A reminder tonight that Venezuela has nothing to do with fentanyl. The vast majority of the fentanyl supply begins as precursor chemicals in China, is manufactured in Mexico, and makes it to the U.S. by land, mostly smuggled by U.S. citizens hiding it within lawful trade and traffic at entry points.

I think the fundamental gap here is that non-creative people think that creative people make things for the end product, when in fact it’s the act of creation and not the end point that makes it worthwhile.

This is great because it demonstrates that transphobes actually do know that gender has nothing to do with anatomy or genetics. These are gingerbread men despite having no penis or testicles, and DNA that is mostly butter.

Yesterday, the Deportation Data Project posted new FOIA data on ICE arrests through October 15 and it’s staggering how much it instantly disproves every claim the Trump admin has made about targeting “criminals” during its splashy arrest operations.
Here’s arrests in Illinois since April.

$6.25B is a lot of money. It’s also only 4.1% of the $152B Michael Dell has hoarded. If Dell paid the 37% tax rate on the wealthy he'd pay $56.25B—and still have nearly $100B, more than he'd ever need

This is a long-to-medium-term worry, but I think the fact that we've all just internalized that immeasurably powerful people often just throw tantrums and you shouldn't take anything they say seriously is going to be catastrophic for American civic governance going forward indefinitely.
sort of underlining how dysfunctional and unfocused the administration is, the president tweets out a deadly serious allegation of sedition and calls for hanging sitting senators and the DOJ’s official course of action is to do nothing, no one’s in charge
“Oh damn, the president ordered the murder of his political opponents” is super bad and to a large extent so is “nobody under him lifted one single finger toward that goal” because who is exercising the power of the presidency at that point?
