I was wondering if the demolition of our historic White House is still underway … it seems to be. Then I looked up the architect who had the audacity to destroy a national monument and he is a professor at Catholic University in DC.

JD Vance’s racist rant about Indigenous American history is part of a long tradition of psyops designed to continue the imperial conquest of native cultures. It’s dangerous and fuels more stochastic terrorism. They want to drill oil in sacred places like Chaco Canyon. That’s why he is doing it.

In @annaleen.bsky.social book Stories Are Weapons we learn that these “personality” tests are made by companies like Cambridge Analytics with the express goal of profiling people to manipulate them in some very specific nefarious ways. Really these tests are not innocent. Her book is great. Read it!

I’m driving across the country through red states, about 1500 miles. On a similar route last summer, it was peppered with Trump flags. This time I have seen one Trump sign and one flag in tatters. Over the summer I saw maybe 200 Trump bumper stickers. This time: one. He really has lost his base.

I would look instead to the millions of people who vote with their wallets and don’t shop Target anymore. We remember last June when Target “cancelled” pride celebrations and merchandise and caved immediately to the DEI fear mongering.
Target said it doesn’t think holiday sales will be enough to turn around a tough year.

I cringe to agree with MTG but I will never forget @repstansbury.bsky.social telling me she was actually a very normal person when not on TV or stumping for Piggy.
