"I'm costing the United States Trillions of Dollars with shockingly bad decisions that are of such magnitude that it won’t be easily possible for our Country to recover or heal.” Correct translation of a recent post!

I also want to add that every single time ICE has physically hurt me, they have grabbed me by my chest. Most of my femme friends have said the same. I will not be surprised if / when we find out about twisted sexual assaults conducted by ICE agents with these gloves.

"SpaceX is not a company. It is a bolted-together wealth-extraction vehicle. The company’s growth plans rest on “unproven technologies or technologies that do not exist.” In other words, made-up technologies generated made-up growth projections to create the world’s first trillionaire.” Naomi Klein.

Educators in Finland teach students how to spot fake news. It’s part of an effort to teach Finns to think critically, in hopes of strengthening Finland’s democracy and protecting the country from misinformation. Are you listening, America?

To understand fascist Leader Lord Dampnut's quip about Jeanine Pirro "folding like an umbrella" one must appreciate that for a grifter the issue is not truth, fact, law, justice, that sort of thing, it's how long one can keep the grift going, how committed one is to the con.

Good writing Michael. My worry is: who will enforce the seating of the new Congress when MAGA tries to stop it by screaming election fraud? (Besides the worry of Trump committing some truly horrendous war crime just prior to the elections and cancelling them).

I worry that most cynical among us, hopped up on 30 years of law and order rhetoric, will say "this is the system working: he didn't do anything wrong and now he's free." As if the terror and wide-scale publicity of an arrest and federal prosecution is not a horrible punishment in and of itself.
