It is lost in the chaos of everything today but it is bug fuckin nuts that the VP is IN ANOTHER COUNTRY at a rally specifically to ensure a fellow fascist is reelected as Prime Minister. Like I cannot think of another time a VP POLITICALLY CAMPAIGNED FOR A FOREIGN GOVERNMENT in my lifetime

We didn’t have to be here. There is no reason or excuse that is good enough for re-electing this man. Not a single one. And hell no there is and never will be a valid “lesser of 2 evils“ excuse that serves any purpose other than trying to make yourself feel better. 🤷🏾‍♀️ apnews.com/live/iran-wa...

Are you going to impeach the president today? No? Then you do, in fact, support making a whole civilization die.

"History will judge-" let me stop you right fucking there, history doesn't do fucking shit, I'm a historian, let's be clear here: elected officials need to do their fucking jobs, right now, before it happens, or future historians will judge THEM. Everyone knows and knew who Trump was.

From NASA: Our planet draws closer to passing behind the Moon in this image captured by the Artemis II crew during their lunar flyby, about six minutes before Earthset. Earth is in a crescent phase, with sunlight coming from the right. The dark portion of Earth is experiencing nighttime. On Earth’s day side, swirling clouds are visible over muted blue in the Australia and Oceania region.
The lines of small indentations on the Moon’s rugged surface are secondary crater chains. These structures are formed by material ejected during a violent primary impact.

We know they are indecent and power hungry and fine with being complicit. But to see them all shrug while the president does some kind of weird, war crime riddled social media negotiations, is a horror. No one’s going to stop him? Not enough self-preservation to step in?

The media told us, based on the amount of coverage they devoted to it, that the number one military-related issue of the 2024 campaign was whether Tim Walz retiring from the National Guard after 21 years was too soon or not.

BREAKING Trump’s executive order directing federal agencies to stop funding NPR and PBS is “unlawful and unenforceable,” a federal judge ruled. Doc buff.ly/WcnQN4A
The President may, of course, engage in his own expressive conduct, including criticizing the views, reporting, or programming of NPR, PBS, or any other news outlet with whom he disagrees. The government may also fund its own speech and may fund government programs
that promote specific perspectives on issues of public importance, and it may decide which views or perspectives to convey—and which not to convey—in any such government speech or program. And it may impose limits on federal grants to ensure that they are deployed to further
the legitimate purposes of the program and may pick and choose among applicants based on legitimate criteria. But the First Amendment draws a line, which the government may not cross, at efforts to use government power—including the power of the purse—“to punish or suppress disfavored expression” by others.

It should make Republicans *very* nervous to compare the listless unattendance of conservatives at CPAC this week with the enthusiastic, overwhelming attendance of liberals at #NoKings events a day later.

They are trying to have the very limited qualification—"subject to the jurisdiction thereof" which was always understood to apply to an extremely small number of people (children of foreign diplomats, for example)—swallow the entirety of the clause.

Dejoy staged the changes he enacted - so now that he's gone, we're seeing the worst of the damage he inflicted. This is political and people who care should be contacting their folks in Congress and demanding restoration of our once-great postal system.

Thanks to Trump's attacks on federal research funding, the National Cancer Institute hasn't made a single grant this fiscal year. Just last month, Trump issued an EO to increase production of glyphosate, a chemical linked to cancer. "Make America Healthy Again."

NEWS: Democrat Shawn Harris has forced a runoff in the special election for Marjorie Taylor Greene’s deep-red Georgia seat (Trump +37). With ~70% in, Harris leads with 38.3% to Trump-endorsed Republican Clay Fuller’s 34.5%. Runoff set for April 7. A major warning sign for MAGA.

at last, we have invented retrophenology from the classic Discworld text Don’t Invent Retrophenology
Retrophrenology:
It works like this. Phrenology, as everyone knows, is a way of reading someone's character, aptitude and abilities by examining the bumps and hollows on their head. Therefore - according to the kind of logical thinking that characterizes the Ankh-Morpork mind - it should be possible to mould someone's character by giving them carefully graded bumps in all the right places. You can go into a shop and order an artistic temperament with a tendency to introspection and a side order of hysteria. What you actually get is hit on the head with a selection of different size mallets, but it creates employment and keeps the money in circulation, and that's the main thing.
