Another day of reminding everyone of Carl Sagan’s eerily accurate warning about the dangers of not being able to ask skeptical scientific questions to those in power or authority.

“What Do J.D. Vance, Dimes Square, and the Art World Have in Common? More than You Think…” Not so long ago, Peter Thiel “was reported to be courting influence among a nebulous art-adjacent constellation of downtown NY creative types.” 8/29/24 1/ www.artnews.com/art-news/new...

What Do J.D. Vance, Dimes Square, and the Art World Have in Common? More than You Think
Vice Presidential-hopeful J.D. Vance is part of a new, internet-fueled conservative movement led by billionaire Peter Thiel.

Mueller found that trump had obstructed justice multiple times, and the impeachment trial in the senate was full of disingenuous and disgusting nonsense spread by his lawyers, whose expertise is obstruction of justice for hire by the oligarchy.

Lithuanian president & people paid their respects to 4 American servicemen who died during training exercise. When the soldier’s remains arrived at Dover Air force Base, no US president was there to honor them on behalf of a grateful nation. Trump was golfing & will dine with rich Saudis

It's not money they want because you can't buy slaves with money in a functional democracy. They want EVERYONE to be so broke and without support that theyll do anything for a bite to eat or to stay out of prison.

It's what they've always fantasized about doing but never thought they could actually get away with. When certain people talk about "freedom" they mean their own freedom to inflict criminal suffering and abuse on others without consequences. Justice may be blind but that sword of hers will swing

Every officer involved in these grabs knows what they are doing is illegal. It is absolutely essential that they be criminally prosecuted once possible, in order to restore basic rule of law. The correct response to an order you know to be unlawful is to refuse it and resign if necessary.

They're doing this on purpose. Snatch people off the streets and then try to move them to another state as quickly as possible so a judge in their home state has no time to tell them they can't. It's a disgusting flaunting of accountability and due process.

I sometimes struggle to describe the radical shift in what’s happening given that, in fact, a lot of the shitty things happening are extensions of things that were long happening to certain groups of people.

It's clear that the Trump administration denied due process to the migrants it banished to El Salvador *precisely because* any measure of judicial oversight would've proved their innocence immediately. Deported, imprisoned, and condemned to hard labor—for a soccer tattoo. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Steve Bannon has claimed that he’s the guy who “headed up” the “Peter Thiel deconstruct the administrative state part” of Trump’s 2016 transition team and that Thiel protege Blake Masters was his (Bannon’s) “wingman” in that endeavor. (It appears that Thiel has been pulling strings all along.) 1/

"Mobilize your alumni networks. Enlist families whose children's lives have been saved in your hospitals; reach out to companies that have commercialized your research, make contact with universities in red and blue states, public and private, who face the same threat. Do it fast." /2
A
college president phoned me the other day to ask for advice. He sounded worried. His institution is facing devastating cuts to federal research funding that helps his university maintain a great medical school and pathbreaking science labs. Faced with such a threat, he wanted to know what he could learn from my time as president of Central European University when Hungary's prime minister, Viktor Orbán, tried to expel us from Budapest.
CEU, a U.S.-accredited graduate school in the humanities and social sciences, was founded by George Soros and a group of dissident Hungarian academics back in 1991. For 25 years, CEU stayed out of politics, trained graduate students, and earned a reputation as a serious scholarly institution.
Then in late 2016, right after Donald Trump's first election victory, Orbán attacked. There is a certain kind of populist politician who needs enemies to give someone his base can hate. Orbán chose Soros.
In the election campaign from late 2016 to the spring of 20

ICE agents are torturing a green card holder from New Hampshire, his mother says www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2025...
A New Hampshire man with a green card was detained by immigration officers at Logan Airport and is being held by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the Donald W. Wyatt detention facility in Central Falls, Rhode Island.

Fabian Schmidt’s family said they are unsure of why he is being held. They said he has a recently renewed green card, and no active issues in court.

Schmidt had been visiting Luxembourg and flew back to the U.S. on Friday. His partner had gone to pick him up at Logan Airport, and waited four hours before calling authorities.

“It was just said that his green card was flagged,” said Astrid Senior, his mother. She said she didn’t hear from her son directly until Tuesday, when she learned he’d been hospitalized.

Senior described Schmidt being “violently interrogated” at Logan Airport for hours, and being stripped naked, put in a cold shower by two officials, and being put back onto a chair.

She said Schmidt told her immigration agents pressured him to give up his green card. She said he was placed on a mat in a bright room with other people at the airport, with little food or water, suffered sleep deprivation, and was denied access to his medication for anxiety and depression.
