‘Sure, he all but destroyed the USA, and f*cked up its economy while raking in billions for his own family but now that the armrests at the Kennedy Center will be just like the ones in Caligula’s sh*tter I’m ready to talk third term? Am I right, MAGA?’

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

This story is insane, but the moral appears to be don’t fuck with @dfriedman.bsky.social.
Books about “Asian wife sharing.” Detailed descriptions of orgies. Scenes involving “ladyboys.”

That’s what @dfriedman.bsky.social discovered on a Goodreads page tied to the email address of a top Pentagon official and mentor to Pete Hegseth.

What came next was even wilder.
I asked the Pentagon about Pete Hegseth's mentor. Then the threats started.
Journalism in the second Trump administration gets personal.

Multiple U.S. citizens have been arrested during ICE operations.

The forcefulness, lack of communication, and unlawful practices displayed by federal agents will not be tolerated in Minnesota.

Federal agents are arresting American citizens.

This isn’t about public safety - it’s about stoking fear.

“She has marks on her neck and wrist from where agents restrained her. Agents cut off her wedding ring and held her in leg shackles at Whipple Federal Building for about five hours.”

I highly recommend checking out Science and Futurism with Isaac Arthur, he’s got a fantastic, accessible breakdown of the theory and the logistics behind it. It’s one of those ideas that makes you realize how small our current imagination of “renewable energy” really is.

General strike or nothing. Short of a hero moment the only thing we have is our bodies.

Don't go to work and see if they suddenly care.

Hint: they will care immediately.

NEW from me:

Several CBS News staffers and insiders told me that the network "is not a good place now" amid the imminent arrival of Bari Weiss as editor-in-chief, who one source likened to Michael Scott of The Office based on her lack of qualifications.
