Democrats should run ads just of Miller ranting. The screeching voice, the sneering face, even the awkward jerking of his body — it’s like a car alarm took human form. A Tesla alarm, I guess, given the Nazi stuff

Autism is genetic, runs in families, and is a natural & healthy part of human neurodiversity. There is no “epidemic”. The numbers of young ppl identified as Autistic has increased with the active efforts to identify Autistic children younger … it’s a phenomenon called #AutismAwareness.

The government’s statement is a flex, not a confession of error. The important elements of the flex are these: 1. We send enemies to brutal foreign labor camps. 2. We decide who enemies are. 3. We may decide you are an enemy based on a secret informant, or our view of your tattoos. /1

The government taking $80MM of previously disbursed AND SPENT funds out of New York City's bank account was reported back in February. I realized I forgot about this shocking episode, which is a fucking shock in itself. Unfortunately, Nathan's reporting on this is still vitally important.

"I devoted so much time to this story because of the full implications it immediately brings to mind to any payments system expert. This is not simply about FEMA’s actions towards the city of New York’s bank accounts or even about large scale payments system level impoundment. This story is about the truly electrifying and terrifying question: can the Trump administration arbitrarily take money from anyone for any reason using control of the payments system? If it can’t, what exactly are the current limits to what the Trump administration can do and how easy is it to break those limits?"

"That is all a long and exhaustive way of saying that the Automated Clearing House (ACH) payment system is one of the foundational building blocks of all payments made in our society. Nearly every payment you make is either an ACH payment or it relies indirectly on accurate and timely ACH payments. Furthermore, any institution you rely on directly or indirectly relies on accurate and timely ACH payments to function properly. If the reliability of Automatic Clearing House payments were to be permanently or indefinitely degraded in a crucial manner, it would fundamentally threaten your access to basic social services, and even privately produced and distributed goods and services. To explain why, we have to understand a fundamental, yet neglected, area of law called “payment finality”."

Why did Trump have himself put in charge of the Kennedy Center? Because he knows that the educated and cultured people who patronize it despise him. So he seeks revenge. And he knows that his being in charge of the center will destroy it.

And there it is. (via: popular.info/p/trump-main...)

Text reading: The Trump administration is still prohibiting National Institutes of Health (NIH) staff from issuing virtually all grant funding, an NIH official tells Popular Information. The ongoing funding freeze is also reflected in internal correspondence reviewed by Popular Information and was reiterated to staff in a meeting on Monday. The funding freeze at NIH violates two federal court injunctions, two legal experts said.
