Rudyj (Pan’ko) fell from 6th floor to 1st floor roof. Shattered jaw. Not sure why I’m sharing this since I don’t really know anyone on Bsky. But since I’ve sworn off other social media I can only post him here. Hopefully he will be back to terrorizing our other cats relatively soon.

When Trump admin officials get asked why a certain sector of the economy is so bad, 90% of the time their answers begin with “we inherited.” Did everyone forget what Biden inherited in Jan 2021? Or what Obama inherited in Jan 2009? When are Republicans ever responsible?

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."
John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry began on this day in 1859.

This is the kind of thing you do if you don't care about government revenues (read: deficits) but you do want an excuse to put a lot of non-English speakers in jail.
Exclusive: Trump administration officials are considering eliminating multi-language services at the IRS, according to records obtained by The Post, a move that would make it dramatically more difficult for non-English-speakers to file their taxes.

The IRS launched its own tax filing program that allowed taxpayers to file taxes for free.
Tax prep companies like Intuit lobbied for years to stop the IRS from doing this.
Intuit donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration. Now Trump is gutting the program.

Why? Because if Trump can legally say “We can’t bring him home” without having to prove it, that means he doesn’t have to bring anyone home. And if he doesn’t have to bring anyone home, he can send anyone there forever. END/

”white supremacist book purge” is exactly right. it goes along with the segregationist purge of the service academies.
Some horrifying details on the white supremacist book purge at the Naval Academy library:

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.
The Bureau of Prisons is moving forward with plans to move transgender inmates out of prisons that align with their gender identity and into facilities that align with their assigned sex at birth.
Federal prisons prep to move trans inmates as early as next week
