This has been their aim all along, and SCOTUS’s decision ending federal agency Chevron deference opened the door to this. Pay. Attention.

Screenshot of post from Sen. Schumer states, “The appeals court decision striking down Net Neutrality gives a green light to big internet service providers to gouge consumers and jack up their monthly bills.”

Important. They used this same argument to round up Japanese Americans after Pearl Harbor using the military and to force us from our homes and into internment camps. Never again.

A screenshot of an X post by Chris Murphy. The post reads: "In the coming days, watch for autocracy-fetishizing MAGA figures who call on Trump to use 'emergency powers' or 'domestic war powers' (i.e. some form of martial law) to confront domestic terrorism. They aren't out to destroy terrorists. They're out to destroy the rule of law."

I wrote about how the Trumplican court attack on net neutrality is about way more than just "net neutrality" It's about completely dismantling whatever's left of already feckless U.S. corporate oversight and consumer protection

Trumplican 6th Circuit Just Killed Net Neutrality (And Whatever Was Left Of Pathetic U.S. Broadband Consumer Protection)

The telecom industry (with the help of the recent Trump Supreme Court), has been drooling for months at the prospect that the Trump-stocked courts would soon finally deliver the killing blow to FCC…

Copied (with permission) from a discworld group I’m in if anyone can help even if it’s just a share

Hogfather million to one chance search

Hi everyone, this is a huge longshot but wondering if any of you lovely folk might be able to help. My partner just told me that her dad (who sadly died more than 20 years ago) gave her a hardback copy of Hogfather, but it got lost in one of her moves not long after he died.

I doubt we'd ever find it, but it would be an amazing New Year miracle if we could discover it and I could buy it back if it's still out there. It's signed in the front cover "To Anthea" and probably says from Dad or similar.

Like I say, it's a million to one chance...

Thanks for reading.

Trump’s team claimed that their tax cuts would boost household income by $4,000. But research shows that the lowest paid workers saw no change in earnings. Meanwhile, exec salaries increased sharply. Trump and Republicans want to double down on yet another trickle-down scam.

There's a very interesting SF novel by Harry Turtledove, Guns of the South, about white 20th century South Africans time-traveling to Civil War America to help out "guess which side" with weapons & tech. No idea what's made me think of that.

To see who they value, pay attention to their words. School massacres are labeled "mass shootings. Street executions are described as "officer-involved shootings." But the killing of a CEO is immediately called "terrorism."

🚨🚨🚨 Last night, Sen. Mike Lee wrote a blueprint for destroying Social Security. Lee’s thread was quickly amplified by Elon Musk, who Donald Trump has put in charge of slashing our earned benefits. This is a declaration of war against seniors, people with disabilities, and the American public.

Elon Musk tweets "interesting thread" in response to Mike Lee calling to privatize Social Security.
