From now to January 3rd (and beyond?) will be a helluva ride.

Good news: somebody has now flagged all those Putin troll-bots. They're going to have to start all over from scratch. * except maybe in Muskville

Seems relevant to me that the new White House press secretary, who supposed to convey accurate information, believes that elites in the Democratic Party and Hollywood are sexually trafficking kids and eating people. 24 hours later, it hasn’t made it into mainstream coverage of Zacharia.

Katie Zacharia, who was appointed White House press secretary by President Trump on Friday, repeatedly promoted the debunked Pizzagate conspiracy on social media, accusing elites from the Democratic P...

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

We urgently need a federal privacy law to protect our privacy from big tech companies who spy on us on our phones and social media, to protect us from Flock cameras that are being improperly accessed by folks who are using that information to target innocent people.

In fairness, 'artificial' intelligence vaguely implies the people making it aren't responsible for the harms. *Stupid* intelligence is much better for connecting the dots between the stupid, sociopathic, grifting corporate cultures that put safety last and greed first.

Ilhan Omar came to the US when she was 13. Trump's goons are now trying to find mistakes her dad made in their immigration paperwork in an apparent attempt to denaturalize her. Her dad died of COVID over six years ago. These people are monsters with no boundaries. They must end up in jail.

Trump just straight up lied about a Russia-Ukraine ceasefire in order to manipulate oil markets, which in previous years would be a presidency ending scandal but in 2026 is simply known as Sunday.

Sexual assault is so common that I have to assume any man who complains about it or blames victims is guilty of it. Anyone who uses one false accusation to question us. Anyone who asks why she didn't report or requires a criminal conviction. I just assume you're guilty.

Trump's tirade against Zelenskyy and Ukraine may be shocking for some people, but unsurprising to anyone who grew up around a malignant narcissist. When you combine malignant narcissism with desperation, you get results like this. A complete inability to see past the immediate gaping maw of need.

It's important to understand that Trump is a narcissist, he's desperate to hold onto power, and right now he thinks that the biggest threat to his power comes from high diesel prices. So the morality of his entire world now centers around who he blames for high diesel prices.

Putin told Iran the locations of our warships. Today, Trump rewarded him by lifting sanctions and allowing American dollars to fuel Russia’s war machine. Our troops are in harm’s way, and the President cut a deal with the adversary putting a target on their backs.
