To all GOP officials,
If you are not denouncing his racist and disgusting post, you are condoning it.
Through his words and actions, he has literally given hundreds of exit points.
If the Epstein files don’t matter to you, if this racist post doesn’t matter to you, where do you draw the line?

Idk who needs to hear this but generally being complicit in fascism by looking away—is not looked on in history kindly. If you cannot meet the moment right now, know that your loved ones will never forgive you for your complicit beliefs and values. You will be damned in the annals of history.

My cat is antifascist.
She cries out to get her needs met.
She teaches me to rest, even when it may be inconvenient to power structures.
She creates toys out of preexisting items.
1/30, in solidarity with Minnesota, let’s be like cats today as much as we can afford to.

Abolish ICE is the moderate position FYI.
You can’t reform a group that murders, violently assaults—sexually or otherwise, kidnaps children, human traffics, tortures, and commits other crimes against humanity.
Prosecute ICE is the actual energy we need.

Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

The government is saying that violence rules. That snatching foreign leaders and territories, and shooting US citizens in their cars at point blank range, is justified. That resistance is not only futile, it is dangerous. They can say these things. But they cannot force us to believe them.

So much for the Trump administration's alleged concern abt antisemitism. New Coast Guard (under DHS) policy now says swastikas and nooses are no longer considered hate symbols but just "potentially divisive." Coast Guard/DHS Officials refuse to respond.

Paradox of automation
edit
The paradox of automation says that the more efficient the automated system, the more crucial the human contribution of the operators. Humans are less involved, but their involvement becomes more critical. Lisanne Bainbridge, a cognitive psychologist, identified these issues notably in her widely cited paper "Ironies of Automation."[49] If an automated system has an error, it will multiply that error until it is fixed or shut down. This is where human operators come in.[50] A fatal example of this was Air France Flight 447, where a failure of automation put the pilots into a manual situation they were not prepared for.[51]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:byjjq67p7iau6qufzjmizpbn/bafkreie4ootzzyowpylsxjg7gxsp63iujxh4qceuuxxhwm63yrm2qffa4e@jpeg)

Trump obviously is in the Epstein files. “Spent time with victim for hours” “knew what was going on”. Obviously, he is guilty regardless of your politics.
But also, Trump was deemed guilty of rape and SA. If you needed Epstein files to believe he is a rapist, then you are an SA apologist.

I realized that it is actually way cheaper to take Amtrak on the west coast than it is to drive that distance and park in most metro downtowns. With potential airspace shutdowns, I highly recommend checking trains out in your region.

That is MASSIVELY important to look at and run on.

For those of us not on EBT, we may not have heard about the crisis at foot. Even after the judge’s ruling, EBT benefits will be delayed—I have been told by folks in my community that Nov, it is not being given out. Your community support likely will make major differences.
