It's not that I'm easily distracted; it's just that I'm fascinated by everything. Currently reading about the Neolithic -- next month it'll be something else. Unschooler Emeritus

I missed the corruption angle of this at the time (bailing out banks and financiers who owned failing warehouses by buying them at elevated prices)

Saw an old interview with Frank Herbert who said “I don’t think that the old saw about power corrupting and absolute power corrupting absolutely is accurate. I think power attracts the corruptible” and, yeah, that.

To be clear, Kansas Republicans rushed through a confusing and disastrous bill, created a panic, and wasted untold number of tax dollars all to target 300 out of the nearly 3 million people in the state.

Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible “America at 250!” achievement

I'm in Tarrant Co. and so proud of all of us right now! Taylor Rehmet is a direct result of the Run for Something campaign. Allison Campolo, who currently chairs the Dem party in Tarrant, has been a force of nature. Good stuff is happening. 🌊

We live in a world where a convicted child rapist and sex trafficker is treated better in prison than the children who’ve been detained by ICE. Ghislaine Maxwell gets to be in a cushy minimum security facility … 5 year old Liam Ramos is locked up in a camp where kids are screaming “let us out”.

Right. The first thing learned when my spouse and I started dating was the difference between a song and a tune, and when NEVER to utter the word "song." A tune can be an air or a reel or any of a handful of other things, but never a song, unless there are voiced lyrics.

It's all so "she made me do it" blaming the victim, and this iteration closely echoes a previous admin. one. Rhetoric justifies bloodshed in this frame, and his rhetoric uses the passive tense/vagueness to avoid saying 'we will shed blood.'

It's weird how after every good thing/gain (even if we don't call it a victory) people circle up to insist we shouldn't celebrate. Celebrating is not how people give up, in my experience; believing we can't win, never win, and have no power is (with a side of joylessness).

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

I’m seeing enough people talking about the impracticality of “mass deportation”—tens of millions of people!—that I feel the need to point out that the numbers are a bit of a red herring here. What Trump et al. are signaling with the word “mass” isn’t scale; it’s arbitrariness.

If you want there to be F&SF fiction mags, we need to do something now, while Amazon is removing their support. Check out one mag's website today and support them, if you have the means. Or just RT this if you can't, because the situation is pretty dire.

It's a looming crisis that the coverage of race between Biden and Trump barely ever hits on the immutable fact that only the current POTUS actually understands what the job entails. In the four years in office Trump never grasped the job beyond the demands of an insatiable press gaggle.
