Trump: "If you notice, every country that has the death penalty has no drug problem. They execute drug dealers. And when you think about it, it's very humane, because every drug dealer on average they say kills at least 500 people ... I don't know if our country is ready for it. I am ready for it."

Trump signs executive order saying all independent agencies are directed by him, must be loyal to him, all relevant laws affecting them are interpreted by him, and have spies embedded in them which report to him www.whitehouse.gov/presidential... That's totalitarianism. Right there.

In my city there is one cybertruck and one DIY parody of a cybertruck and the parody truck has become a local celebrity. Meanwhile, I always wish I had some rotten eggs to throw at the tesla whenever I see it.

At the request of the Trump Admin, the Ntl Park Service removed references to trans people in this essay w/o consulting the writer, historian @wendylrouse.bsky.social. Read it here as Prof Rouse intended (and as the NPS published/maintained it until now). 🗃️ drive.google.com/file/d/1p-rQ...

RE understanding dafuq is happening in the USA I've had a few recent chats with folks unfamiliar Bob Altemeyer's work studying the authoritarian mindset. I read his (free!) book "The Authoritarians" during Trump's 1st term. It helped make more sense of the how they frame world theauthoritarians.org

A lot of Black people I know saw this coming and have gone quiet / underground for like, a year. From CRT/DEI, We were being purged from positions, sidelined from jobs, and under this new line of attack for the last 3-4 years at state and local levels.

I don't completely understand what Spritely is and I don't really have money to spare but I'm chipping in a bit anyway because I trust Christine, agree with her general analysis of where things come up short, and I am so excited to find out what she and her team come up with.
