Breaking quorum is no more an outre political power play than designing an extreme partisan gerrymander in the first place.

Abbott and Paxton are not inherently in a stronger legal position here.

It’s a political fight using the tools at hand.

Another massive source of Trumpist corruption. Trump cronies in private-prison industry given tons of money to lock people up. Incarceration state with big payoffs for insiders. Most disturbing news today. Possibly.

Ridiculous normalization of Trump when everything is broken.

This article about Dr Luke Kemp gives a way to look at the current world situation outside the framework of power politics and propaganda. It’s not about left vs right. More about egalitarianism vs zero-sum competition for resources. Very useful and important.

Architectural atrocity plopped into a space where it doesn’t and cannot fit, with absolutely no consideration for surrounding public environment. A desecration of the People’s House. Any “architect” involved with such a travesty must be permanently banned from the profession and laughed out of town.

“History is best told as a story of organised crime,” Kemp says. “It is one group creating a monopoly on resources through the use of violence over a certain territory and population.”

Fortunately we still have equalitarian voices. Not L vs R. Equalitarian.

Trump is currently the number one threat to life on earth.

Any hope of sustainability is pushed back by decades.

OK that sounds way too pessimistic.

We’ve got to resist and fight back any way we can. No one outside MAGA actually likes Trump. His stupid policy failures will be impossible to hide.

What Trump means by “Make America Great Again” is that he runs everything and demands obedience from all. (Don’t give it!)

And he’s stupid, corrupt, immoral, and doesn’t give a f*ck about the destruction he launches. Not even aware.

Yeah I know it’s been said over and over but I’m saying it again.

I’ve been in and out of hospitals for the last two months and would like to comment on the “DEI” scam. Specifically I’d like to comment on the role of Black Americans in keeping the system up and running. This is NOT another bullshit “I’m surprised by Black competence” post. As a jazz musician +

Trump expands from flooding the zone with bullshit to FLOODING THE ZONE with Roberts-Court-endorsed and Congress-endorsed power grabs. Very quickly Trump is moving to be the BOSS OF EVERYTHING—education, healthcare, independent agencies, etc. Authoritarian grabs.

I’ve been in and out of hospitals for the last 2 mos, so have some anecdotal observations to share:

First, the system is way understaffed, and Trump admin is making it worse.

The staff — mostly excellent but overworked — includes a lot of minority Americans and immigrants (probably documented),+
