History buffs will know that every authoritarian leader eventually converges on some version of: "I *am* the state. I can not break the law, I am the law, the law is instantiated in me."

Our march to authoritarianism so far has been excruciatingly by-the-book. Hitting every beat. No surprises.

With the White House blocking media that doesn’t comply with its narrative, we assume this is why these protests are being ignored.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

Welp, there goes my mental health, ability to focus at work, and (part of the treatment for my binge-eating disorder.

The United States is so fucked.

We’ve become used to right wingers throwing tantrums every time black people are on tv in something everyone is watching (the olympics, superbowl, ect) but it’s actually fucking weird and we shouldn’t act like that’s a normal reaction

BREAKING: Donald trump is actually doing something GREAT, promising to crack down on overdraft fees and to BLOCK medical debt from being listed on credit reports! WOW!!!

LOL, just kidding. Actually, President Biden did all that stuff to help Americans, and trump wants to reverse it.

Fucking idiot.

Oh, and please don't tell me that it was a Roman salute. smdh.

Kendrick Lamar is a pulitzer prize-winning lyricist.

If you have never done a deep dive into his music, listened to and read the lyrics at the same time, if you can't understand that his 'beef' with Drake is about a lot more than who is the better rapper, then please educate yourself.

Good morning and Happy Saturday to everyone who is sick of stupid trumpers cheering every idiotic move made by trump, thinking that it ONLY hurts liberals.

You stupid MAGA jackasses, what he does negatively affects AMERICA, and that includes YOUR dumb asses too.

Go ahead, ring that bell.

THIS is my Sentiment

Many scientific workgroups across CDC have been suspended until they are “realigned” with the Jim Crow mandate.

This includes data science and programming workgroups. 👀

I saw this somewhere, and it resonated with me:
Stop using acronyms. Stop saying you disagree with DEI. Say, "I disagree with Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion."
Say it with your whole chest. Out loud. Bonus points, if you tell us which part is just too much jelly for your PBJ sandwich.

For all the unfair characterizations of women as being subpar “DEI” hires, most of the BEST managers I've ever reported to were women.

I can think of TWO highly-qualified Women in particular who aren't convicted felons who would be a TRILLION times better than the buzzard in the Oval Office.

REPEAT AFTER ME:

NOBODY VOTED FOR ELON MUSK

PASS IT ON.

Well, if it isn't the consequences of actions not my own.

The biggest lesson the US is going to have to learn is that nobody is coming to help, this is a lesson every country in the world has learned. This is your fight. Every country you know will continue to make deals with Trump, unless you put up mass resistance and show the world you do not consent.
