It’s incredible how much our culture, from music to art to publishing to journalism, is saturated with people who had wealthy parents who supplemented their income as neoliberalism flatlined wages and cost of living priced others out and who had their careers artificially boosted in the online era.

A gigantic record-breaking heat dome is baking the US and war is skyrocketing fuel prices and the cost of living. If only scientists and climate activists had warned us…. Oh wait they did.

If you’re not fully dissociating living in the US right now is just walking from one crazy scene after another with people having breakdowns as the veneer of normality just melts. It’s like Mad Max right before everybody moved to the desert and started modding cars.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens. Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

The financial economy is immersed in the kind of wild gambling we saw leading up to the 2008 financial crisis. We’re seeing it all over again — this time with crypto, meme stocks, junk bonds, and investors pumping up shares of AI stocks without knowing what it is. Be warned.

Harvard can't use someone's race to decide if they are going to be a student, but ICE can use a student's race to decide if they are going to detain/incarcerate them. According to the Supreme Court, race can only be a factor if you want hurt, not help, someone.

Your 'moment of kakistocracy' for today: "Trump on Thursday signed a presidential memorandum withdrawing the U.S. government from a Dec. 14, 2023 agreement to help restore salmon, steelhead and other native fish being decimated by federal hydroelectric dams in the Columbia River Basin."

In an order Thursday, Trump said he is withdrawing the U.S. from a 2023 deal made with tribes, states, to end lawsuits over fish losses.

The Big Fucked Up Bill, is NOT a spending bill. It’s a government restructuring bill, that consolidates power in the executive, defunds critical services to the point of absurdity, removes the power of our courts to enforce the law and dramatically curtails voting rights. It’s Project 2025

It really feels like we don’t talk enough about how much COVID has fucked up our politics, our culture, and all of us personally. It’s not surprising considering how absolutely averse this country is to confronting trauma, but sometimes it still needs to be said.

Part of the bill that Republicans jammed through includes something you may have missed: Defunding Planned Parenthood. There's nothing "pro-life" about defunding breast exams, pregnancy tests, prenatal care, and so much more. Over 1 million women could lose access to care.

The wealthy folks supporting Republicans don’t like the ACA because as long as we can purchase our own health insurance, we don’t have to work their shitty jobs just to keep health insurance. They need us desperate enough to work for any wage under any condition.

We're potentially on the verge of an economic collapse that will make the great recession look like a picnic. The AI bubble popping along with restrictive tariffs, massive cuts to the federal government, and a grossly incompetent president will ensure we repeat the great depression.

The image is a line chart titled "Fears of an erratic US government have skyrocketed." It shows the "US economic policy uncertainty index" from the year 2000 to 2024. The vertical axis represents the index values, ranging from 0 to 700, while the horizontal axis represents the years. The chart illustrates sharp spikes during key economic and political events, with significant peaks around the 2008 financial crisis, 2020 (likely due to the pandemic), and a sharp increase in 2024. The data source is Fred Economic Data.

the Trump administration is dominated by two antidemocratic camps. one wants a theocracy (Project 2025). the other wants to carve the US into fiefdoms (see: techno-feudalism). Vance is the bridge between the two.

The US government is a Jenga tower and right now the Trump admin is pulling out every piece and one will cause a complex system collapse. We won't know what precisely will do it but something will and it'll cause a collapse. I think a lot of things we think matter won't by the end of the year.

Last year was likely the hottest year in the last 120,000+ years on this planet. Human civilization has never existed in conditions like these, and the f&%kery is just getting started. The tragedy is not the loss of human civilization, it's what humans are doing to everything else.

Is societal collapse inevitable? ‘At the end of the day, we have to radically transform society, and we have to do it fast’. Sadly atm we are doing very little to transform. This needs to change. Our current political systems are not fit for our purpose of survival #climatechange #collapse

There are so many good people in this country that I'd like to think that the people here would never let atrocities like what happened in World War 2 occur in the United States. But then a majority of Americans support the mass deportations including 25% of Democrats (Scripps News/Ipsos poll).
