally deep in the red state of Tennessee was overshadowed by the copious amounts of empty seats.

Four days before yesterday’s ICE shooting in the Bronx, Judge Gary Brown of EDNY (Trump apptee) listed 7 outrages in an ICE case before him, including evasive & apparently perjurious testimony, post-hoc sworn arrest warrant containing false info, woeful lack of training … 1/2
The evidence points to numerous failings on the part of both ICE and the officers
who testified, including:
1. evasive and apparently perjurious testimony by the ICE agents, including the
testimony concerning supposed observations of the petitioner engaging in drug
transactions, which bear all the hallmarks of coordinated fabrication,12 the absence of any recovered drugs, paraphernalia or cash from the petitioner,
the failure of the agents to follow up upon these supposed observations or refer
the matter to another law enforcement agency, and the notable absence of any
reference to these observations in the voluminous documentary records, further undermining the agents' testimony;
2. the seemingly reflexive, though false, claims that the petitioner was
"misidentified" as the target of the operation;
3. fundamental misconceptions about ICE agents authorities and duties;
4. illegality of the arrest and detention of petitioner and Concepcion;
5. the post-arrest documents, which not only were procedurally and legally
suspect, but contain false statements;Notably, in its filings, Government counsel has not referenced this testimony, seemingly abandoning any argument predicated upon these sworn assertions by the agents.

6. the database search process used to justify the administrative warrant, as
described by the ranking supervisory officer, which appears designed to generate misleading information in official records; and
7. the inexperience of the agents involved, their woeful lack of proper training, understanding of law, policies and procedures, and their ready recourse to false testimony to conceal these failings.
