Since trump’s re-election a year ago, warnings that his use of the presidency to advance his personal interests is corroding American democracy have grown ever louder.

#TheTrumpCrimeFamily is currently operating a corruption system for their own benefit.

This week saw an excellent talk on Moonlit monuments by Carolyn Kennett for #Cornwall Archaeological Society (CAS) about the role moonlight might have played in their materials and use. Immediately I thought Duloe circle. Not in moonlight but sunset certainly elevates the quartz #StandingStoneSunday

The concepts of honor and humanity are what Trump and Hegseth are really at war with.
"The DOD Manual is clear because the law here is clear: 'Persons who have been incapacitated by . . . shipwreck are in a helpless state, and it would be dishonorable and inhumane to make them the object of attack.'"

A Scottish one as it's St Andrew's Day: Baliscate stone row above Tobermory on Mull. There's a path of oyster shells leading up to the field of the stones – very nice. #StandingStoneSunday

Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

The soon to be trillionaires need to start contributing to the universal basic income.

Congress needs to pass a new tax law just for that.

Trump’s administration wants to ban states from regulating AI—a massive giveaway to Big Tech.

This could prevent basic safeguards like protecting children online, combating deepfakes, addressing data center impacts, safeguarding workers, and more.
From Steve Bannon to Elizabeth Warren, bipartisan backlash erupts over push to block states from regulating AI
Sharp critiques of efforts to limit state AI laws have MAGA populists and progressive advocates joining forces in an unexpected coalition.

Basically, make a point of trying to help other people. It's good for you. Also, universal basic income will mean more people being free to volunteer and afford to.
A study found that volunteering slows down aging in retirees: the DNA of people who volunteered the equivalent of one to four hours a week showed distinctive biomarkers associated with decelerated epigenetic aging, with the most pronounced effects among retired people.
