BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

The reason I say the US is entering a new dark ages is we’re seeing attacks not just on science, but on the very idea that scientific reasoning should be independent of political control.

the fact that people were told “today you are going to an elementary school to lie to teachers and kidnap kids” and didn’t immediately tell their bosses to go fuck themselves is all you need to know about why ICE should be dismantled

This is the kind of thing that is going to happen constantly now that we have an unaccountable masked gang with complete impunity: Random scammers, stalkers and criminals are just going to pretend to be ICE, because why not?

I guess Trump decided that since he couldn't end the wars in Gaza or Ukraine, or do real trade deals, he might as well start a war in the United States. It's very MAGA!

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

You must always be more disciplined than the forces brought against you. They're allowed to make mistakes. They make the rules. Your mistakes will be used as justification for your own repression.

I've done a fair bit of research & read more on how to increase retirement savings. It's made me pretty pessimistic about every strategy except mandatory, universal pensions for baseline retirement income security. Lots of people just won't choose to save but will need $ later.

So the conservative justices who had a meltdown over their "privacy" being violated by Dobbs protests in front of their homes are cool with Musk's Doge minions rampaging through the personal data of EVERY American. Cool. Cool. Double standard. So awesome.

If you strip away the egos and shitposting, the Trump-Musk feud is really an argument over how comprehensively to screw over poor and working people—over how best to make our society a meaner, crueler, less equal, more savage place. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1962...

Economics literature: Trump's 2018 steel and aluminum raised prices, reduced output, cut employment and reduced wellbeing. Trump, 2025: What if we doubled them? I can't find a single study that suggests this is a good idea. Lemme know if you find one.

The speed with which the mainstream institutions and load bearing media orgs have folded is unbelievable. If there is a chance for libs to control them again in the future, they should be treated as what they are: dogs that have to know their place. This is the language they love and understand.

It is deeply hilarious that the Hudson's Bay Company was founded in 1670 and chugged along for three and a half centuries and Private Equity finished it off in like five years.
