Trump and Stephen Miller are actually failing in crucial ways. Deportations are lagging behind their goals, courts are mostly functioning, and their fascist, ethnonationalist cruelties have unleashed a countermobilization of unexpected scope and power.

View from Gaviota State Park Hollister Ranch Rd, looking East towards the Gaviota pier & then Goleta & Santa Barbara beyond. Jan 1, 2026.

Look at all the mud in the ocean from recent rain runoff. We've already gotten our avg rainfall for the rain season (which starts 9/1): 18.5"

So reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) can't fly, but they are VERY MAGICAL.

For example, their EYES CHANGE COLOR during the year & they're one of the few large mammals that can see UV. Golden brown in summer, deep blue in winter.

Let's talk about the unique visual adaptations of Rudolph and company.

George Takei citing the Streisand Effect is a wonderful present to me this holiday season.
They are about to understand the Streisand Effect: the more you try to hide something from the public, the bigger the story gets.

"Why is any of this okay with so many of those who once claimed to be free-speech champions or absolutists? Because, quite obviously, they were not."

I endorse. And admittedly feel some frustration it seems @adamserwer.bsky.social and others do too, having seen through this crowd clearly for years.
The “free speech” and “cancel culture” panics have led to overt state censorship because that was always their purpose. (Gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Trump's healthcare plan: Just ask insurance companies to lower their premiums by 600%.
LOL -- Trump announces that his new healthcare plan, which he says was inspired by watching the pharma CEOs kiss his ass, is simply asking the healthcare companies to lower their prices
