Most Americans agree we need to get money out of politics. If that takes a constitutional amendment, then that's what we have to do. And if that's going to take years, then it's all the more reason to begin pushing now.

Things are still down, but trending upwards. The #NoKings marches were a huge success, Russia's economy is literally on fire, and the infection control leaders who blew off scientists in the infamous "very big mistake" and botched COVID are about to fall off the last line of the narcissist's prayer.

The Narcissist's Prayer

That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that's not a big deal.
And if it is, that's not my fault.
And if it was, I didn't mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.

This got missed in all the happy protest posting yesterday, but the NYT continues to do revelatory work on the life and career of Jeffrey Epstein. Here’s another very, very wealthy man giving E lots of money for services of uncertain value. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/b...

The UK fired their ambassador to the US over his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein. Meanwhile, Epstein’s best friend remains the President of the United States.

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 28/08/2025

According to federal data, 13 of the top 20 cities in homicide rates have Republican governors. None of those cities are Chicago. 8 of the top 10 states in homicide rates are led by Republicans. None of those states are Illinois. And yet Trump is sending troops here.

Post from Donald Trump on Truth Social:

A really deadly weekend in Chicago. 6 dead, 27 hurt in crime sprees all over the city. Panic stricken Governor Pritzker says that crime is under control, when in fact it is just the opposite. He is an incompetent governor who should call me for help. Mayor Johnson is no better. Make Chicago great again!

I would concur except…if red state govs want the show of force to intimidate their resident noncitizens, and any non-maga, non-white, non-LGBTQ, non-conservative Christian people. That may mean targeting some of their own large cities. Red states can have blue pockets, often in their major cities.

mickeyfinn123.bsky.social @mickeyfinn123.bsky.social · 17/08/2025

Starting with DC, Trump clearly plans to numb Americans into accepting the use of US military on US soil broadly. Red states are sending their NG to DC. Red state Govs will facilitate, not fight Trump’s insertion of NG into their cities. The authoritarian in chief’s tentacles are spreading.

What Moran reported was demonstrable fact. Indisputable fact. Yet they suspend him. This is the advantage that Trump and his ilk have. They are so beyond the moral pale, so beyond normality, that it is considered impolite, impolitic, or intemperate to describe them as they are.

Murphy is still getting a paycheck as a lawmaker, so what does he care if the already very spotty HC availability, especially for rural poor, gets far worse? Shameful. It won’t be him that takes the hit. Lost in his vote is that he was trained as a healthCARE provider. First do no harm, right?

They are “thinning the herd.” Let the most vulnerable (especially kids, who cannot vote) be exposed to the deadly full force of covid. Seniors over 65 vote, receive Medicare and can make life hard for elected Republicans. They are cowardly monsters. And I am a senior with preconditions.

Under 65 years old? No Novovax COVID vaccine for you this year. As expected, the Republicans have enabled RFK Jr. and his coterie of antivax grifters to take away your right to make your own medical decisions in consultation with your doctor. Gift Link: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/17/h...

The new restriction will sharply limit access to the Novavax vaccine for people under 65 who are in good health. It may leave Americans who do not have underlying conditions at risk if a more virulent version of the coronavirus were to emerge. It could also limit options for people who want the vaccine for a wide array of reasons, including to protect a vulnerable loved one.

Yet again Andreessen conflates being censored with being called an asshole.

“People during 2020 felt that there was a monoculture on social media, and if they didn’t agree with something, group chats became a safe space to debate that, share that, build consensus, feel that you’re not alone,” said Erik Torenberg, an entrepreneur who was the first employee of the tech community hub Product Hunt. As Krishnan was setting up a set of tech group WhatsApp chats at a16z, Torenberg independently founded a group of tech chats on WhatsApp and some more political Signal chats.

“They’re having all the private conversations because they weren’t allowed to have the public conversations,” Andreessen told Torenberg on a recent podcast, after joking in the name of secrecy that he’d never heard of such groups. “If it wasn’t for the censorship all of these conversations would have happened in public, which would have been much better.”

So many in right leaning tech culture, very wealthy and mostly male in their “safe place” group chats. Do they ever test themselves and their decisions for evidence of group think? If no one ever tells you no… you may well presume all of your ideas are the only right ideas. Scary arrogance.
