On this Harvest Moon…

"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

There are despicable, evil people in this world, but none are as atrocious as this hideous cretin.

From the Trump Resistance Movement:

STEPHEN MILLER IS AN UN-AMERICAN
POLITICAL EXTREMIST.

HE IS ONE OF THE GREATEST DOMESTIC
ENEMIES OF THE UNITED STATES
CONSTITUTION IN THE HISTORY OF THE REPUBLIC.

HE IS AN ARCHITECT OF THE LIES,
INCITEMENTS AND PROPAGANDA THAT LED TO AN ARMED ASSAULT ON THE US CAPITOL.

HE IS DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR FOMENTING A COLD CIVIL WAR IN THIS
COUNTRY.

HE DESERVES YOUR DEEPEST CONTEMPT
AND SCORN.

~ STEVE SCHMIDT

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

IRS has 100,000 employees, a budget of 20B and collects 5T in taxes per year.

SS Admin employees about 60K, has a budget of 15B, revenues of 1.5T, and dispersed about 1.5T.

So far: Staff and SSA location cuts; largest breach of personal data; mislead shareholders re profits.

What could wrong?

Social Security chief Frank Bisignano also named CEO of the IRS

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Bisignano will continue to lead the Social Security Administration while also taking on the new IRS role.

Schumer: I want to say to Donald Trump, to Johnson, and to Thune: come to the Capitol, sit down in public, and debate us on the health care crisis that’s afflicting Americans.

The public needs to see this.

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

From the Editorial Board:

Neuroscientists have found that when people read, their brains don’t just process words — they simulate the story world.
By contrast, social media rarely demands such deep simulation.

Editorial: A society that stops reading stops thinking

Daily reading for pleasure in the U.S. has fallen more than 40% over the past 20 years — roughly 3% per year, according to researchers at the University of Florida and University College London.

Some drones have sensors that can do facial recognition from five miles away; sensors that measure body temperature changes when someone is escalating; expression detection; a high powered machine that can measure what you had for breakfast and what chemicals are circulating in your bloodstream.

The Gaza Aid Flotilla has been

Heavily armed commandos boarded the ships and arrested the passengers.

Greta Thunberg and the other protesters will be deported.

Genocide is a war crime.

Protesting genocide is an act of heroism.
