I can think of few things that are more likely to lead to a political awakening of "WTF!!" among the politically disengaged than destroying our National Parks system. A lot of average people have a lot of memories and a lot of dreams connected with trips to visit these special places.

From thuggish tactics used to maintain control, to crony appointments undermining the rule of law, Trump’s brand of politics mirrors the worst of fascism. As we watch, it’s clear: We can’t ignore these parallels to past dictatorships.

DeSantis is an incompetent hack.

Nice Theresa is not lending a hand to anyone that fell down kicking someone else. Too few characters here for my style. Looking for somewhere to write to share from besides FB. Suggestions? www.facebook.com/share/p/15FM...

Well I know what I’ll be found this afternoon.

Oh yes, they took second jobs simply because the jobs are available. WaPo gets more inaccurate every day. "A growing number of Americans have second jobs and side hustles. Why? A strong labor market has made job opportunities more plentiful..." www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

The extent of the losses were glossed over in the US media I have seen this morning. This makes it clearer www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Please read and widely share HCR to learn details of the Trump administration's conflict with Colombia over deportation, which mainstream media has failed to report accurately and completely. heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/january-27...

Specialized surveillance companies contract with school boards to oversee compliance with new restricted curricula. $15 million in Florida alone.

Florida to spend up to $15 million on school material surveillance for DeSantis laws. Um, maybe instead of facilitating the McCarthyism of curriculum, how about PAYING TEACHERS what they are worth FFS? #BecauseFlorida #Floriduh www.tallahassee.com/story/news/p... via @tdonline

Luigi got them shook.

Abusers always say, "They made me do it"

We tried to warn them.

The "lung float" test is being used to charge women with murder. Many experts say it's unreliable. “There’s no way you can determine live birth versus stillbirth with this test," said one doctor, who called the test “an outrageous breach of science.” ➡️ Follow @deldeib.bsky.social (Pub. Oct. 2023)

Our democracy is being systematically eroded at the state level too. This reads like some kind of nasty apocalyptic fiction. Take the time to work your way through it. Want to make it clearer? Read it with the voice of a WWII newsreel narrator.

As pressure has increased for the state to allow bear hunting for the first time in nearly a decade, #Florida wildlife officials will get an update next week on the state’s black bear management plan. www.wmnf.org/florida-wild...

Oh myyy. Nick Fuentes was just arrested for battery. He apparently maced a woman who had knocked on his door.

Not sure this will pass, but we need to monitor.

That community note though. Pot something something kettle.

A reminder as the gifting holidays near

My dad thinks computers should apportion the districts within a grid, eliminating the bizarre districts drawn to include and exclude soecific addresses.

Last year, Trump’s FBI Director was selling magic pills which would supposedly cleanse your body of the Covid vaccine to “reverse the vaxx” if you ever had one. A complete scam.

Of course, it was just a "glitch", and not part of the systemic destruction of social supports in Florida, because the optics would be bad if people realized it was happening.
