The meatpacking industry is highly concentrated, with the top five producers distributing 85% of beef solid. The ICE raid in Omaha targeted a relatively small player in the industry. You can connect the dots.

It looks like #NoKings in Minnesota had to be canceled because of the terrorist assassinations there. I guess we’ll have to have the whole country come out in solidarity next weekend.

So tedious is this day
As is the night before some festival
To an impatient child that hath new robes
And may not wear them.

Growing up listen to NPR didn’t make me a “woke radical left liberal”, but listening to it when my dad drove me to the bus for school did foster in me a curiosity about what’s going on in our country & world in a way that no other media has. We need to protect public media.

Vance apparently said in 2019 that those on “the left” have “all read Carl Schmitt—there’s no law, there’s just power,” and implies that the left believes in that as a political philosophy. I did read Carl Schmitt and I do refer to him. But I only think his writings reveal what the right believes.

I never want to read aNOTHER headline that claims someone “SLAMS” someone else IN criticizing them. If the person in question bodyslams someone else, then report that. Otherwise, STFU. No one uses it that way in everyday language.

The way people accept the bald faced lies and distortions of this admin is disheartening. Also, that people act like patriots and wave the flag but don’t know the Constitution well enough to know that Bill of Rights grants rights to persons, not citizens. People have those rights, not just citizens

I’m still of the opinion that Hegel gets a bad rap. I don’t think “Sittlichkeit” means sitting on your hands while the world falls apart, either.

Interestingly, this is a big reason why the Trans-Pacific Partnership failed… because we want the whole world to enshittify their systems/laws/policies that make medicine affordable for their people as opposed to unaffordable for many of ours.
This is outfuckingrageous
Big Pharma & #RapistTrump to punish Australia for cheaper medicines! They're coming for our PBS!!!
PBS helps reduce cost of 930 diff medicines!
Pharmaceutical products are the third-biggest category in Australia’s exports to US, after beef & gold.

Language used by individuals associated with the federal government who deported people without trial or due process to a concentration camp in El Salvador, defying a court order, has a specific resonance that, historically, has been used to change regime type.

The new party should be called the Good Dogs Party. Everyone loves dogs. When they disappoint you and you get mad at them, they are genuinely sorry. They truly love you even though they also love the food. They’d die for you and would never run from you or those who cause harm to you.

How to make a kleptocracy:
1. Say the Treasury will hold junk coins (or any crypto)
2. Scrap recent anti-laundering measures that make LLCs list beneficial owners
3. Sell passports for 5 mil
4. Fire half the IRS
5. Sell the government’s prime real estate
