BTW the people who spent the last few years advocating for Palestine were clearly 100% right that normalizing war crimes and genocide there would just increase the likelihood of inhumane actions elsewhere. Just saying.

I know I'm far from the first to post this, but: man, the burning gall of paying one's taxes today, after being openly told exactly what kind of sicko genocidal schemes they will be used to fund. Really? You want me to tally up what I owe you right now?

What's really trippy is that my high school headmaster was #DonaldBarr, now infamous for his relationship with Epstein. Weird and trippy when I recall encounters with him. (He had been fired by the parents of St David's in Manhattan and ended upriver at my prep school. Guess they forgot to vet him.

Rob Reiner was one of the key people behind the effort to go to court to overturn California's anti-marriage equality Proposition 8 when it passed in 2008. Working with Chad Griffin, they founded the American Foundation for Equal Rights and got Ted Olson and David Boies to team up to fight Prop 8.

Here's a problem: the new housing that's being built in Berkeley is still atrociously expensive, to rent and certainly to buy. Funding is such that developers and operators are finding it difficult to pencil out so that folks with "normal" incomes can afford it.

Remember: Trump’s administration deported 3.13 million people during his first term. In comparison, Obama deported 3.16 million, while Biden deported 4.44 million individuals in 2021 and 2022.

people vote their values, not their material interest. and conservative values of deference to the wealthy, refusing assistance to the poor, refusal to invest in public good naturally demand the destruction of their own poorer communities.

Over the past 60 years, consider all of the assassinations in the US of those politicians and social movement leaders. Then consider that almost all of those killed were left leaning leaders challenging the conservative order run by the rich and corporations.

For nearly a decade, since Election Day 2016, the media and politicians have had a choice: Recognize that we were in a crisis like no other in our lifetimes, or pretend that we aren't. Nearly all politicians, and too many in the media, have chosen the latter.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.
Graphs showing 25 years of budgets for the National Institute of Health, NASA, and the NSF. In all cases, the proposed budget for next year is far, far below any year of the previous quarter century.
