1/7 “The most dangerous creation of any society is the man who has nothing to lose” Winding down final week of Black History Month Day 23, James Baldwin 1924-1987) African-American writer and civil rights activist who garnered acclaim for his essays, novels, plays, and poems.

Good. Fucking. GOD. I've met this asshole. WAY worse.

At least the weather here isn't my imagination. Coldest/snowiest in a number of years. Failing to clear the driveway has had long-term consequences, but I got almost all the ice up for the majority of the path from street to garage and I didn't slip, so go me. We're expecting rain Monday. Yay.

1/8 Frederick Douglass appears to be sick of your shit. Black History Month, Day 21: Frederick Douglass 1818-1895 At 20, escaped slavery to the North, (he’d fallen in love with a free Black woman). On arrival on free soil (Philadelphia), they married. He spent much of his life seeking his parents…

This didn't take long.

When the platform asked me why I was canceling my account with them, I pasted a link to the article into the form. Slowly but surely shutting down everything that helps support this BS. Got my membership to AYH last fall. If I really want to go somewhere, I'll either camp or hostel. This is the way.

BTW, look up domain registrations at lookup.icann.org/en/lookup, nowhere else. If the company doesn't own it, it's phishing, and even if they do, go to their site and find what you need. Do not click on links--to FedEx, Paypal, Amazon, anywhere else.

Is it OK to call these people Nazis now? It's also important to note that the state of the country is such that they now feel it's safe to be open about this. Cool.

Los Angeles peeps—spread the word about ICE. We won’t know for sure until it happens, but better safe than sorry. Be prepared.

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

True story: a few years ago, I was being interviewed by a reporter for the New York Times. I mentioned the history of eviction statutes and how they tied into Jim Crow. The reporter asked "what's Jim Crow?" When I explained, the reporter didn't believe me and said the US wouldn't do that.

‼️ A quarter of US shoppers have dumped favorite stores over political stances. A new poll also found that four in 10 Americans have shifted spending to align with moral views in recent months. This is the way 🔥🔥🔥 #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #DemsUnited www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

@raskin.house.gov: "The whole anti-corruption crusade is an absolute fraud. They started by decimating the ranks of the inspectors general. These are the people whose job is actually, day in and day out, 365 days a year, to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse in the departments and the agencies."

If Americans could be sent to the camps for being the wrong ethnicity during the last World War, there's no reason why I and my children couldn't be sent to the camps during the next one. Or my Muslim friends and their children. It happened before. It could easily happen again. If we let it.

"New Analysis Reveals Many Excess Deaths Attributed to Natural Causes Are Actually Uncounted COVID-19 Deaths... The new study provides the most compelling data yet to suggest that excess mortality rates from chronic illnesses and other natural causes were actually driven by COVID-19 infections"

It's quite amazing and uncomfortable to realize just how much Google has wormed its way into every crevice and cranny of life. I'm reasonably sure there are viable alternatives to Maps, Calendar, and the like. I already have a Gmail-free email option, and I'm downloading Drive content like mad. 1/2

“The [White House’s declaration to the court] is quite obviously an attempt to retcon the structure of DOGE.” 💯 It’s also gaslighting. And perjury.

I've been saying they had four years to figure this stuff out and the useful WH resident was key to accomplishing the goal. Looks to me like confirmation (with or without bias). Keeping my head down seems prudent, because. Removal of online presence is just the start. substack.com/home/post/p-...
