In other words, they're coming to gut the trucking industry. The goal appears to be to grind the economy to an absolute stop.
Kristi Noem: "Putting these foreigners in tracker trailers like the ones you see behind me becomes extremely dangerous. I have driven semis over many many years and 18 wheelers and understand they're difficult to stop, maneuver."
I wonder what is the threshold of lead consumption that reaches these levels of cognitive dissonance.

I always get drawn back to Al Gore telling voters that he’d only raise taxes on the top 1% and then after the election a poll showed that something like 20% of voters thought they were in the top 1% and another 20% thought they would be in the next five years. Just a total tragic disconnect.
Maaaaan, this. So much this. Every time there's any kind of actual in-depth survey we find that the American people are *abysmally* ignorant about even the most basic political facts, but the pundit class just immediately forgets & proceeds with political analysis based on subtle policy differences.
Feels like so many of our convos are revolving about how voters respond to what politicians are doing, or what parties’ positions on issues are, without much actual empirical sense of what they actually know about those topics.

A long-deranged and deeply depraved man with a pronouncedly and acceleratingly deteriorating mind announces that he intends to play with the large arsenal of nuclear weapons he controls.

But it's okay, because he's not seeking a third term.

"'Germany Is Back' – and That Should Scare Us All"

In its crackdown on pro-Palestine speech, Germany has normalized racism and state violence, reminding us this really is the country of the 1920s, again, writes James Jackson for Zeteo:

In its crackdown on pro-Palestine speech, Germany has normalized racism and state violence in a way that goes beyond any conflict abroad, reminding us this really is the country of the 1920s, again.

This is not good.
NBC has a story on this as well already, and they've got an indicative quote as to how things will go:

"'The mentality is CBP does what they’re told, and the administration thinks ICE isn’t getting the job done,;' one of the DHS officials said. 'So CBP will do it." www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...
Trump plans to install Border Patrol officials to lead a more aggressive migrant crackdown
The White House has approved a list of ICE leaders to be replaced by Border Patrol officials in coming days amid disappointment with arrest numbers.

Okay, yeah. We already know and have recognized it and educated ourselves and our communities. What's the action that we can take?

Voters really don't like inflation, and frankly everything else is secondary to that.

My closing pitch to voters? “I will only live in this awful place if I rule over it”
Jan 6th happened largely in part due to Steve Bannon. This country would be better off if we were to listen to what he is saying, take him seriously, and prosecute him to the full extent of the law for treason.

This is what the Democrats have been raising hell about.
Well, Fam, just found out our health insurance is jumping from $1700 to over $3000 a month. And we still have to wait till Nov 1 to see more options—when the site will probably crash because everyone will be freaking out at the same time.

I really think that we need to talk more about the fact that Republicans have basically quietly abolished the House of Representatives

It's official: Trump is insane

All these events he claims happened in 2020 - when none of these people were in any position of power and when Trump, not Biden, was president

There are no documents, just the things Crazy Trump hallucinates
Oh, he's not autistic. Autistic people are intelligent and see patterns and picked up on how horrible he is long before most other people did.

That's part of why he hates autistic people so much.
Schultz also said that he saw nothing and knew nothing about the actions of the Allies.
Johnson claims that he knows nothing about what his own fascist party leaders are doing.

The academic publishing industry is an oligopoly, an inefficient market. Oligopoly actors force us to buy a long list of crap so we can read the dozen journals we want. Anti-trust action would be rational. Let's hope at least that exploitative bundle deals are refused. We can walk away!
'New proposals by Elsevier, Springer Nature, Taylor & Francis, Wiley and Sage were sent to universities this week after their initial offers were decisively rejected by institutions in a sector-wide consultation run by Jisc,...negotiating jointly with Universities UK on behalf of universities.' 1/3
New offers from big five ‘still too costly’ for UK universities
‘Significant’ number of institutions predicted to drop deals with main scholarly imprints, leaving journal access much reduced

FYI :“Destruction of federal property is a federal crime. 18 U.S. Code § 1361 defines the crime as willfully injuring or committing any depredation against U.S. government property. If the damage exceeds $1k it is a felony with a fine, up to ten years in prison or both.”

Awaiting law enforcement.
