Okay, this is right up there with the hysterical saga from Shiv Ramdas about the rice Scary while it was happening, I'm sure, but...what a crazy thing

I'm hearing much of the same from a dear friend in Minneapolis also.

I have taken the freedom of speech that was in the Constitution and which you were probably using for peaceful protest Forgive me the courts said they were so agitating and so irritating

Hegseth hasn't even lasted two Trusses yet, but I think he'll be gone in less than a Scaramucci. Break out the lettuce!

The elderly, ailing pope rallies sufficiently to be released from the hospital and make a final appearance on Easter before dying the following day. Clearly, to some extent, we are able to choose the time of our passing. May he rest in peace, and may the words of his final speech ring in our ears.

The tariffs are catastrophic. But so too are the abuses of power, so is the corruption, so are the police state tactics, so is the destruction of our health care infrastructure, so are the ways our national security is being endangered, so are the attacks on our core freedoms.

Today, two Spanish-speaking immigrants are working on our landscaping. Our new stove was dropped off by another two. And I spoke to yet another on the phone to get a construction estimate. So many lovely, hardworking people. I hate that we are making life harder and scarier for them.

Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or [cont]

Having watched with growing alarm the developments of the last 24 and 36 hours in Washington, I thought I’d take a stab at how the US media would cover this story if it was happening in a foreign country. Here’s that story that should be written this weekend: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...

Musk's Junta Establishes Him as Head of Government

Imagining how we'd cover overseas what's happening to the U.S. right now

First they came for the trans people, and I did not speak out— Because I was not trans. Then they came for the immigrants, and I did not speak out— Because I was not an immigrant. Then they came for the minorities... You all know how the story ends.

Yes! More of this! And follow it up with real action if the executive branch does not comply!

TikTok ban. Impoundment Act. Emoluments Clause. Laws regarding Inspectors General. Laws concerning firing people from the National Labor Relations Board. The administration is violating the law at every turn. Congress' power is becoming more diluted by the moment. Call your representatives! Now!

Now this is what I call not obeying in advance. Today I am extra proud to be an Episcopalian.

Oh yay yay yay, there is a way to avoid that stupid Google AI bot that is always at the top of the search results (and gives a ton of wrong answers!): just add -ai to the search string! HT to Sterling!

Trump is trying to take credit for the Israel/Hamas ceasefire. That's BS, of course; it's the Biden administration that has been in there negotiating for months. BUT Trump's claim greatly ups the chances of ceasefire success...because now its failure would be Trump's failure.

Nice depiction of the desire to destroy other cultures. (Very tastefully timely, too, given the shootout of the Azeri flight.) Culture war is a useful political tool, and not just in the US.

I'm pretty infectious-disease-savvy, but I learned some interesting things about poliovirus from this thread.

Some people feel like the risks of vaccines don't outweigh the benefits. They feel safer choosing not to vaccinate because so many of the rest of us ARE vaccinated and thus they remain unlikely to get a terrible disease. Their ignorance is profoundly dangerous to us all.

Yep. We're about to ditch WaPo, as well. Already support NPR. Planning on supporting AP, Guardian, and ProPublica. Any other suggestions for support-worthy news organizations?

If you need to gird yourself for battle with an insurance company, here you go. Good ol' USA, land of the "free to deny your care", home of the "brave because we have to fight like hell to get for-profit insurance companies that make billions off of our health problems to cover our care".

I don't know who needs to know this, but Pro Publica has an online thing that will format a letter to your US health insurance company to demand the records behind a claim denial. (which the insurance is then legally required to provide in most cases) projects.propublica.org/claimfile/
