Thanks to Marvel, I'm ready for this Musk/Trump feud

The premise behind arguments I have seen is that victims don't get due process. This was also the premise behind the stunt in the WH briefing room this past week. This premise is collective punishment for being an existential threat, the same premise behind genocides and other mass atrocities.

Having diplomatic relations with countries in Africa is "waste, fraud, and abuse." But tell me more how they aren't racist.

"Come back when you're ready for peace" is how one talks to an adversary when winning a war, not to an ally that needs out help from an unjust invasion.

The use of language: they are calling spending that they don't agree with "corruption", they call giving info access to a billionaire who cherry picks data and makes up conspiracy stories about them "transparency" and they call the rule of law a "coup"

Possible unexpected side effect of Citizens United: if corporations are people and money is speech, Trump can't penalize (through say punitive endowment taxes) private entities from supporting DEI without violating free speech.

The Germans have a word for what we are seeing: gleichschaltung.

2/2 This combination, called stagflation, is extremely difficult to get out of. Last time we experienced this was in the 70s and early 80s, and it was an economic catastrophe that is severely understated in our understanding of economic history.

1/2 Trump's tariff and immigration policies are going to lead to high inflation while what he is doing to the federal government (and fund recipients) is going to lead to high employment and low economic growth.

Anybody know how the federal agency spending moratorium is impacting the math institutes and their programming?

I would also like to challenge their accusations of antisemitism and contextualize the use of Marxism as a framework in academic research.

The point is harassment- make them shell out law and PR firm fees and tie up their time. Since we have laws against tortious interference with contracts, maybe we can make laws against tortious interference of the 1st Amendment (or human rights more generally)

I'm sure when the writers of the second Captain America movie had Steve Rogers say "no polio is good" they thought it would be uncontraversial.

Why are we only going after cabinet pics one at a time? We should be flooding the zone!

Read as much as I could before paywall hit. Of note: supposedly the intention is to condemn those who were traiters and collaborators with Nazis, but Stalin labeled anyone captured by the Germans to be traitors and collaborators.

Oooh lucky you! A Great Spotted Woodpecker just landed in your feed. 😍

A striking Great Spotted Woodpecker perches on the rough bark of a pine tree, its bold black and white plumage standing out against the muted background. The bright red feathers beneath its tail add a vibrant pop of colour. Its posture exudes alertness and curiosity, perfectly capturing the essence of this iconic woodland resident.

Anyone else afraid that Trump saw what happened in S. Korea and thought "I could pull that off "?

Hi guys, my name’s Stacy Cay. I’m a transgender comedian and I really don’t like Trump or Elon or any of his fans. I’m trying to use bluesky more because I can’t stand the right wing propaganda machine anymore. Can you please repost to help me find my friends? 🥺

Agree. And get a bunch of executive orders ready to protect as much as possible from Trump, but don't sign or issue them or announce them until the morning if 1/20. That will cost Trump a bunch of time and court battles to remove them before he can start tearing things down.

victorpiercey.bsky.social @victorpiercey.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

My half baked belief about the difference is the fragmentation of news media- starting with Fox News and talk radio and leading to social media especially but not limited to Musk turning Twitter into a propaganda machine.

Or... he also pardons himself forcing Trump to make an argument on court that a President can't pardon themselves.

Can someone please go back in time and prevent Putin from giving Trump the sports almanac?

victorpiercey.bsky.social @victorpiercey.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

He should issue a ton more pardons for protection from the coming vengeance.

Looks like a great, important, and timely talk! I've been thinking about Plato's critique of democracy and predictions of how it falls, and I'm curious about how industrialization would fit in.
