Illness is a favorite weapon of fascists. It’s a method of control, via death of undesirable groups, disability and subsequent ableism, illness and subsequent poverty and classism, &c. Get vaccinated. Wear an n95 for viruses, smoke, &c. This is how to resist their agenda. Give/get mask mutual aid:

Man comes to the US from Lebanon. Starts out delivering pizzas, becomes a Nobel winning neuroscientist. Trump freezes his funding, he gets an email from China offering to move his lab “any city, any university I want" with guaranteed funding for 20 years. What are we doing?

“A deputy U.S. marshal was mistakenly detained by ICE Agents inside the federal building that houses Tucson's immigration court, U.S. Marshals Service officials confirmed on Thursday.” You know why? He’s is Latino. They grabbed him because he looked like an immigrant and for no other reason.

Multiple large accounts today have posted “the girls are fighting” or something similar. Carol nails it. That’s not what’s happened. These are dysregulated megalomaniacs, and it’s insulting to compare girls to them. Also, using girls as an insult is misogynistic. Please stop doing that!

Elon Musk getting in a little snit and threatening to pull the rockets essential to supplying the humans on the International Space Station is why the government should NOT award him critical contracts, like SpaceLink proving Internet access in war/disasters.

The consequences that befall Musk now that he's attacked Trump publicly will be a measure of how well the US fits the competitive authoritarian model. The more severe, the better the fit. I despise Musk, but for the sake of US democracy, I hope his punishment doesn't violate the rule of law.
