this is actually, historically, the definition of a country most likely
to do this to itself.
if your biggest export is money the whole world becomes abstraction, and an insufficiently supported and educated populace will almost inevitably lose touch with reality in only a few generations.

I’m not saying everyone needs to do *this*.
But @booker.senate.gov figured out the biggest best thing HE could do right now. And then he did it.

that Noem video reinforces my belief that there is a streak of sexualized sadism on the US right that goes back to lynching imagery but began in its most recent form with the enthusiasm for torture during the Bush years.

New @motherjones.com—some news you may have missed: The Senate last night confirmed Trump’s anti-abortion pick to lead the FDA
In the role, Martin Makary will wield immense power to help facilitate anti-abortion efforts to roll back access to abortion pills:

The Justice Department says Trump derives his authority to deport migrants without due process from “Article II and the mandate of the electorate,” so it has no obligation to provide further details of the operation to Boasberg.
“Trump won the election so everything he does is legal,” in DOJ speak.

Haven’t even read the piece but this simple point is 100% right. And not simply as branding. America has a robust civic democratic tradition, rich w libertarian (and not in the modern weird sense) symbols and touchstones, anti-autocratic totems. It’s the touchstone of the country’s civic mythology.
Been doing a lot of reading and thinking lately and based on everything I've looked at this logic is where I'm at with things. The movement back towards sanity should be wrapped in the flag. 🇺🇸

I am tracking 3 separate cases where the government is violating court orders. The question now is whether judges find willfulness and hold officials in contempt.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.
Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

X.com is the meaningful target. Tesla direct action is a good project and warm up, but X.com is where his personality cult pivots. He's also using it as a financial lever, his past debt being sold to investors as he is currently raising more funds on inflated valuations.
