This article as someone with a christian upbringing is amazing. It's basically going down the end times prophecies one by one and pointing out Trump fills every single one. www.benjaminlcorey.com/could-americ...

@kenwhite.bsky.social How come people aren't freaking the fuck out about the proto-proscription list published? Zero pushback means they will take it further. www.whitehouse.gov/articles/202...

Democrats should demand any spending resolution also have a rider to release the Epstein files.

How long before Trump deploys the National Guard to Utah?

Dear @awscloud.bsky.social what is the point of requiring me to log in to the aws console with the user and pass, then again with the passkey?

In the shower I had a brain zap. Post Bruen, we're left in basically right and definitions of words locked to c 1791.

you’re so close

No lies told here.

The hell you can, fuckface

Much of the regulations at USDA have been removed; consume anything at your own risk.

@elienyc.bsky.social Wtf? I had no idea Alito was made a foreign noble. How is he not DQd? How did he not get impeached even once since then? Is our representatives completely useless?

@joncooper-us.bsky.social Ran the numbers. Alligator Alcatraz hits dangerous temps daily in July & Aug. Used Miami Int’l +3°F for inland swamp heat—high humidity, no wind. At 80°F WB, even unknown health issues can trigger sudden death.

It's called [moving hands around] Stagflation. Ok? When I heard that I said wow, what a word. You have stag and flation and they're coming together like you've never seen. But we'll be eating beautiful toothpaste sandwiches and our teeth will be stronger than perhaps ever before

A use for AI. My fat black blob of a cat figured out that he just needs to go to his skinny brothers feeder and just hold it open when he walks away and then he can eat all of his food. The solution: AI that shoots the fat black blob whenever it gets too close with a water hose.

This will have to count as my Supreme Court term review. I make that point that there's no point in reviewing what the Supreme Court has done because the rule of law is dead in this country anyway. My latest in @thenation.com

NC Const. A1S2-3: the people have the sole and exclusive power to alter/abolish the Constitution. A1S36: that power can’t be impaired. A2 only governs the legislature. Direct democracy isn’t barred. Why are we letting the GA gatekeep amendments?

@marcelias.bsky.social I’ve been digging into the NC Constitution and found language that might directly enable the people (not the legislature) to amend it. Do you know anyone who could sanity-check this?

#Citi customer: if you have authorized users, go check your records. Citi has scrubbed all historical data! You can no longer see which cardholder made which transaction. This is a massive violation. Support can’t fix it, but you can file a CFPB complaint for TILA / Reg Z / destruction of records.

Trump: ‘We Could Argue All Day About Who Is Or Isn’t A Child Rapist’

Anyone else ever try to open a jar so hard your skin tears? My ink well got stuck, ice and near boiling water didn’t work. Soaking upside down in water didn’t. Trying to force it through brute force didn’t. Probably out 25ml of ink and a really nice jar.

Years ago, I named a certain type of smirk "white man's war face" because the term seemed kitschy and I am Gen X and we Gen Xers live for that shit. I now call that little smile an "einsatzgruppen," named for the Nazi death squads that executed unarmed civilians. #ICE #Authors

I love Mr Mystal. He is magical with words. (Link referenced in screenshot www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202... )

How come no one has put signs over the Alligator Alcatraz signs to make it say Alligator Auschwitz?

@kenwhite.bsky.social Serious question: Why don’t pro-democracy circuit or appellate judges just ignore SCOTUS? They have equal Article III power, and SCOTUS can’t enforce anything without taking cert. Let them try to uphold their lawless rulings every time.

The dictionary has spoken.

Dark money “Think Tanks”

If the EU & other democracies don’t contain authoritarianism now via sanctions, trade embargoes, and internal crackdowns on anti-democratic actors they’ll import what America has become. Trumpism is a contagion, not a spectacle. Quarantine it before it spreads.

And people told me I was overreacting in comparing the concentration camp to Auschwitz. They're not being subtle about what they want to do

I think most people severely underestimated how much fascism and kleptocracy would triumph through the surrender and default of forces that should have opposed it.

Breaking: The US lost 33,000 jobs in June. They were expecting to *gain* 100,000.

OMG! My aunt Delores just forwarded me a Zohran Mamdani tweet from April 14, 1865 gloating about Abraham Lincoln’s assassination. Why aren’t people talking about this???

@vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu Genuine question: The EU isn't NATO and can act on its own. Why hasn't it mobilized to defend UA directly? It's clearly in the EU's own strategic interest. This would also get the EUs domestic arms manufacturing going before RU invades the rest of Europe. Why wait?

@elienyc.bsky.social Your article on 'Trump v. CASA' missed something. Doesn’t this apply to ALL Trump’s EOs? Every right’s now up for grabs. Some states might sue, some won’t. It’s a total ratfuck. You can’t even tell what rights you have from state to state. 1/

Really excited to see my and @ardenthistorian.bsky.social 's pieces on the nerdy fascism of Palantir up @religiondispatches.org -- give it a read, those people are weird and awful. religiondispatches.org/fool-of-a-to...

Accurate

NOT A SINGLE SENATOR should vote to confirm Emil Bove for the 3d Circuit Court of Appeals.

Lol. So the jump in stock price from TSLA announcing their robotaxis has been completely reversed! Even the fan boys realize it’s a giant flaming turd.
