Trump administration is planning on shrinking many Southern California national monuments, opening national forests to logging, implementing new oil rigs off Santa Barbara, and cutting funding to SoCal National Parks.

Fuck these ghouls.

Holy shit. Trump’s solution to the crisis in Gaza is for the US to evict all the Palestinians and turn Gaza into the “Riviera of the Middle East?” This deranged asshole is out of his mind.

I absolutely love that the Germans are mobilizing against fascism in these massive demonstrations. Please, continue to show the current American administration where they are going wrong, because the American public (of which I am part) seems entirely incapable of doing the job.

If you’re a business leader and you contribute to Trump (or cause your business to do so), I WILL boycott your company. Amazon has been replaced by Costco. Instagram —> 500px. OpenAI —> Anthropic.

I believe and hope other progressives will do the same.

Some philosophical debates seem focused solely on how we should use words. For example, what counts as art, or whether social groups are real things. Can anyone explain why these debates are worth having?

Hints on how to stay informed about and prepared to oppose the big stuff while not obsessively following the day-to-day horrors certain to accompany the incoming administration? Asking for a myself.

Has anyone considered we might all be starring in a dark comedy film? Would explain a lot.

This might be the most heroic act I’ve ever heard of.
