I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

Checking my bank account every day for a deposit from the government since I've been hearing about all the money they've been saving lately. Nothing yet but it's probably coming soon

Yes. But they are missing that much of this has to be performative. That’s what Trump is great at and Dems are awful at. You can’t just tell voters , you have to know how to sell voters. Trump gives sales pitches, Dems show charts. One goes viral. The other is ignored and forgotten

Elon should go asap and figure out what’s going on.

This is classic authoritarian language from the Trump White House: “Every action of the Trump-Vance administration is completely lawful. Any legal challenge is nothing more than an attempt to undermine the will of the American people.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/u...

This energy.

“…you must be aware that it is not a crime for anyone — whether WIRED journalists, X posters, or otherwise — to identify individuals openly conducting government work that is of the utmost public concern.”

I closed my Amazon account and will not be going back regardless of what happens with the US. If I can't get it locally, I will do without 🙂

Hey wait a minute. I just realized there's like a million of us and only like four of them...

Though the Justice Dept has deleted information about its Jan 6 prosecutions from its website, a federal judge has issued an order listing and chronicling all of the cases and prison terms Here: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

🏆 Governor Pritzker- Illinois - has signed an order prohibiting all J6 rioters from state employment.

yyyyyeah maybe we shouldn’t just “relax”

I appreciate why those appalled by the attack on Congress January 6, 2021, emphasize the violence against police that day. Trump supporters and fellow-travelers will concede that violence against police is wrong - even if they hedge with many "what abouts?" 1/x

CNN reports that the January 6 criminals have been told they are invited to attend inaugural balls tonight. They are going to be released from the D.C. jail momentarily. All are insurrectionists. We are not a democracy anymore, folks. We do not have rule of law.

I love this so much! At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions. This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.
