Is the sky falling, or do I need to visit the optometrist? I think maybe both.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

If you are only beginning to worry now, you are part of the problem. The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The best time to stop Hitler was in 1923. The best time to stop Trump was 2016. Now the professors are leaving. Soon, the stampede. Moving to Canada? Might not be safe much longer.

When scholars of authoritarianism and fascism leave U.S. universities because of the deteriorating political situation here, we should really worry.

“Of course one of the big risks is not underpayment or overpayment per se but [it’s also] not paying someone at all and not knowing about it. The invisible errors and omissions,” an SSA technologist tells WIRED.

Sometimes you just have to ask—why? The Senate voted to strike down a rule capping most bank overdraft fees at $5, a measure introduced by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that was expected to save Americans billions each year.

They are arresting people on the streets, terminating their visas, and disappearing them for writing things they disagree with. This is where we are. Two months in. Right now. If you think they won’t begin coming after citizens soon, you are mistaken.

In the Neverending Story, a world is being destroyed by a mindless force of destruction and the leaders are just standing around waiting for a hero to find one person who can mildly flex their imagination. It seems quite applicable to our current situation!

If I could speak to the heads of big law firms, I would ask: Is the risk of losing some clients worth betraying your oath to the rule of law?
To everyone nodding but refusing to take a stand, I say: You are ignoring Martin Niemöller’s message. It is you that Martin Luther King Jr. was condemning.

Montana used to be a purple state. Trump and his people have given us the opportunity to reestablish equilibrium. Those who dare visit may get a lot of sideways looks, but they won't get booed for showing up, and some people will listen to them.

Use Trump's lies. Use his betrayals. He and his cronies are trying to flip the system on its head; we should aim to flip it sideways. The people in my community would love AOC, Buttigieg, and Sanders if they had different names and wore Carhartts.

We need someone to start running for president NOW. Better yet: multiple candidates who are perceived as unaligned. Barnstorm the whole darn country, and make it clear that cultural issues are on hold. Our country's survival is at stake. Mark Cuban, etc...?
