The Trump Administration continues to f**k up every area of our lives that might make us smarter. Their biggest fear is that we think for ourselves rather than to fall under their spell.

Also this #Purple Beetle in my neighborhood that makes me happy whenever I see it. Last week I saw it on a tow truck and thought maybe that was the last of it, but it was back yesterday. #AColorADayPril #MlevelPhotos

As MAGA voters wept over their 401Ks this week, Trump was too busy golfing to even notice.

RFK Jr. is not only a former 14 year heroine addict, a sexual abuser, a brain home for a parasitic worm, bear dumper, sociopath, he also is Secretary of Health and Human Services. We are now seeing the effects of his deranged "leadership", and people are starting to die.

Trump has set a precedent for ignoring due process to the people he has named as criminals. His day will come and I can’t wait to see him beg for his freedom.

These tariffs are a Trump tax. Instead of putting a stop to them, Congressional Republicans are rolling out the red carpet for more.

Trump: Gutting National Parks—And Hiding the Evidence

National parks hit 331M visits, but Trump officials don’t want you to know. A leaked memo bans the Park Service from promoting the numbers—while firing rangers, closing visitor centers, and cutting safety.

This won’t go well—we love our parks.

Analysis: Yesterday's White House meeting, depending on your stance, was either a display of harsh truths or a monstrous display of hubris and arrogance, writes BBC's Jeremy Bowen

All of the normal people say: it was a monstrous display of hubris and arrogance.

It's always been the case that "buying" an ebook from amazon was only actually a loan they could rescind at any point, but lately Amazon have gone harder on this, and it is 100% so that they can wipe banned books from your libraries without your consent.

Buy direct from authors. Get your files.

from “Parable of the Talents” by Octavia Butler
From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

AUSA Hagan Scotten, former clerk for John Roberts, really put some mustard on his resignation letter.
BY EMAIL Re: United States v. Eric Adams, 24 Cr. 556 (DEH) Mr. Bove, I have received correspondence indicating that I refused your order to move to dismiss the indictment against Eric Adams without prejudice, subject to certain conditions, including the express possibility of reinstatement of the indictment. That is not exactly correct. The U.S. Attorney, Danielle R. Sassoon, never asked me to file such a motion, and I therefore never had an opportunity to refuse. But I am entirely in agreement with her decision not to do so, for the reasons stated in her February 12, 2025 letter to the Attorney General. In short, the first justification for the motion-that Damian Williams's role in the case somehow tainted a valid indictment supported by ample evidence, and pursued under four different U.S. attorneys is so weak as to be transparently pretextual. The second justification is worse. No system of ordered liberty can allow the Government to use the carrot of dismissing charges, or the stick of threatening to bring them again, to induce an elected official to support its policy objectives. There is a tradition in public service of resigning in a last-ditch effort to head off a serious mistake. Some will view the mistake you are committing here in the light of their generally negative views of the new Administration. I do not share those views. I can even understand how a Chief Executive whose background is in business and politics might see the contemplated dismissal-with-leverage as a good, if distasteful, deal. But any assistant U.S. attorney would know much i i red oril, in this ily. wing the perset arthro he Reside is ving to, give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me. Please consider this my resignation. It has been an honor to serve as a prosecutor in the Southern District of New York. Yours truly, Hagan Scotten Assistant United States Att…

Just received a ridiculous email reply to my complaint to NCs 6th District Rep, Addison McDowell. I can’t copy and paste here but it is the typical “I’m sucking up to Trump and Musk and you don’t understand how they’re going to fix America.”
